When it comes down to being broke in college or having a part time job, we will choose anything but being broke. Most of these jobs though, take advantage of their student workers and have the highest level of standards. With that being said, these are the things you start to notice when you're working way too much for your college job.

1. According to your employer - Your job is more important than anything else, even school.


2. You think you can work more than five days a week like you don't need sleep or anything.


3. Employer tries stay open later then they're supposed to, then tells you that work is your plans and only plans.


4. You're given one day off within the week and they still try to call you in.


5. You don't get to have weekend days off, even though that's the only days you can actually sleep in.


6. When you realize you applied for a part-time job, but in reality, you're actually working full time.


7. Your days literally start to repeat themselves, only consisting of work, school, and sleep.


8. Your grades start slipping.


9. Your friends or even significant other, rarely ever see you.


10. You have no life, work is your life.


You're job has literally consumed you, even though this is not the job you are gonna have the rest of your life. You're in school to further your education, not work every free moment you have. Everyone knows that its hard to stick up to your employer, but YOU are in control of your life. Do not let them take advantage of you and be the reasons you don't succeed or graduate.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
