Working sucks, but having money to spend it great(we can all agree). I enjoy working because I appreciate when that direct deposit hits randomly and my overall amount in my bank goes up. Now that is a joyous feeling that almost nothing compares to. Furthermore, whether you work over summer break and attend classes the rest of the year, like I do, or you work all year and go to school, you can relate to this laundry list of complaints and thoughts you have while on the job.

1. "Only one more hour of freedom."

2. "I really need to start getting out of bed and get dressed."

Giphy

3. "Oh no. I still have to drive there."

Giphy

4. "This traffic sucks. I think I might quit. Might."

Giphy

5. "Omg, Dan totally parked in my spot that I ALWAYS park in."

Giphy

6. "So, like, how many hours do I have left?"

Giphy

7. "Only like six hours left, and I haven't even walked in yet."

Giphy

8. "Oh no, the boss is walking towards me, LOOK BUSY!"

Giphy

9. "Phew. She only wanted to tell me I was doing a great job."

Giphy

10. "Wait. She's still talking to me. Now she's giving me a list of things-to-do."

Giphy

11. "Wow. Okay. I'll be here late, again."

Giphy

12. "No! It's only been 45 minutes."

Giphy

13. "I hate these dumb uniforms."

Giphy

14. "Did I feed the dog that I'm dog sitting? I'm only doing that to make extra cash because this job pays me nothing."

Giphy

15. "How many hours of my life have I dedicated to this job?"

Giphy

16. "I wish I could be in Spain. Or Italy. Or Greece. Where is my travel abroad experience?"

Giphy

17. "Oh, look. Only two hours left. Okay, so that's like four 30-minute sessions at the gym."

Giphy

18. "Will I even be able to contemplate going to the gym after this shift?"

Giphy

19. "I wonder if all my friends are having fun not working and hanging out with each other."

Giphy

20. "How come Jared gets to go home early? What has he done that deserves this amazing opportunity?"

Giphy

21. "Maybe I should ask for some time off. I know I just started working a week ago, but work life is stressful."

Giphy

22. "Yes, 20 minutes left. Power through."

Giphy

23. "Okay, Jan. We get it, you had a GREAT time on your spring break trip. Now please walk away."

Giphy

24. "YAY! I'm free at last!"

Giphy

25. gets into car "Damn. I left my phone charger there…Nope, we are going home. Not worth it."

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. 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.
