Summer is supposed to be the time when you're free to do whatever you want. No classes to wake up early for, no homework to be completed each night...but what about the bills you've got piling up? Working a full-time job has its ups and downs; you have some extra cash but no free time to do anything remotely fun. These 11 struggles are sure to cross your mind if you're one of the *lucky* ones that get to work full-time jobs this summer.

1. You think you'll get rich fast.

Yeah, til your first month of rent is due or you realize cooking (or eating out) every night is not going to be cheap.

2. You will constantly feel tired.

Working 40 hours a week just might be the death of you.

3. You'll miss your social life.

Sure, you'll have the nights and weekends, but you can kiss those spontaneous weekday beach trips goodbye.

4. You'll surely miss your friends.

You'll quickly learn to love your coworkers, though, since most of your time will be spent with them.

5. You might even miss the school year.

Writing essays and reading textbooks absolutely sucked, but at least there was a point when the workload was over and you could enjoy yourself.

6. You'll learn to have a love-hate relationship with your job.

You love the money and experience it brings you, but you know you're not ready for a full-time job; can we stay in college forever?

7. You probably will have a minimum of five alarms set every morning.

Being an adult is hard work and waking up early is a huge part of that.

8. Your world will revolve around caffeine.

Caffeine, all day every day.

9. You live for the weekend.

Ah, alas, two days you can sleep in if you're lucky.

10. You question how your parents do this every day.

Now you understand why they're always exhausted.

11. You wonder whether or not you're even ready to graduate.

Am I even cut out for this whole adulthood thing?

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
