Absolutely. I remember being a senior during the last semester and feeling extremely overwhelmed with the whole college stuff and my classes plus after school activities. Burnout for students is a real thing. I even remember feeling guilty for being absent—I’m missing out on classes and also making my parents upset.

I say mental health days should be a thing for everybody. Burnout’s real everywhere.

Central / jersey shore. Depending on where exactly in highlands could straight up be called jersey shore. The inlet has its own bay and a small public beach for Atlantic highlands right next to Sandy hook so I’d absolutely consider that jersey shore. The stretch of highway leading to Middletown is more “central jersey” so you could say both.

Yes it’s pronounced cheese-quake.

Yup, and i have to say pet insurance has really improved in the last 10 year or so since we had our lest dog. I had it back then, and it was more akin to dental insurance.

Our new puppy arguably has better insurance than i do, and I have pretty good insurance.

trust me i consider all these things. i dont do this full time so i have the luxury to only take high paying orders.

im also lucky enough to live near a plaza and many stores. (ramsey, mahwah) so i dont need to leave my house to start my shift.

This morning i did a $9.75 order going 3 miles. these are the only ones i’ll take. they add up at the end of the year.

i also do it for the tax deductions. my w2 job takes alot of money out of my paycheck.

My father sold upon my high school graduation, so I had to find a job and housing that summer as well as collegiate summers when I wasn't militarily training. By your age I had been in the '73 Yom Kippur War and behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Rented one-bedrooms until my next employer threw money at me to buy, that I wouldn't get otherwise. Still there, having rented it when employed out-of-state for five years.

Get a French press and some decent ground coffee and you can have better quality coffee for less without the environmental impact of dumb plastic k-cups. You can even make cold brew. If you want to start going crazy, get a scale and a cheap blade grinder and start grinding your beans. Much better than k-cups or delivered Starbucks coffee.
