Fall For You



Secondhand Serenade - Fall For You

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Your impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you i'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may of failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cuz talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When your asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Your impossible to find

Working at Baskin Robbins



What would it feel like to have a job?

I've always thought jobs were awesome.
Finally having the chance to earn your own money.

Freedom.


Never having to beg your parents again if you really want a pair of shoes, a warm comfy jacket, or even a new video game.

This summer, my dream finally came true; I got a job at Baskin 31 Robbins (it's an ice cream snack bar for those who don't know what it is).

Despite the fact that I finally had a chance to earn my own money, 6 hours a day was pretty painful; especially when you only get paid $8 per hour.
Not only was it boring but, scooping ice-cream can be a real workout.

However, it was a great experience as well.
The people I work with are amazing and are among the coolest people I have ever met.
When I just started working there, they would always help me out and correct me when I did something wrong.

It felt as if I belonged there.

In addition to this experience, I started to realize why my parents refuse to buy me everything I want. It's not because they didn't love me but, rather because they wanted to train me so when I grew up, I would know how to manage money.

When I spend money provided by my parents I didn't feel any regret.
However, now when I spend my own money, I realize:
"Wow, I had to work hard to earn this money. Should I really just... spend it?"

That made me realize money does not grow on trees.
Before, I would hate my parents for not buying me this and that.
Now, I thank them for teaching me that money is not an easy thing to earn.

To conclude, I had a great time working this summer. It not only provided me an insight on money management but, it put an extra $600 in my pocket. :)
