My Grandma's Top Ten Songs From Her Teenage Years

Ashley Fisher

My grandma has always told me music is the gateway to a persons heart. Considering the fact that she grew up listening to Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Elvis Presley, I can see why she truly believes that. Ever since I can remember, I have been listening to 50s and 60s music. I remember her always playing You Make Me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra on our radio and watching her slow dance around the living room with my grandfather. Or singing her old music in the car while she was driving me to school early in the morning. This made me realize that the rap and pop music I grew up with isn't the only so-called 'good music' around. Music has been around for hundreds of years, so here's a little taste of what we would call, 'grandma music'.

That's Life - Frank Sinatra

At Last - Etta James

I'll Be Seeing You - Billie Holiday

Grandma's Hand - Bill Withers

I'll Never Smile Again - Frank Sinatra

Please, Please, Please - James Brown

Blue Suede Shoes- Elvis Presley

Young At Heart - Frank Sinatra

Someone to Watch Over Me - Ella Fitzgerald

You Make Me Feel So Young - Frank Sinatra

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.
