In this article, I've decided to list the important lessons Glee has left behind in my heart, as well as in the hearts of the many "Gleeks" still out there.

Always follow your dreams

Giphy

Ever since the first episode, Glee has been teaching us about following our dreams. No matter what gets in the way, you should always go after them.

Learn to be accepting of others

The Glee cast consisted of a variety of backgrounds, and the casting director did this on purpose. They used this continually to teach us to be accepting of others.

Learn to be accepting of yourself

Another thing Glee has always been good at is teaching us to accept who we are and the feelings we have.

Life is tough, but it gets better

Life is hard. Things happen that make you feel like there's no point anymore, but it always gets better. Glee shows us that even after the hardest trials, you can come out on top.

Be Kind

Giphy

Although Rachel wanted so much for her life, she also wanted everything for Finn. She was so kind and did as much as she could for him.

Be careful with what you say

Giphy

Remember when Fin called Kurt's lamp faggy? Or when he called Sue's baby retarded? Just because he had the freedom to say those words, doesn't mean he should. Words hurt people and sometimes, they cut deeper than knives.

Believe in yourself

Confidence is so important. Believing in yourself is the key to acheiving your dreams.

Labels are just labels

Never let labels define who you really are.

You can never dream to big

Rachel started so low and ended up on Broadway winning a Tony. Everyone told her that she would never make it there, but she worked hard and got herself there.

Never forget to be who you are

Be who you are. Never forget that. When you finally learn to love who you are, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

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.
