"Pass me the aux cord!"

A phrase you hear countless times during a college road trip, whether it be across state lines or to Target. My generation does not really listen to the radio anymore because we have the technology in our cars, or accessories, that allows us to listen to our own playlists or a playlist created by someone else.

Music is still alive and well today, in fact it is growing exponentially with the number of new artists coming on the scene. With less and less number of millennials listening to live radio, we rely on our own music tastes and even our friends' playlists. I have my own "go-to" list of songs while my two friends have their own completely different "go-to" list of songs.

The one thing we can all agree on is that the 80's has some of the best hits known to mankind.


1. "Physical" by Olivia Newton John

Probably one of the weirdest songs of the 80s, but it is a fun one to work out to.

2. "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen

Okay, but who doesn't love Queen? They made so many huge hits that we still listen to today.

3. "I Love Rock 'N Roll" by Joan Jett

Without this song, how else would you know how much to put into the jukebox, baby?

4. "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson

I still sing this in the shower or when I'm in the car alone. Michael, we get it. Billie Jean isn't your lover, and the kid is not your son.

5. "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi

My second favorite "go-to" karaoke song.

6. "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey

My first favorite "go-to" karaoke song. Also, play the first couple of notes in a crowded room and I promise you everyone will start singing it. It's a fun social experiment!

7. "Girls Just Wanna have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper

I would be lying if I said I didn't try out with this song for my junior high talent show.

8. "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor

Oh the song of every high school band, ever.

9. "We Are The World" - Various Artists

Although this came out in 2010 for Haiti, it was first used for the starving people in Ethiopia.

10. "Mickey" by Toni Basil

If anything, this one hit wonder has a catchy chorus!

11. "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" by The Clash

It's a serious question because if he goes there will be trouble, but if he stays there will be double.

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.
