"Will and Grace" is an iconic TV show from the late 90s and ran until 2006. It was recently revived in 2017, and I personally could not be more grateful. I have watched the show, off and on, for a handful of years when the reruns would come on, but I never understood it. It was just a show that was kind of funny and was on.

It wasn't until they announced the revival that I decided to binge the entire series, because that is what my generation does. My only regret is not watching the whole series sooner. I realized that "Will and Grace" are the "role models," one might say, of true friendship and how to have a fun life.

Here are 11 things Will, Grace, Karen and Jack taught me about life:


1. Sometimes, creativity is the only way to survive a long day.

Work can seem like it lasts forever, so why not eat a doughnut on a pencil? Provides a challenge of not dropping the donut and not getting your hands dirty when you're handling important papers.

2. The world is a confusing place.

The real world can be a confusing place. Remind me again why there is no instruction manual?

3. Dating can be a real tear-jerker.

With all the dating apps that are out there, they really can take a hit on your self-esteem.

4. When someone is rude to you, just shake it off.

Drama from people who barely hold a small candle in your future are not worth the issues they throw at you.

5. Honesty is the best policy.

If you are not honest with yourself, you can not be honest with anyone else.

6. Healthy coping skills are super important.

Stress eating and sad eating are in no one's best interest.

7. Knowing how to shut down naysayers is also super important.

8. Labels do not define you.

Be you and be proud!

9. Life is short, so be spontaneous

If this means random dance parties in your apartment, do it.

10. Staying angry doesn't match you.

Let things roll off of you because half of the time it is not as important as you think it is.

11. Friends are the most important thing you have.

Without them, you would not be where you are today. Cherish them.

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.
