15 Things I Would Rather Do Or Hear About Than Donald Trump Or Hillary Clinton

2016 has shown to be a very pivotal and history changing year. Bernie Sanders, a former Senator for the Socialist party was almost neck-and-neck with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Mrs. Clinton, a former first lady and Secretary of State, has made history as the first woman to win a top party nomination for the presidency -- even after a nasty e-mail scandal. The Republican Party is being led by a business tycoon and television celebrity, whose favorite past time is talking about this big wall he wants to build along the southern border of the United States.

Gun rights are the hottest topic in politics, aside from police brutality and Black Lives Matter. We live in a world where we are bombarded by politics and social issues through every orifice of media. You turn on the television or radio and they are talking about what's happening in the Middle East and with the president and the election. You open Facebook or Twitter and everyone is bashing Clinton for being a terrorist and traitor and for Trump being a fascist and an idiot.

And you know what? I am so sick of it. So for the sake of hilarity, I have compiled a list of things I would absolutely love to hear about more than Clinton or Trump, or anything else remotely political.

1. How much money I am racking up in student loan debt.

2. The rise in tuition at my institute of higher education.

3. How my bank over drafted my account and won't refund my fee.

4. How comfortable my mother felt during her colonoscopy.

5. How many people called in to work at my job.

6. How I have to clean the toilet.

7. About my uncle's last bowel movement (Hint: It was a doosey).

8. That my dog just died.

9. That I still only make minimum wage at my job.

10. The thoughts anticipating my next gynecological exam.

11. How someone hasn't showered at all in three or four days.

12. Hearing the sound of smacking gum.

13. Watching kids destroy a display I just created at work.

14. Balancing my check book.

15. Talking to any customer service operator that speaks English as a second language.

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.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
