Hurricane Matthew & Other Events Of 2016

This year has been quite eventful

Hurricane Matthew & Other Events Of 2016
Mykindarain

So far this year there have been many worldwide events that have occurred including presidential debates, Kim Kardashian being robbed at gunpoint in Paris, clowns terrorizing our streets, and more recently, with Hurricane Matthew having ravaged everything in its path. There has been so much going on, and 2016 is not yet over, warranting for many other things to come.

In regards to the presidential debates, elections are coming up next month in November, so results are that are pending. I don't know about you, but I definitely do not want Trump running our country with his racist, cynical, and sexist opinions.

As far as Kim Kardashian West on the other side of the world, what happened to her is something that I would not wish on my worst enemy, so sympathy and regards go out to her and her family. May Kim's bodyguard fulfill his promise to the Kardashian family and find those who brought on this havoc.

As far as the whole clown thing goes, everyone better know that I'll be staying home in my comfy bed on Halloween night and not facing the dangers out there brought on by this disguise consuming the country. I have seen enough horror movies in my lifetime to know that those who go out looking for trouble will most surely find it.

Onto another issue, there were many evacuations taking place in South Carolina and Georgia as Florida was being demolished by Hurricane Matthew. As far as news reports go, flooding took place in most of the regions in the South East, and not only has it affected America, but it has affected Haiti as well. Many lives have been lost, as well as many homes. Over 500 lives were lost in Haiti, and 43 were lost in the United States, so prayers out to those lives lost and to their families.

With only a few months left in 2016, there is still much room for more events like these to occur. The hurricane season is still ongoing, Kim Kardashian West's assailants are still at large, clowns are still terrorizing the country, and elections are still yet to take place. 2016 has been one heck of a ride, so fasten your seatbelts folks, and be prepared for more to come.

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.
