Let's get this straight: I do not hate basketball and actually quiet enjoy the sport!!

March Madness stresses me out and it happens so fast that if you don't already have a bracket filled out starting February 17th you're already losing. This happens to me every year.

If you don't care about basketball, then make some of these brackets!

1. Trump administration

There are tons of open positions in the current administration, so what better way to watch everything burn than create a bracket for who will take what spot?! Way more entertaining than basketball.

2. Deciding what Netflix show to watch next

It's so complicated, especially when you've watched every early-2000s-teen-coming-of-age-drama series. Ugh.

3. President 2020

We're only 2 years away from a new president, which means midterms are coming soon and so will the beginnings of campaigns. Start placing your bets now!!

4. Hottest basketball player in the NBA

They're all tall and muscular so I really won't be mad who wins.

5. Hottest basketball player in the NCAA

If I start to slide into some DMs now, will I get a trophy husband by the time I graduate??

6. RuPaul's Drag Race contestants

This fandom is insane. They probably already know who's going to be on the next next next season. I would do research before entering any bracket.

7. Where to go for brunch

With so many places offering different specials, how do you choose?? ... okay just put down the names with the best boozy brunch, then go from there.

8. Where to go in your town to avoid the most people possible

I'm talking the run down grocery store with the really old checkout person, the bad sushi place and a Wawa at least 3 miles away.

9. Best food delivery services

Between UberEats, GrubHub, Favor, Postmates... how do you keep track?? Who has the best rates?? Who is fastest?? I NEED TO KNOW.

10. Trying Pinterest recipes

All of these mom bloggers know what's up. I would trust them with my life. But who has the best recipe for a southwestern chicken salad??

11. Podcasts

I once said that NPR was the first podcast, and I still believe in that statement. When did millennials get into podcasts?? LMK.

12. Best 90s toy

My frontrunner is the Tamagotchi. That's all.

13. Where to vacation/travel next

If it's cheap then it doesn't matter. But a bracket would be nice to decide.

14. Books

Um, if you didn't read "Big Little Lies," what are you doing?? Enter the best books of 2017 please.

15. Next Sephora purchase

This place stresses me out already so going in with a clear idea of what to purchase helps me immensely.

16. Starbucks drinks

We can all say that the cherry mocha sounds disgusting, and an iced skinny vanilla latte will definitely win.

17. What to order for take out

If all the options are placed in front of me, I would maybe be able to make a better choice. Or like, stop ordering food so much.

18. Best Trader Joe's frozen meal

I think they're all delicious so every single one might become a winner.

19. Disney Channel Original Movies

Please do not forget "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century" when creating your bracket.

20. Memes

Top 2017 memes only.

21. Vines

My friends and I only talk in Vine quotes and if you feel like taking risks on your friendships, I would compete in a bracket like this

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
