This year thousands of young Americans, including myself, will vote for the first time in this year's 2016 Presidential Election, and this year thousands of Americans have come to look at the presidential race as a joke, rightfully so.

From the routine accusations and arguments about Hillary and the emails to the two to three ridiculous comments made by Trump, anything and everything in this election has turned into a viral icon on social media and none of us really know whether to laugh or cry in accepting the fact that we are accountable in voting in an election that more people are looking forward to vote just to get it over with rather than actually voting with a purpose.

Can't wait to not have to see a single commercial, debate, meme, tweet and everything election related after Tuesday? Here are 22 things less painful than this election:

1. Stepping on a Lego

2. Having to watch the full two minute advertisement before watching a video online

3. Hitting your side on a counter top corner

4. Getting a charley horse while driving

5. Only having 3G for hours

6. Being at the hospital and having a new nurse screw up putting in your IV 3-plus times

7. Getting a charley horse while sleeping

8. Being a Browns fan

9. Pouring Hydrogen Peroxide on an open wound

10. Hitting your funny bone

11. Listening to "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" by Tiny Tim (the "Insidious" theme song) on repeat

12. Putting in a piece of 5 winter mint gum and then drinking a cup of cold ice water

13. Watching the Warriors blow a 3-1 lead as a Golden State fan

14. Watching the Indians blow a 3-1 lead as a Cleveland fan

15. Wearing two left shoes that are also two sizes too small

16. Getting into a political argument with a die-hard Trump supporter

17. Getting into a political argument with a die-hard Hillary supporter

18. Getting a Charley Horse in general


19. Burning your knuckles on the roof of your toaster oven while checking to see if your food is done

20. Having to keep your pants buttoned while you have a food baby

21. Slamming your hand in a car door

22. Checking your bank account after a night out

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.

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.
