23 Times "Weekend Update" Made the News Fun
www.etonline.com

Unlike many other, well-informed Americans, I just can't bring myself to keep up with the news everyday. At the end of my day, the last thing I need is a reminder that the American government is running around in chaos, or that the earth is dying and we're all doomed. I don't need that at the end of the day. Not to mention the chaos that is trying to weed out "unbiased" journalism. But if I can keep up with the big highlights of the world around me, and still keep a smile on, that's the kind of news I can appreciate. So thank you, "Weekend Update" for lightly informing me about the world around me while tickling my funny bone at the same time.


Huh. Good to know.

www.giphy.com


Good to know. Better cancel those Disney World tickets too.

Now I know who to swipe-left on Tinder.

The answers we all need! Get on it already, George R.R. Martin!

Good idea, Colin. Office politics are best handled peacefully. And I understood that reference!


www.giphy.com


Clowns are the real threat.


www.giphy.com


I should definitely stick with my apple products.

I don't get this...but I am now compelled to LEARN! Thank you, "Weekend Update"!

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.

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.
