It is universally accepted that this political season was a mess.

We are all beyond over it. So now that it is now out of our control, let's stop the Facebook rants and get back to the things we all know and love. Here are 27 things I'd rather do than talk, think or write about politics.

1. Watch paint dry

2. Watch every documentary on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime

3. Clean up a park

4. Completely cover someone's car in post-it notes

5. Fill out all the immigration paperwork for Canada

6. Learn to cook a duck

7. Help retirees learn to tweet

8. Take up geocaching

9. Watch every rom-com I own, twice

10. Re-read old textbooks (or read them for the first time)

11. Watch infomercials

12. Start a blog about how much I love pickles

13. Read the Jane Austen collected works, over and over again

14. Sort laundry for my entire apartment complex

15. Start a pooper scooper business

Okay so maybe I've made my point, I would literally rather do ANYTHING else other than keep talking thinking or even breathing about anything even possibly politically related. I know it's important, but this year everyone has really gotten out of hand. So here are 13 more, less torturous things I'd rather do than talk, think, or write about politics.

16. Learn one amazing recipe from Chef Gordon Ramsey

17. Make some super cool Christmas decor

18. Color in the array of super cool adult coloring books

19. Catch up with Grey's Anatomy (2 more seasons to go!)

20. Make some homemade dog treats

21. Harry Potter Marathon, duh.

22. Google random google searches

23. Plan a super cool vacation that I'll never go on (Bora-Bora here I come!)

24. Go window shopping at the mall

25. Listen to a new playlist on Spotify

26. Arrange a book swap

27. Thank God that the election is over, and work on bringing all my friends back together

How else will I survive the countless hours of class time that I will be surfing the web during?!?!

Let's all just go back to regularly scheduled insta posts, funny tweets, and hilarious memes shall we? Also, we all need to know what you made for dinner, so don't forget to post that too, thanks!

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.

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.
