We all know that saying "When one door closes, another one opens." Well, CW's backdoor just flew wide open this month with the premiere of Riverdale, an Archie Comics adaptation. A few months ago, CW announced that the legendary Vampire Diaries was ending, however, with one mega show coming to a close the network didn't leave fans in the dust. Make room for yet another binge-worthy TV series, because CW definitely didn't disappoint. Here are the top 5 questions we all have after watching Chapter 1 of Riverdale. Beware of SPOILERS! If you haven't seen it, turn back now!

1) Where is Jason's Body?

The episode begins as we watch two redheaded teenagers, Jason and Cheryl Blossom, going out on the lake all mysterious like. Hours later, we find the girl, Cheryl, soaked with water and crying out that they tipped the boat where she swam to the shore only to find that Jason was nowhere in sight. I'm assuming that when the boat tipped, Jason fell and hit his head and drowned, but where is the body? If you think about it, if the “drowning” happened within a few hours the floating body was sure to emerge somewhere? Well, apparently not! However, what is even weirder is that this chick’s twin brother “drowns” and she is still the Queen-bee wreaking havoc as if nothing happened. Seems a bit fishy to me!

2) What’s the history between Archie and Veronica’s parents?

This is a very good question if you ask me. Veronica, who is the newbie in town after her mom, with limited resources, moved them to her hometown after her husband was caught embezzling from a lot of powerful and rich people and is going through a long trial. Well, the first day back in town, Veronica’s mom visits Archie’s dad, who happens to a childhood friend, and asks for a job. However, given her husband’s reputation, he is forced to say no to the job. What I want to know is how exactly they know each other and what the history is. Another valid question is, where is Archie’s mom?

3) Why do Betty’s parents hate the Blossoms?

Surely it can’t just be because Jason and Betty’s sister were dating? No, like Veronica’s mom and Archie’s dad, there has to be an epic history. However, usually, when a child dies, parents empathize with the grieving parents. Well, not Betty’s, controlling mother. The day Cheryl was found, Betty’s mother said, “I hope in his last moments he suffered.” Yikes! Harsh much? Maybe not. Turns out, Betty’s sister had a mega meltdown when Jason went “missing” and was the institutionalized.

4) How does Jughead fit into the mix?

Now, there is a character named Jughead. Cast out of the main social group, this character seems to be the narrator of the story. However, I want to know why he is cast out. It is hinted that Archie and Jughead used to be best friends but if that were so, then how come Betty doesn’t really associate with Jughead since she is Archie’s best friend? And, if they were friends, why aren’t they friends anymore?

5) Who Shot Jason Blossom?

Turns out “drowning” was not the cause of death of Jason Blossom. He was shot! But who shot him, and why did his sister claim he fell into the water and drowned? Was his sister behind his death? So, so many questions that need answers! I just want to know what Queen-bee Cheryl is hiding and how is Betty’s sister involved? And why didn’t Archie report the gunshot on July 4th? Was it just because of who he was with or he generally feared about getting in trouble?

So many questions that need to be answered. Riverdale airs on CW at 9 p.m.

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.
