*Spoiler article* If you didn't finish the series then I wouldn't recommend reading this article until you do. Fair warning! All those willing to take the risk, don't say I didn't warn you.

Ok, if you're like me then you probably binge-watched "Stranger Things" in a day. I am completely in love with season two. In my opinion, it is so much better than season one.

The creators really listened to a lot of requests we had, including the main, Barb. In this season, a lot of the characters really grew; but not as much as the very handsome jock, Steve Harrington.

When we first meet Steve, he is the cocky jock who's mean to Jonathan, even though he deserved it and just wanted to get in Nancy's pants. But, this season we see another side of Steve.

1. Going with Nancy to see Barb's parents.

The old Steve probably would've told Nancy not to go or to just go alone, but nope. He went with her.

2. His feud with Billy.

We can pretty much all agree that Billy is an ass but has family issues, so you can't be 100 percent against him. Throughout all of season two, when we see Billy and Steve, Steve doesn't care what Billy does to him. But when Billy goes after Lucas, BOOM!

3. His relationship with Dustin.

Yes, he has develops a friendship with all the kids, but his real bond is with Dustin. When he and Dustin first see each other, Dustin couldn't get a hold of any of his friends, so who better to help him with Dart than Steve.

He's the first person he could find, so why not. But, throughout the season they grow closer and closer. Dustin knows he can rely on Steve. The old Steve from season one honestly wouldn't have cared about Dustin or helping him.

Sidenote: Dustin was a developing character in season one, so we really see an evolution in both characters--which is why I think they are the perfect pairing.

4. His friendship with Mike, Lucas, and Max.

As I said before, Steve developed a great friendship with the kids and it's pretty clear he would do anything for them. When Lucas was pinned against the wall by Billy, that's when Steve really stepped up. He also made sure that the kids didn't go down the hole alone to look for the ''demodogs,'' as referred by Dustin. He may have promised Nancy to make sure nothing happened to them but believes that deep down, Steve really was looking out for them.

5. Lastly, he still can use that bat.

Need I say a lot about this one? This bat has been with him since last season when he, Nancy and Jonathan defeated the first Demogorgon. The bat stayed with him and he can still hit a demodog.

All in all, Steve isn't the same asshole who only cared about himself and his popularity status. He's now a person who cares for his new friends.

So do your happy dance and let's celebrate the second season and the new and improved Steve Harrington!

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.
