Yeah, sure, he's the President-Elect or whatever, but how could TIME Magazine attempt to draw in readers with someone who didn't even win the popular vote? Besides make Americans Brexit themselves, Donald Trump has done nothing truly presidential, and there are a number of people who are more qualified to be recognized as TIME's person of the year for their notable accomplishments.

1. President Barack Obama


If for no other reason than transitioning with grace and throughout the process hand-holding the very man who wants to demolish his legacy.

2. Lin-Manuel Miranda

This one goes without explanation, I mean have you heard the Hamilton Mixtape?!

3. That Uber Driver That Lets You Use the Aux Cord

Not all heroes wear capes.

4. Shirley Caesar


Who is Shirley Caesar you may ask? Only the woman who blessed us with the best Thanksgiving rap of all time. It will live on in our hearts until next turkey day.

5. Lil Sebastian


The legend himself, may he rest in peace. The title has pretty much lost all meaning at this point, so why not extend it to mini-horses?

6. Beyonce

How has this not happened yet?

7. Any Restaurant Employee Ever That Has Had to Deal with a Secret Menu Hack

Your double-shot, extra whip, frappuccino with a pump of cinnamon dolce syrup and the tears of your barista is holding up the line.

8. Amy Sherman-Palladino

The Gilmore Girls revival was iconic and should be remembered as such.

Fun Fact: the "M" in TIME over Trump's head on the cover almost look like devil horns.

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.
