9 Great Things We Still Have Post Election
Quote

With the new President-Elect, many people think that the world is going to end and basically think that we are doomed. Well, news flash...we aren't. You can get on any type of social media profile and see some sort of opinion on the election results and let me tell you, it is a bit old. So here are some positive things that we still have in life to look forward to every day.

1.) DOGS

I'm sorry but dogs are absolutely great!!! You can not tell me that you do not feel the slightest bit of joy when you see a little puppy learning about everything for the first time. Which by the way, to all the people that may be moving to Canada because Trump won, some parts do not allow pit bulls so have fun with that.

2.) CHRISTMAS

IT IS CALLED THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR FOR A REASON. You very rarely see anyone that upset about it being Christmas. Everyone is happy and cheerful, you get to visit family you have not seen in a while, ugly Christmas sweaters are amazing, you get to give people presents, and oh yeah Baby Jesus and Santa stuff are EVERYWHERE.

3.) PARADES

Whether you are watching them on TV or in person you can not help but smile while watching it. You can not be upset or angry while you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. It just does not work that way.

4.) BALLOONS

Seriously most everyone is happy around balloons. Some may be afraid of balloons, but it's always fun to kick around balloons and see how long you can keep them up in the air.

5.) PIZZA

I should not have to explain this one honestly.

6.) REALITY TV SHOWS

We will always want to watch and see who gets a rose, who wins the mirror ball trophy, which toddler won the tiara, and which real housewife ruined a dinner by throwing a class at someone. It keeps us from worrying about the issues sometimes and even makes us thankful that we do not do that.

7.) DISNEY MOVIES

It is really hard to be negative while watching an old Disney movie. Animated Disney movies and Pixar movies also make us forget about the real world for a little while. You also may get a catchy song from a movie stuck in your head for a few days.

8.) PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES

This may be the stereotypical white girl coming out in me but seriously any good pumpkin spice latte automatically makes my soul ten times happier. Even a pumpkin spice frappuccino is pretty good on a hot fall day (if you do not live in the south then you probably do not understand.)

9.) FAMILY & FRIENDS

At the end of the day, you still have tons of people who love you, care about you, and want to see you be the happiest you can be. And I am sure they do not want you upset ever.

So yes the election results may be unpleasing to some, and great for others. But just remember these 9 things that still make the life great.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.

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.
