Did anyone predict generational war between GenZ and Millennials for February of 2021? because I sure didn't. Several tik Toks have recently highlighted the extreme differences between these two generations, and Millennials are very upset. So to break it down for anyone who is confused, or completely unaware, I'm gonna go over the main three things that have sparked these debates

1. Skinny Jeans.

During the past few years, skinny jeans have sort of died. Recently, a Tik Tok blew up of a group of GenZ girls out together all wearing baggy/mom jeans and sneakers. The same video then showed a group of Millennials who were all wearing skinny jeans and heels. This sparked a debate in the comments about which type of jeans are better. Many more videos have stemmed from this, most with Millennials being offended that skinny jeans are no longer "cool" and GenZ saying that we really don't care what you wear.

2. Middle Parts.

Started from a Tik Tok of a woman in her late 20's doing a makeup routine and everyone in her comments spamming, saying she needed to try a middle part. In the next video she did, and it blew up. This then caused millennials to start another "Wait why isn't this cool anymore???" narrative, this time for side parts. Trust me, GenZ doesn't really care about where you part your hair (It looks better in the middle though.)

3. Giving your kid an Ipad.

Once again, started with a Tik Tok. A teen posted a video saying "Can GenZ all agree to not give our kids Ipads?" which then was duetted by a Millennial mom asking what they made that video on. The point of her video then becoming completely invalid because the girl was making the video on an iphone and she was probably 16 years old. These videos created a debate between teens and Millennial moms about parenting strategies, and if its healthy to give your kid an Ipad at such a young age or if it's just convienent for the mom.

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.
