Hopefully by now most of you know the name Brock Turner. If not, let me fill you in. He was a student at Stanford University. He is 21 years old. He used to be a competitive swimmer. And on January 18, 2015 he raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. He pleaded not guilty to FIVE felony charges and was found guilty, but only given 6 months in jail. Turner began his 6 month sentence on June 2nd of 2016 and was three months released early on September 2nd.

Brock Turner was in jail for a total of 90 days. For raping an unconscious woman.

90 days.

If that doesn’t make you angry then I’ll tell you just a few of the things that last longer than the time he spent in jail.

1. A potato.

According to OrganicLife.com, if you store a potato in the refrigerator and keep them safe, they can last up to 4 months. Just imagine what would’ve happened to Brock Turner if he had to spend four whole months in jail.

2. The filming of the Titanic.

It took 160 days to film The Titanic. That is still less than the time he was supposed to serve in the first place. He could have watched that movie 720 times with all of the free time he had in jail.

3. A cartilage piercing to heal.

The average cartilage piercing takes anywhere between 4 months to a year to heal completely. Turner’s suggested sentence was 6 years, he could’ve gotten so many piercings during that time.

4. A cruise around the world.

If you want to do something productive with your life you can go on a cruise around the whole world in as little as 106 days. Brock Turner could have done so much more with his life than spend 3 months in jail. He should have thought about that before he raped someone.

5. McDonald’s Burgers.

A man in Utah said he has kept a McDonald’s hamburger for 14 years and it still hasn't rotted. I wonder if Turner got McDonald’s in prison.

6. Summer.

Brock Turner missed almost the exact same amount of days as summer vacation. He missed only one of the four seasons. How will he ever get tan now?

7. Being Pregnant.

It takes 9 months to grow a human being inside a you, and hopefully that baby will not know about Brock Turner when it comes out.

8. Nail polish on your toes.

Once I painted my toes at the beginning of winter and it lasted until summer. That's a long time.

9. Stanley Yelnats's sentence at Camp Green Lake.

In the movie Holes, Stanley Yelnats was sentenced 18 months of service at Camp Green Lake for a crime he did not commit. He toughed it out and served more than the three months Turner did.

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.
