Do you remember some events in history that did not affect college students at all?


1. When the dinosaur age failed to impact our lives

Even though the Paleolithic Age was a long time ago and it created much of the world today, we still have no record of what it has done for our current lives.

2. The moment when Gandhi was discriminating against South Africans

I know how much we all appreciate Mahatma Gandhi. However, our favorite Gandhi believed that other people were inferior to Caucasian people.

3. When both World War 1 and 2 did more to seal the world than break it

Those bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and those wars with Eastern Europe created a more unified eastern and western relation today. That being said, Putin is NOT part of the example.

4. The time Barack Obama left Trump in duty

Our favorite President has to leave us. With that said, he leaves a racist and dominating Republican in charge of controlling the White House and the nation's politics. Go America!

5. When the #MeToo movement led to gun control uproar

Many protest marches have been going on against sexist acts in the country. In order to expose the harsh reality behind sexual assaults and violence against women, American ladies have tried to expose men for there own wrong doings. As a result, kids have begun protesting against gun violence in schools. Kids have taken charge of politics.

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.
