Ever since I was young, I was prone to watching an interesting movie and automatically wanting the job or profession of the protagonist. There was something so magical about treasure hunters, tornado chasers, and detectives. Not only did these people risk their lives, they truly enjoyed what they did everyday. They didn't have typical nine to five jobs, they made their passion into a paying position and loved every thrilling minute of it.

1. "Twister."

How cool would it be to create and test new technology to understand tornados all while working with a crazy group of dudes driving from one valley to the next chasing one funneling cloud of debris at a time? Jo is a strong soon-to-be divorced scientist who will stop at nothing to understand what took her father from her at such a young age.

2. "National Treasure."

Ben Gates and his best friend Riley are 100% dedicated to finding treasure and protecting it from their estranged partner, Ian, and his group of minions. This story incorporates history, thrill, romance and comedy all into one movie that will leave you with some fast facts for winning the next trivia game night.

3. "Pirates of the Caribbean."

Captain Jack Sparrow floats his own boat. Literally. Jack does whatever he wants, however he wants and whenever he wants. There are absolutely zero rules. There's something about a rugged and intoxicated Johnny Depp that makes viewers want to quit school and join a crew of crazy old people ready to fight for a ship. Plus, watching Orlando Bloom risk everything to save the love of his life is super entertaining!

4. "The Devil Wears Prada."

Andy is pushed around, is the butt of jokes and is totally taken advantage of by her boss, the queen of Runway Magazine Miranda Priestley. Although, it takes a while and completely changes the Andy that walked into the magazine headquarters, Anne Hathaway's character is able to understand the definition of hard work. She works crazy hours, books flights, memorizes hundreds of names and knows to never return to the office without steaming hot Starbucks. She becomes the ultimate assistant, but at the cost of relationships with her boyfriend, family, friends and even herself. Her boss, played by the one and only Meryl Streep, lets nothing stand in her way to achieve fashion royalty. She expects the best and simply does not accept anything less than perfect.

5. "Miss Congeniality."

Gracie Hart is a badass FBI agent turned beauty queen when she's assigned an undercover position at the Miss United States Pageant. She's waxed, plucked, straightened and given etiquette classes, training her how to act like a proper lady (no ketchup stains, please). Despite the dresses, swimsuits and hairspray, Gracie doesn't lose any sass, confidence or strength while allowing herself to be completely transformed. She learns to look past appearances and find value in every single person she encounters, albeit beneath ten pounds of makeup.

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.
