The Netflix original, "Bird Box," has not only unleashed new memes for the 2019 year, but it has also made a new viral challenge: The Bird Box Challenge.

We all know the horror film of "Bird Box" on Netflix that has everyone confused and raving about it altogether - the basic concept of being blindfolded to survive became of a deadly sensation that manifests itself through society looking at it. Oh, and also made Sandra Bullock a new meme.

But, it is not all humor and fun as a new "Bird Box" challenge has unfolded.

The "Bird Box" challenge consists of being blindfolded just like in the film and walking around outside for several hours.

Not all people are amused by the concept as Netflix has released a tweet forewarning everybody not to attempt the challenge.

"Can't believe I have to say this, but: PLEASE DO NOT HURT YOURSELVES WITH THIS BIRD BOX CHALLENGE," Netflix tweeted. "We do not know how this started, and we appreciate the love, but Boy and Girl have just one wish for 2019 and it is that you do not end up in the hospital due to memes."

Sadly, this tweet warning from Netflix has not stopped anyone in continuing to attempt the harmful and risky challenge---YouTubers such as Morgan Adams, B.E.A.M SQUAD, and even "E! News" have tried the challenge, giving it more promotion and intriguing young viewers.

There's no denying that memes and challenges stemming from the film have increased its' views and popularity, but Netflix also has to handle the burden of knowing that a lot of people are putting their own lives in danger because of a new viral challenge.

Success can come with a price, and this is just a minor example of that.

Enjoy the film, but stay safe and stay smart.

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.
