The final week of college football was upon us, with everyone itching in anticipation for the epic rematch of Clemson versus Alabama on January ninth. Besides that, the bowl season is behind us. With ACC teams taking down the SEC (some of their seasons ending as badly as Arkansas) and Big 12 teams trying to make a statement to Big 10 teams, it was a season for the books.

First, we’ll discuss LSU's dominating win against Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson and the Louisville Cardinals. LSU won 29-9 after playing as one heartbeat-one team. LSUs defense shut down the Cardinals AND the Heisman Trophy winner with one interception, one safety, one fumble, and eight sacks. LSU also kept him to low 153 passing yards and his season low of 33 rushing yards. The Tigers also kept them to only field goals meaning for their first time all season the Cardinals never scored a touchdown. In addition to that, the Tigers defense came hungry and maintained them to only 11 first downs and only let them complete 2 out of 17 3rd down conversions. It was a great day for the Tiger family, but a devastating loss for the Heisman Trophy winner and the 9-4 Cardinals.

Next, we have Arkansas vs Virginia Tech. If you watched the first half chances are you turned off your T.V. because you thought it was going to be a complete blow-out. Unfortunately for the Razorbacks it was quite the opposite. They went the entire second half without scoring and losing 35-24 ending their season 7-6.

Finally, we have Clemson vs Ohio State. Many thought this would be a close game or one that went into overtime, but they could not be more wrong. All I can say is that Clemson wanted the rematch against Alabama for the National Championship and they did everything in their power to it. They did not only demolish the Buckeyes but they rolled right over them with a 31-0 win. Clemson secured their spot in the National Championship and will compete against Alabama on January 9th for the second year in a row. Who will win? Will Alabama prove they’re the best college football team once again or will Clemson finally bring down the SEC? Tune in on January ninth to find out and read about it January 16th!

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.
