Dear America

Dear America,

It's election day... please get out and vote. This country needs our voices heard: republican or democrat. This election has been an outrage for both parties. The country seems more divided than ever before, and a lot of Americans are confused and angry. I urge everyone to go to the polls and have your voice heard. Your vote DOES in fact matter. Your opinion will make a difference if you go to the polls. A lot of people can sit and talk poorly about a candidate, but then put your money where your mouth is. VOTE. Whether you vote or not, someone will win the election, and someone will lose. You have the opportunity to make a difference on who that person is. This is a big job, one that shouldn't come lightly. Voting means that you are actively participating in democracy. It means that you want to make a difference for the sake of our kids and grandkids. This election will shape America in two different ways and it's your job to vote on which way you want the country run. This election has seemed like actual comedy at some points during the campaign. The debates became a laughing stock, candidates were accused of crimes, and this election has really been a complete disaster.

But, this is your chance, America. Vote. But, if the results don't go the way you'd hope, remember that we are still part of this country and WE have the ability to shape the generations to come in the way we teach our kids and by the way we treat others. We have an opportunity to make sure something like this election never happens again. But, it starts with a ballot. It starts by using your voice, and your opinion to make the best choice you can this election. It's not an easy task, and isn't all that fun either, but it's imperative we vote what we think will move our country on the right path. The day has come, America. It's our chance to shine and stand up for what we believe is right. It's our chance to yell at the top of our lungs what we want for this country. And just think, after all this is done, no more with the media fighting over sides, the election will end, one will win, and the world will keep spinning just like it has done before. It will keep going on with or without you, America. So for the sake of generations to come... please vote.

Sincerely,

A Very Nervous Voter

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.
