Maybe you got a notification on your phone, maybe you watched it on TV, maybe you have no idea what i’m talking about...well I'm about to tell you.

On Tuesday, December 12th, 2017, Doug Jones defeated Roy Moore in the Alabama senate race.

You may be wondering...why is this significant? Well, for starters Doug Jones is a democrat who won against a republican in a mostly republican state. This is huge for the Democratic Party because it means they are only two seats away from being the majority in congress.

According to CNN, “A Democrat hadn't won a Senate race in the state since 1992.”

Polls had shown Jones and Moore practically tied for the senate seat, but due to Moore accusations on sexual assaulting 9 woman when they were teenagers, might have costed him the seat in senate.

Although Moore denied the allegations, this may be a huge reason why he lost the race...after all it's highly unlikely all the women are lying.

Moore claims, “These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democratic Party and the Washington Post on this campaign”(Washington Post).

On the bright side, although Moore cannot go to court, because the assaults happened years ago, at least he did not win. Not just the senate race, but the battle. Woman will not sit back and bite their lips, we will stick up for ourselves and fight until we get the justice we deserve.

Congratulations Doug Jones, and as for Roy Moore… I hope you get what you deserve.

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.
