7 Things I'll Be Doing On Election Night

No matter what your party preference is, you have to admit that this year's election is definitely going down in history for many reasons. It has surely been the most "entertaining" election year, between the political campaigns, the drama, and the fights. It also has some very controversial and interesting candidates that have caused many people to ponder and worry about the future of our country no matter who gets elected. I, along with a good majority of America (I'm guessing), am ready for this election to just be over with already. So, this is how I will be spending my election night. Who's with me?

(Note: most of this article is satirical)

1. Drinking a bottle of wine

And if you're not a wine kind of person, grab your own drink of choice. You're going to need it on election night. I know I will!

2. Wearing black

I will be mourning the loss of our country's sanity by wearing black that night. RIP America. Just kidding...kind of.

3. Celebrating the end of political ads

I might be mourning the loss of sanity in our country, but I'll also be celebrating the fact that political ads will finally be off my screen. I think everyone can join together, no matter what party each of us might be affiliated with, in celebrating that blessing. Finally ads about potato chips and kitchen appliances will be back on TV.

4. Probably crying a bit

Still not sure if they will be happy tears, sad tears, or angry tears, but crying will probably happen. To be fair, it'll probably mainly be happy tears at the fact that this election is finally over and I won't have to see another political ad.

5. Googling the best countries to live in

Because after this election, it might be a good idea to just give America a break and get out while you can. Maybe I'll do a little traveling and experience another culture for a bit. I'll preferably find one that isn't going through a chaotic government change as well, so I guess the UK is out of the mix because of Brexit. Darn. Canada has always seemed like a happy country....

6. Starting to pack my things

I'll just start packing on election night as well. Get that done early so I'm ready to go whenever the new president is announced and people start going crazy. The faster I can save myself from the chaos the better.

7. Searching for a flight

Need to get a head start on this as well. I'm sure I won't be the only one ready to flee the country, so I'll need to book my flight early before they sell out. Just thinking ahead on this one. Peace out America; see you in four years when you (hopefully) learn how to pick better candidates.

In all seriousness, this election was just a roller coaster of emotions and, for lack of better word, a bit of a s*** show, but it is still important to get your voice out there, express your right as an American, and vote on November 8.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
