Election Night As Told By Parks & Rec

Election night happened las week and now people are left feeling a lot of emotions all at once. This was a really important election, and no matter which way it went, people would have been upset. Now Donald Trump is our President Elect and that has left a large portion of the population, including me, looking back at election night and wondering what happened.

1. When it looked like Hillary was winning the electoral college at first.

2. And then Trump started gaining more votes.

3. So you prepare yourself to stay up all night to see who really wins.

4. And you tell yourself not to freak out because there isn't a final answer yet.

5. You catch yourself wishing you could go back to when you were younger and knew nothing about politics.

6. Then you remember this is an important election and you're happy to have been a part of it, even though it isn't looking good.

7. You wonder how so many people could support Trump and want him as the president.

8. You wonder if maybe this is all a dream.

9. The votes keep coming in and Trump keeps getting more votes from the electoral college.

10. He gets the 270 necessary votes to win.

11. And you text all of your friends, asking them what to do now. What comes next?

But you tell yourself, that no matter what everything is going to be okay. The sun will still shine, puppies will still be cute, and love will always trump hate.

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.

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.
