Maroon 5's newest music video to 'Girls Like You' only came out 2 weeks ago and yet it already has 158 million views. They are known for their unique music videos, such as crashing weddings during their hit, 'Sugar'. However, 'Girls Like You' has already scored million's of people's hearts, especially mine. And here is why.

This music video is known for showcasing many popular female celebrities, journalists, models, and activists, from popular talk show host Ellen Degeneres to Olympic gymnast Ally Raisman. Of course, lead singer Adam Levine even included his wife, Behati Prinsloo. Before watching this video, one would expect all of the featured women to look the same: white skin, blonde hair, skinny, and supermodel-like. I felt the same as well- 'ANOTHER video with the same looking women?' Maroon 5 definitely exceeded my expectations.

'Girls Like You' includes women of ALL races, religions, sizes, and looks. It's so important that everyone sees how much we need diversity, and argues that all women are beautiful. When I looked at all of these women, I saw nothing but pure beauty, and couldn't help but think 'Oh my gosh, she's so gorgeous. I wish I had the confidence she has'.

We need to realize that all women are beautiful. Race, religion, etc. don't matter. Frankly, I applaud Maroon 5 for the decision to include a variety of women, not just the typical women. I believe that more diversity=more power. No matter who we are, we have the ability to change the world and ourselves. All women are strong regardless of the way we look. All women must work together to make a change, to make a difference.

As women, we can not let others look down on us. As shown by all the women featured in the video, they have all been successful. Some are well-known activists. Some are famous comedians. A few are popular authors. Women aren't meant to stay at home to take care of their children and wash the dishes. Women are meant to put themselves out there and show they world what they've got. Women are more powerful than one may think, and this video shows just that.

This is why Maroon 5 made my heart melt. That's another point for them in my book.

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.
