Get Your Gun And Run
Lexis Twentier

Growing up, females are constantly reminded to defend themselves. When they are old enough, a brother, father, uncle, or grandpa takes us out to shoot guns. When we turn 21, we're told to get a permit to carry. But why just females? We is it that females are the only ones told to learn how to defend themselves? Why is it that guys are never told "learn how to defend yourself" or "go buy a gun and get a permit to carry when you are 21?" Why?

There are males out there that will just as easily attack another male instead of a female. Protect yourself, guys. What happens when you're walking alone at night and 2 or 3 strong, muscular, mean guys stop you? You can try to fight them, but it may not end well if it's a 3-1 situation. Protect yourself. It doesn't make you any less of a man if you're a concealed carrier. Actually, I can assure you that us females will feel safer knowing you have a gun if we go out or are just walking or driving down the world.

Males aren't the only people that attack in groups. Reality check, females travel in groups, too. Females are mean and violent, too. Females are attackers and perpetrators, too. Protect yourselves, guys. If you're a permitted carrier and 3 or 4 women come up behind you when you're alone and begin to attack you, what are you going to do? Sure, once again, you can fight them, but it will be hard in a 4-1 scenario. Protect yourself, carry a gun. Sure, maybe it's unethical to shoot a woman, but it's not illegal if it's in self-defense. I'm not saying you need to try to kill every male or female in your sight, I'm just saying it's better safe than sorry. Females are attackers, too, remember that.

If you're 21, protect yourself. Make yourself a concealed carrier. Practice shooting. Learn how to use a small gun that you can easily hide. Be smart. Be aware. Get your gun and run.

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.
