How I Feel About This Presidential Election
E & T News

Everyone knows the two infamous candidates running for POTUS; Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Now whoever you support...I try not to judge. However, sometimes it feels that this presidential race is an insult to our intelligence. We have the honor to chose between a candidate who is a full blown sexist and racist or we can chose the candidate who sends illegal e-mails with confidential information and lies through her teeth. Now, some of us have contemplated moving to Canada or simply not voting all together. I wish I could move to Canada, but lets be honest...we won't do that. In stressful times like these, I wish I could vote for someone who truly deserves it: Leslie Knope.

Leslie Knope knows what's truly important in life: hard work, friends and waffles . Need I say more?

Now you might not be political at all, and that's OK. You can be like Samantha from Sex and the City. You can just accept that this race for POTUS has gone down the toilet. Try to keep the glass half full like she does.


Or you can just give up on hope with the next four years all together. Because when you see open Trump supporters who believe he's "unconventional" and can "make America great again" you want to scream. You also question the sanity and the IQ of those people and want to burn every Trump sticker and sign you see.

And the thought of Hillary becoming POTUS makes you cringe because she literally lies through her teeth about her "secret" e-mails and the Benghazi terrorist attack. Not to mention her stance on gay marriage and how she "conveniently" became a supporter after the Supreme Court ruling when she was clearly against it from the beginning...

So you immediately research any other possible candidates that you could chose from...because these two candidates are just the cream of the crop. *sigh*


But then you realize that it's a slim chance that they will even win and you realize that we're doomed and you wonder what will happen to us. Will we have a giant wall? Will we ban Muslims? Will we allow a pathological liar and hypocrite to speak for us?

So you look for any other possible candidates or options...and you wonder if Lil' Sebastian can run for president.

So you hide under your blanket and pray for a miracle.

Now I don't know about you, but I plan to hide under my bed and pray for a miracle. But in all seriousness, whoever wins in this election we just need to remember that it's very difficult for a POTUS to make a significant difference in 4 years. Yes, we don't have any good candidates running but for us die-hard Sander's supporters...there's always next year.

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.
