What We Can ALL Do, To Help Prevent The Spread Of Corona

If you are going out, resuming life as normal, vacationing and hanging out consistently with friends, you are not doing your part to contain the virus, and you might be putting others around you at a risk to get the virus.

What We Can ALL Do, To Help Prevent The Spread Of Corona

Everyone knows about Corona, but not everyone is taking it as seriously as they should. This is not a bashing-my-generation session, but at the same time it is.

Yes, if you are a healthy twenty-year-old, Corona will probably not affect you much. Yes, you might get a headache and some flu-like symptoms, but you will most likely live. Yes, if you are a healthy twenty-year-old, you might not even show any symptoms. But, disclaimed: THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CANNOT PASS THE ILLNESS TO OTHERS IN A HIGH-RISK GROUP. If you are going out, resuming life as normal, vacationing and hanging out consistently with friends, you are not doing your part to contain the virus, and you might be putting others around you at a risk to get the virus.

Do not forget that we are in a pandemic right now!! We might not want to see it as such, but we are, and we can help solve the problem by self-quaratining and doing our part to help with the virus control, even if it looks like we are 100% healthy. It is ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry, and when we are talking about a virus that is quite literally KILLING people all around the world, it is selfish to not be safe.

Yes, I know you miss your friends. Yes, I know that you want to go on that trip to Mexico that you spent so much money on...but we are in a CRISIS. Even Trump, who doesn't even believe in global warming, has said so! If you are going out and resuming your regular life, not washing your hands extra and going to crowded spaces instead of social distancing, you are a part of the problem. Period.

With that being said, I hope that everyone is staying safe during this incredibly scary time in our history. Wash your hands, avoid touching your face, make sure you are getting rest, stay healthy and as happy as we can. Make sure to preserve your mental health during this time by connecting with friends and family through technological outlets, and picking up on hobbies that life has forced you to put down.

And with that being said,

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
