You've heard it a thousand times before, this election is an important one. And it is. But what makes it so important? Aren't all our presidential elections important? This election is probably one of the most important presidential election in history because our country is going down. Right now, our country is in a really bad place. Our country is trillions of dollars in debt and is almost to the point of no return, if it isn't already.

This election is a chance for us to step it up. And whoever wins affects the government and the country in more ways than you think. This election is a chance for us to reverse all the horrible things that have been done. This election can decide whether or not our country goes to war. This election can be the deciding factor in whether or not we defend ourselves against terrorism, or whether we sit back and watch it happen. This election is the fine line between a war against religion.

If you're not worried already, you should be.

This election is way too important to not vote.

I get it, you don't like how the election is going so far, you don't like the candidates. But this is about the country's future, not about your hate or dislike for the people running. As much as you don't want to choose “the lesser of the two evils” you have to.

You have to chose whomever you think will do a good job in pushing the agenda you want. You have to chose who you think is best to turn the country around aand mold it to how you like. Though you may not think you have the best options, you can't sit by and not take choose because not choosing can be more damaging to our country than choosing the one you see as better.

No candidate is perfect, they are just human.

So stop pouting that your favorite candidate didn't win in the primary election, and take action to make the country a better place.

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.
