A Letter To The Carolina Panthers

Dear Panthers,

What is going on?

I am not going to sugar coat it. It is hard to be a fan right now.

I know people try to keep giving you of the benefit of the doubt since our amazing season last year, but enough is enough.

You are horrible. You are playing horribly. You look horrible on the field.

I don't know what is going on in the locker room but here is what someone needs to tell you:

Just because you had one phenomenal season, doesn't give you a pass to not play actual football. You aren't the golden boys of the NFL anymore. Stop holding on to some hope that maybe you will be good. You aren't good. So own it and start trying to get better.

Cam, you make a mistake and you act like its the end of the world. You let one mistake ruin a game. Move on. Just get better. The whole team feeds off of you so when you check out of the game, so do the rest. So stop bringing the whole team down when you are down. If you are the captain of the team, act like it. Suck it up and put on a good attitude and be positive.

Obviously, us fans will keep pounding and support you regardless. That being said, you should know how hard it is to be a fan right now. Every game I think we may pull something off and win, the 4th quarter hits.

I don't know when this 4th Quarter Curse hit us, but it is real. How we manage to lose a double-digit lead in the 4th quarter, I don't know, I can't explain it. A football game has 4 quarters, not 3. That means you actually have to play football for 4 quarters, not just 3. You are getting paid to play for 4 quarters, not 3. So don't just shut down.

Look, I love you. I love Panther Season. I love Panther Nation. I love how it brings my town together. I love how I can walk into a restaurant on Sunday and everyone is wearing Panthers gear. I love everything about you, but I really hate watching you right now.

You aren't playing like I know you can. You aren't THE Panthers that I have grown to love. So, I will keep hoping and keep watching and keep pounding. But I really dread watching you every Sunday. So get it together.

xoxo,

Sara Wilder

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.
