The evilest time of year is among us! What villain doesn't love a good scare? Growing up watching Disney movies, I learned a lot. Most of the main storylines involved rescuing princesses, learning you could fly, or learning that you can simply do or be anything. But as I grew older I almost looked at the villains, or bad guys, of the story to see what they could teach me. These are their stories and what we can take from them.

1. Ursula from "The Little Mermaid"

Being two-faced doesn't get you anywhere.

2. Cruella de Vil from "101 Dalmatians"

Be nice to puppies, and all animals in general.

3. Scar from "The Lion King"

Your past can come back to haunt you. #LongLivetheKing

4. Captian Hook from "Peter Pan"

We all have fears...tick tock, tick tock.

5. The Evil Queen from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"

An apple a day... if it's not sketch.

6. Jafar from "Aladdin"

Be careful what you wish for.

7. Sid from "Toy Story"

Kids can be evil.

8. Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast"

Always shoot for the best.

9. Hades from "Hercules"

Don't mess with the "Big Man Upstairs."

10. Mother Gothel from "Tangled"

Mother knows best, always.

11. The Queen of Hearts from "Alice in Wonderland"

Don't let power go to your head.

12. The Shadow Man from "The Princess and the Frog"

Don't make deals with the devil.

13. King Louie from "The Jungle Book"

Don't play with fire.

14. Yzma from "The Emperor's New Groove"

Don't rely on others to do your dirty work. They might get sidetracked and talk to squirrels.

15. Edgar from "The Aristocats"

Never try to get rid of the family pet.

16. Madame Medusa from "The Rescuers"

Always look fierce and keep looking for the Devil's Eye.

17. Frollo from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

If she's not into you, get over it, don't burn down half of Paris over it.

18. The Sanderson Sisters from "Hocus Pocus"

Keep trying, even if it takes 300 hundred years. Oh, and sisterly love.

19. Hans from "Frozen"

Don't come between siblings.

20. The Evil Stepmother/Lady Tremaine from "Cinderella"

Pets are loyal. And don't try to cover up your mistakes.


So even though they are wicked in their ways, we can still look to them as role models...kind of. Thanks, to villains and all you spooky bad guys!

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.

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.
