Massachusetts, Thank You For Early Voting

The option is there, go vote!

Massachusetts, Thank You For Early Voting
Wikipedia.com

This time of year, for most of us during the election, is honestly the most stressful. Not only do we have three holidays stacked against us, we also have to worry about getting things in order to go vote for the next president of the United States. In years previous, Massachusetts residents did not have the option to vote early. Now, in 2016, we already have had 250,000 people cast their ballots early and it is honestly incredible.

This is a pretty big deal for us because now everyone can relieve some stress and go vote before election day, November 8th, and avoid the hassle of possible long lines, long waits, and frustration all around. I know that come Wednesday, November 2, which is two days before the last day of early voting, Friday, November 4, I, along with my sister, are going to be voting. I'm excited, and honestly proud because this is the first time my sister is going to be voting. It only took an angry Cheez-It to persuade her.

I wanted to take the time to interrupt my current series on exploring unusual sexual fantasies for just one week to give a special thanks to my home state. Thank you, Massachusetts, not only for early voting, but for many other things as well. I love this place and, even though there has been some evidence of subtle racism, or in your face racism, and bigotry, I love it here.

Other than just saying thank you for providing us with this opportunity to hit the polls early, I want to also leave on this note: if you can, go vote. Go and vote. I cannot emphasize this enough. Just go vote. The option is there, conveniently placed so you can just go down to a town hall or other designated areas to voice your opinion via ballot.

This may be a short article, but I wanted to be able to leave you with important info regarding early voting. Clicking here will redirect you to a helpful tool found on Google. You can find out where you need to go to vote early, the times you can do so, and when this option will be available. It also provides more helpful information on voting and the ballot. Happy voting!

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.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

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.
