I don't think I have ever been so discouraged to log on social media until now. Seriously I log on and it's the same tea,same waist trainer, same teeth whiter. What happen to originality? Not only is the originality gone but people have really forgotten that everyone is suppose to be equal. I don't understand how you steal land and claim you found it. I also don't understand how America can be great again when there was nothing great about it in the first place. All these things and people need to be left in 2016.

I CAN'T deal with Instagram Models- Hunny, I know you gotta make a living so pay your bills, but lord I'm tired of looking at the tea packet so I know you have to be tired of drinking it. I'm tired of the fake, half dressed boutique models wearing clothes that only come in size plastic surgery. I can't with the fake, where is the real?

I CAN'T with the doctor Miami Bodies- I get it, it's a well-made body BUT everyone doesn't have to look like that. I do believe self-esteem plays a huge role which is why we need to remind every woman she is beautiful. Every shape and size are unique and you don't need that now basic hourglass figure. I've got to the point now I don't want to look like that but just be healthy. What happen to lose weight and being healthy about it? There is so much gained mentally when you actually work to lose the weight than just get it sucked out. I'm not bashing the women who go to Dr. Miami but instead hoping to inspire women not to be threatened by the now big-headed women that did. Love yourself girl!

I CAN'T with the 'twerking for the gram' crap- You don't have to be shaking it for everyone to see in order to be valued. So many videos and clips of women lowering themselves to the standards for likes. I can't understand why. I CAN'T!

I CAN'T with the party promoters- Unslide yourself out my dm's I don't care about the hottest party of the year. Please stop posting the line wrapped outside the club when it's all a lie. You know good and well that line is the people waiting to get in because you refuse to open the doors. Why you advertise for "free before 10" but don't open the doors until 9:55? Please miss me with that! I CAN'T

I CAN'T with the Media and how they show BlackLivesMatter- News flash you can't fix senseless killing with senseless killing. I support Black lives on the side of building better communities and stopping racial injustice. The media as always take the bad and blow it up. y'all air .5 percent of the story and give it to the world full of people who think their skin color is a privilege especially to all other countries.

I CANT with the POLICE BRUTALITY- and the people trying to justify it. A lot of people aren't gonna like this but people who don't feel anything towards the hundreds of dying in police hands are sick. People of all races are dying and you literally are saying BUT. Seriously? Really? It's really gonna have to come down to them losing someone to police brutality for it to be a problem in their eyes. This is beyond sad. More people will have to die because they don't see the harm to them. I WILL NOT AND CANNOT!

These are my I CAN'T moments and experiences of 2016. I'm sure some of you can relate so feel free to comment down below with your moments. Let's all vent together.

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.
