My opinion on this weekends events.

Call me naive, call me stupid, call me anti feminist, or racist, or whatever else you've been saying I am because I support Donald Trump, but for real I am a little confused.

Why protest the Inauguration? What is that doing for you other than creating a scene and promoting the violence that you claim you are so very afraid of? Those were not peacefully protests, they were violent and dangerous and honestly, completely unnecessary. I really would like to know what protesting the Inauguration was going to do? Not get your candidate elected, not even shifting the votes a little. Pretty much it seems to me that it did nothing. It is completely your right and you should have that, but to me it seems it was just a big way to show that you won't accept the facts of the election. You can't accept the fact that your side didn't win, and you're acting like a cry baby. Sorry but that's truly how it looks. You weren't going around preaching and protesting for a good cause, you were being violent and hateful because you don't like the outcome of the election. To me that doesn't make a lot of sense.

The next thing that confuses me is the women's march. Now before you jump down my throat and try and tell me why you marched let me explain. There is a march every year, however it is not now. It was only now in January because of the new president. In my opinion it seems that you used your normally, smart protest to make it about something else. In fact it doesn't seem to me that this march did anything for women's rights at all. It became something for the media to talk about, and another way to protest Donald Trump. The women's march isn't supposed to be about that. Isn't it supposed to be about demanding equal rights for women? By using your protest to push hate towards Donald Trump, all you're doing is that, promoting hate. You should have left well enough alone and had the march when it normally is: on International Women's Day, that to me would've made a bigger statement. I'm not saying don't march, if you want to good for you, but don't take the platform that was supposed to be for a good cause, and use it to be against something else. That is what doesn't make sense to me.

And lastly every person in the United States officially has a new president. You can say "not my president" all you want but until you move out of this country, he is a representative for the place you live and the people in that place. Rioting and protesting against him just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it's because i've been a Donald Trump supporter for pretty much the entire election, but maybe it's also because I think this country deserves another fair chance.

I think it's time we all hope for a great country, and maybe stand behind our new president because for the next four years, he is OUR representative. Think about that when you want to protest.

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.
