My Top 5 Most Influential TV Shows

Being the TV/movie lover that I am I have a very long list of TV shows that have blown me away, but that's for another time. These are some of the TV shows that taught me valuable lessons while simultaneously capturing my attention and forcing me to get invested with each character. Of course, you may have different opinions for each of them, these are just my personal experiences with each show.

Game Of Thrones

Giphy

Revenge. Power. Love. This incredible series teaches you how the people you love the most may not be who you thought they were. It shows how anyone is able to change if they want to. Though this takes place in a completely different time period it addresses many topics that relate back to our society. It shows that anyone can become a hero or a villain. The show does a great job of getting you attached to characters who develop throughout the series. I have to say that not only is this one of my favorite shows but it also taught me how to be a strong, opinionated individual.

Grey’s Anatomy

Giphy

This show tackles a lot of issues in my opinion. Not only does it deal a lot with mental health issues but it also shows the audience that everyone has problems in their life and the only way to get through it is to have a good support system. This is one of the shows that I have found myself continually crying. The series does a great job of giving you different perspectives of all the characters' lives while still only focusing on one character. You also get attached to the characters very easily because the show makes you feel as if you were living the life of the character. This show may not appeal to everyone, but if you get the opportunity to watch it I would suggest doing so.

American Horror Story

Giphy

American Horror Story is one of the first shows that was impactful on me at a young age. It tackles issues like bullying, mental illness, and self-worth. Also, each season is a different storyline meaning that you never get bored. On top of that, it's a horror show so you're always on your toes wondering what's gonna happen next.

Orange Is The New Black

Giphy

This is also one of the shows that were a tearjerker. Orange Is The New Black also tackles some of the issues that we are facing in our society. The show taught me that you shouldn't judge someone by what they have done or looked like.

New Girl

Giphy

New Girl is always seen as a comedy but in my opinion, it's a little more than that. This series shows what true family is while following the lives of roommates. It shows that just because you aren't related to someone doesn't mean that they aren't family. Similar to Grey's Anatomy this series shows that even if you are going through a rough time you will get through it with a support system.

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.
