You are the most important voter.

Why You Need To Vote, Explained By Your Favorite '90s Cartoons

On Tuesday, the whole world is going to be like Johnny Bravo. There will be millions of different voters from all corners of the U.S., but there is only one type of important voter: you. Election Day is upon us and it is our duty to vote. Whether you're favoring a candidate based on who you think will destroy the country less, who is a more decent human being, or even who is cuter, it doesn't matter; all that counts is that you vote. According to the Pew Research Center, the millennial population matches the Baby Boomers as the largest generation in the U.S. electorate. This means that the majority of voters are people ages 18-35. The question is: will they vote?

Because millennials grew up with arguably the best cartoon shows on television ever, I have gathered some of our favorite childhood friends to help me explain why you need to vote.

Before you vote, it's important not to let the media dictate what you think. Your Facebook friends, the news, social media: they're all biased. This is a really great article that breaks down bias in the news. Watch the debates and read trustworthy news pieces to form your own opinion. If you let the media overwhelm you like Deedee overwhelms Dexter...

...you may end up like Rocko and his friends.

Voting isn't lame. Voting isn't stupid. However, it is anonymous. You don't have to tell anyone who you voted for if you don't want to. You don't even have to tell anyone you voted if that's what you're afraid of. Just go do it! Don't worry about your friends who think it's not important or uncool.

We all need to be a part of this process, not just millennials. The citizens of the U.S. may have more power to change the state of affairs more than the actual President, but that change can't start properly if we don't all vote. This isn't about voting for the better candidate, it's about getting your vote out there, because every say counts, every voice matters. We all need to be a part of something as organized and powerful like

The election is majorly centered around the debate, "Which candidate is better?" While that's fair because the country should decide as a democracy who is better suited and qualified to run our country for four plus years, but where will we end up if we act like Beavis and Butthead? Probably on the floor drooling over ourselves and each other.

So if you need to get dolled up...

...or you need to smack yourself around a little bit...

...and whether you're voting for...

...or you're voting for...

...just get out there and vote! If you don't vote, we may all end up like Chuckie...

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.
