I've never really considered myself a feminist or anything like that, but I definitely do believe in women having the same rights as men. More importantly, when a woman is successful I don't think her success should be taken away by comparing her to a man.

I'm sure we're all familiar with UCONN's women basketball program by now after having a 107 game winning streak. As of March 5th, it's been 841 days since they've lost a game and they've had 104 double-digit wins during that streak. INSANE! A major contributer to that success is known by the name Katie Lou Samuelson. In their 107th win against South Florida for the AAC crown, she went off for an astounding 40 points and went 10 for 10 from the 3-point line. In an NCAA article, they state that only 1 Div. I men's player has done that, and NO NBA player has ever achieved this feat. Not comparing the different players, just stating what an accomplishment it is for her and how hard it is to achieve.

Well it didn't take long for Twitter haters to start bashing her and women's basketball with some crude comments sexualizing her and taking away her accomplishments by saying the only reason she could do it is because women's basketball is so much easier than men's. "In no way or chance could she have done this on her own because she doesn't have skills." *said in a sarcastic voice*


It literally blows my mind that people have the audacity to say some of the things they do. In celebration of International Women's Day (a couple days late), I'd like to congratulate you Katie Lou on quite an accomplishment. Girls, never let boys take away what you've done because they're immature, keep doing you!

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.
