5 Podcasts you need to be listening to right now

With summer now in full swing, it's getting to the point where some of us need a little something new to get into over break. Recently, I've started listening to podcasts and I truly cannot get enough. They're incredibly engaging and a lot more entertaining than just listening to music all of the time. Whether you're working out, chilling at the beach or going hard at your exciting new internship, they're the perfect aid to keep you occupied. There's something for literally anyone, but here are a few of my favorites to get you started.

1. Anna Faris is Unqualified

You may know her from Scary Movie 1, 2, 3 and 4 or House Bunny, but this podcast shows a completely different side of her. She has a celebrity guest every week and answers advice questions from her listeners. It's incredibly funny and provides an unseen perspective on life in Hollywood.

2. Jenna + Julien Podcast

This is one is Jenna Marbles' podcast with her boyfriend, Julien Solomita. I've been a hardcore Jenna fan since eighth grade probably, so it's really interesting to see (or listen, rather) to her in a more laid back environment. Each week they talk about something completely different and play some pretty hilarious games as well.

3. My Favorite Murder

Any true crime lover will be absolutely obsessed with this one. Each week, Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark talk about a different true crime story or murder that will seriously make your skin crawl. They're super funny and entertaining, but can also seriously freak you out with the crazy stories that they talk about.

4. Pod Save America

This one may not be for everyone, but anyone interested in politics should definitely give it a try. Hosted by four former Obama staffers, this podcast casts a nuanced perspective on current political events. They're genuinely dedicated to their cause and are incredibly engaging.

5. Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard

I've just started listening to this one, so I don't know much about it yet, but from what I've heard so far, Dax Shepard is a very interesting character to listen to who is literally overflowing with interesting stories. His first episode is with his wife, Kristen Bell, and if you love them together as much as I do, you'll be a fan for sure.

There's so much more out there, so get exploring! You can find these on the iTunes podcast app, Spotify or various other apps that can easily be downloaded from the App or Play Store. So get listening!

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.
