I know I write a lot about TV shows, but that's kind of all I've been doing this summer: watching TV shows and movies because I hate the outdoors. Is that a bad thing? Maybe. But bugs have never been my friend and I get sunburnt walking from my house to my car, so I choose to hide from the heat and the sun and watch TV.

Also, please note, these shows are relatively popular so you might've already seen them, but just roll with it.

1. The Office

Giphy

Classic. Everyone loves Michael Scott, Jim and Pam's epic love, Dwight being Dwight, all of it. If you don't, you're wrong. There's honestly nothing bad I can say about this show, it's a true blessing of life.

2. Grey's Anatomy

Giphy

This show is literally 15 seasons long, 20-25 episodes a season, and each episode is 45 minutes long. Is it the best binge of all time? Most definitely. I'm actually watching it right now because I've seen every episode twice and I need some background noise that I know. The character developments, deaths, realism and complete and total unrealisms make this show the perfect mess it is.

3. Gossip Girl

Giphy

Blake Lively is a queen and always has been, but Blair Waldorf wears the crown in this show (yes I'm using the gif as a reference, deal). This is the most unrealistic show that has ever happened that isn't science fiction. Even still, I love every second of it. The romance, the drama, the betrayal, ALL OF IT. It's not for everyone, and the ending sucks horribly, but I still love it.

4. Gilmore Girls

Giphy

Honestly this is my favorite show of all time, and nothing will ever top it. The relationship Lorelai and Rory have is LITERALLY my exact relationship with my mom (shoutout to my favorite person, my mom). The sarcasm and coffee obsession is too real. Amy Sherman-Palladino is amazing and I will never love a show more than this.

5. Stranger Things

Giphy

There's a lot of hype for this show so I'll keep it brief: the hype is right. Watch it.

6. The Vampire Diaries

Giphy

There are a lot of gore, relatively horrible character development and teenage angst, but this show is pretty great. It reigns you in with the romance and keeps you there with the ultra-attractive villains. No shame.

7. Parks And Recreation

Giphy

Some people call this show a bad spin-off of The Office which I find completely wrong and offensive. Leslie Knope is an inspiration and is 10000x better than Michael Scoot, no matter how much I love him. They have similar story plots, sure, but they couldn't be any more different.

8. Reign

Giphy

Can we just start off saying historical fiction is dope? Cause it is. Also, Anne Of Green Gables plays Catherine, AKA the psychopathic, poison creating, queen mother who I adore, no matter how insane she is. There's only 4 seasons so it's a quick binge, but it's totally worth it. AND you learn a few things about Mary queen of Scots. DOPE.

Netflix is a true gem of life.

That is all, Ben Wyatt (Parks and Rec) out.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
