Dear Facebook,

Never before in my life have I seen so much hate between people. Thanks to Facebook, all of you feel like you can scream at each other with no consequences simply because you are protected through your computer screen. I hope you've all realized that you aren't protected, or that you've actually hurt people through all this election crap.

I think I've seen all ends of it.

"How could you vote for this person?? I am seriously offended that you would vote for this person when you know me personally and know what my beliefs are. We can no longer be friends!"

"Don't worry Women, someday we will get that bully out of office and show our daughters that they can become president!"

"How could you pick someone so Racist and evil?"

"You voted for Hilary? She murders babies!"

"I'm from Mexico, how dare you vote for Trump!"

"Not trusting our president is the worst thing you Americans can do!"

Though many of these Facebook posts have made me laugh, I kind of want everyone to just take a step back and think for a moment. I'm pretty sure that whoever voted for trump did not think "Hey, I like sexual assaults. I'm racist. I'm gonna vote for Trump!" and I don't think people who voted for Hilary were thinking "I hate babies, I want a liar for a president, I'm going to vote for Hilary!"

I really don't think anyone was thinking that. Everyone voted for who they felt would do the best job as president. I'm sure not everyone agreed with every single idea that their candidate presented, but they agreed with some of their ideas and decided that was best for their vote. I don't think anyone voted to hurt someone else.

I don't think most of the rumors spread about Trump and Hilary are true. Trump will say one thing, the media will twist and warp that until it's a dead beaten dog. Hilary will present one idea and the media will turn her into a blood sucking demon.

This blood bath is kind of ridiculous. Can't we go back to the days when we voted, and then we all kept quiet about who we voted for and supported whatever we ended up with? Because if a country is going to function, we all need to unite. Oh yeah, that's right, that never happened.

I understand that we all want to state our opinions. That is fine. I also know that all of our parents/teachers have trained us to approach our opinions with research, maturity and thoughtfulness. You are not looking to stab people with your opinions. You are looking to state an opinion you have with understanding and tactfulness.

So, next time you are thinking about posting your opinion, make sure you are being tactful and inspirational. Be careful with your words.

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.
