A Few Reasons Why Seagulls Should Go Extinct
Ashlyn Edmondo

As I've been sitting and enjoying myself by the hotel pool here in San Diego for my cousin's wedding, I've had a few menacing visitors! The seagulls just never stop. They're everywhere, bugging and stealing and "mine,mine, mine-ing" (for those of you who have seen finding nemo)! I discussed with my cousins some reasons why seagulls should just go extinct!


1. They steal sunscreen.

Talking to my cousin, she told me she had a seagull steal her sunscreen right out of her hands!


2. They are just plain aggressive birds!

Seagulls will do anything for a bite of food or to steal something. Watch out, they'll bite you!


3. They live in places that aren't even the sea.

For my devout followers, you know I live close to Lake Tahoe, and seagulls are residents of Lake Tahoe as well! Darn birds ruining our mountain lake!


4. They poop on you.

This one is pretty self explanatory for all birds. They poop like any other animal, but for Seagulls, I think it is intentional!


5. They aren't afraid of humans.

Seagulls will walk up to any of us humans and strike up a conversation like we're old friends! You may try to shoo it away, but that never seems to work!


6. They steal breadsticks straight out of your hand.

My family and I were at the San Diego zoo years back and my sister had a breadstick in her hand while up on my dads shoulders. A seagull dive bombed and swiped the breadstick right out of her hand! Lesson learned, don't eat breadsticks on dad's shoulders!


7. They were perfectly portrayed in finding Nemo.

Whenever anyone sees a seagull they say, "mine!"


8. They have seagull telepathy.

When there's food or people on a beach with food, they swarm. They jump you like some kind of seagull gang!


9. They stare into your soul.

Seagulls want to make sure you know that they are the superior species, but that is not the case.

Seagulls are a menace to society and bug the human race. I know wishing extinction on an animal is harsh, but man, seagulls are awful!

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.
