One of my favorite animated shows of all time is a mini series from cartoon network called Over the Garden Wall. If anyone asks me for recommendations for something to watch, that is usually my very first suggestion. I'm hoping that more people will be willing to give this wonderful series a try.

1. It's very unique, but also reminds you of the stories you loved as a kid.

The series is about two brothers, Wirt and Greg, who end up lost in the woods (Called "The unknown") trying to find their way home, encountering a variety of characters on the way.

Just reading the summary, it sounds like a story that has been used, but it is actually very unique. It also has the feel of a lot of the old fairy tales that I read as a kid.

2. The Music.

The music is probably one of my favorite parts of the series. It's inspired by a variety of different genres, from folk music to opera. And it all fits in to the scenes it accompanies very well. Not to mention some songs will be stuck in your head for weeks to come.

3. It can be watched within a day.

Since the series is only ten short episodes long, it can be watched straight through like a movie. So if you're busy and don't have a lot of time because of all that homework you put off, the show can easily be added in to a movie night schedule.

And while I, like many fans, consider the show to be a favorite to watch in the fall. You can watch it whenever you want. Who's going to stop you?

4. The show can be lighthearted at moments, but can also be scary at moments.


Not sure if you want to watch a horror movie, or something fantasy? Over the Garden Wall has elements from both. Which makes it perfect to add to your "fun things to watch with friends." collection. Or your Halloween collection.

5. The voice actors

All I need to say here: Elijah Wood, and Christopher Lloyd are voice actors for this series.

I cannot think of enough ways to put "this series is awesome" into words. I already have talked nonstop to friends about it, trying to get them to sit down and watch it with me.

I'm hoping that more people will experience this amazing story too.

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.
