I love "Riverdale," if your reading this article, you probably do as well. In just a little bit of time, we'll be reunited with Pop's, Sweetwater River and all our friends from the town with pep.

1. "Chapter Three: Body Double" (Season 1, Episode 3)

Riverdale hit the ground running with its first two episodes, but the third episode is where the show really comes into its own. Betty and Veronica team up to expose the underworld of slut shaming at Riverdale High and officially solidifying B & V. The episode gives us so much, Ethel Muggs (Barb from Stranger Things!), Dark Betty, Cheryl and Betty burning things in a trash can. And Archie working on his music. . . cool.

2. Heart of Darkness "Chapter Five: Heart of Darkness" (Season 1, Episode 5) 

One thing that makes Riverdale so special, is how many genres the show is able to take on. In episode five, through Cheryl Blossom, Riverdale becomes its own gothic horror. By episode five, it becomes clear that while Riverdale may be based on the Archie comics, the stories of Cheryl, Veronica, Jughead, and Betty, were the heart of the show. We also meet Nana Blossom for the first time in the most spectacularly creepy way.

3. "Chapter Thirteen: The Sweet Hereafter" (Season 1, Episode 13) 

Riverdale ended its first season on the ultimate Cliff-hanger (get it?). The show solves Jason's death and opens a door to a slew of new problems and the Black Hood.

4. "Chapter Twenty: Tales From The Darkside" (Season Two, Episode 7)

In my opinion, "Tales from the Darkside" is the best episode of Riverdale to date. The episode is three stories in one, the tension-filled horror movie of Archie and Jughead, the slasher killer nightmare of Josie and Cheryl, and the fun buddy comedy of Betty and Veronica. Even if you don't watch the whole episode, watch the hilariously awkward scene between Sheriff Keller and Veronica.

5. "Chapter Thirty Four: Judgement Night" (Season 2, Episode 21) 

Riverdale's second season had highs and quite a few lows, but the penultimate episode is a tension-filled riot, that never gives the viewer a chance to breathe. Resulting in a great ending and Lochlyn Munro saying grandpappy multiple times.

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.
