Sending A Message Through Music

In the midst of all the election craziness, one college student saw an opportunity to get his message out in the best way that he knew how: through music.

There is no doubt that this is an election that will be remembered for generations. In my opinion, it is one of the most crucial elections of our time. With two candidates that are both widely criticized (of course, one more than the other), the emphasis has not been put on who to vote for, but just to vote. It is our privilege and duty as Americans to exercise our right to elect a leader who will continue to build upon the progress we have already made. That can only happen if we vote.

I’m sure each of you have heard countless ads and seen endless commercials about going out and getting your vote on. If I have learned anything about being a millennial, it’s that it is very difficult to grab our attention, especially when it comes to less exciting topics like politics. Campaigners can give us as many fliers as they want, but odds are not all of us young people are going to listen. In the midst of all the election craziness, one college student saw an opportunity to get his message out in the best way that he knew how: through music.

If you walk around any college campus in America, you will see students with their headphones in walking to class and listening to music while they study. Most young people are constantly listening to music, live or otherwise. We respond to the sound and the lyrics. So it was easy for this Central Florida student to realize that if he made a song about the election, more people might actually listen. He utilized his musical talent and the convenience of social media to share his message. And that’s all he wanted to do—share his message. He believes so strongly that one candidate will try to dictate our freedom and send us back in time, disregarding any progress that we have made as a country. With the election coming up in a few days, this is a final plea to show everyone why this candidate cannot be elected. If you are still unsure of who to vote for, or if you are debating whether to even vote at all, watch his music video and share it on as many platforms as possible. I hope it will help you make a decision to not let our country fall into the wrong hands.

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.
