To put it nicely, 2016 was a strange year. One filled with tragedy, comedy, and overall very strange events. Of course, we could always count on the internet to take these events to the next level. Here are some of the most memorable:

1. Dabbing.

Cam Newton started it and the world followed.

2. Mannequin challenge.

Ahh, the Harlem Shake of 2016, because why wouldn't standing in a group of people holding an awkward position for a long time be fun?

3. Harambe.

The death of Harambe brought about a lot of backlash from the internet and quite a lot of memes.

4. The 2016 Election in general.

The 2016 election seemed to be the only thing being talked about and the internet played a huge role in that.

5. Joe Biden Memes.

Trump's win in the 2016 election brought some rather funny and kinda adorable Joe Biden memes. Proving once again, this is one of the silliest VPs of all time.


6. Michael Phelps Memes.

The Olympics were amazing and so is this face that Michael Phelps made that took the internet by storm.


7. Evil Kermit Memes.

This image of Evil Kermit brought about a sensation of internet memes that were not only funny, but also oh so relatable.

8. Pokemon Go.

To be honest, I'm still not sure what it is, but I do know that the internet was obsessed with it and I saw multitudes of people walking around/ running trying to catch their pokemon.

2016 was a strange year. Sure, it had its funny moments, but Im happy to say goodbye 2016 and hello to 2017 and all of its internet sensations.

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.
