When I was little, I watched the Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan, Star Wars movies and they were a complicated mess of backward misunderstandings to 5-year-old me. They were not only entertaining but sophisticated. I’m no fanatic, but these movies have all fallen into their place within my mind slowly as I've grown up Now I can comprehend the complexity and depth behind the original six. These original movies attracted a large viewing, along with a niche audience who loved the fantasy of an intergalactic war tale.

The new Star Wars is something different — Its Disney-fied and unsophisticated nature surely does not live up to the Star Wars legacy but presents a different opportunity. An opportunity for kids and adults of all ages to experience the greatest creation of the Star Wars world: Porgs.

The Star Wars movies threw some cute new creatures at us. We still have Chewy, but he gets annoyed with the porgs too easily.


Sadly, these creatures beat out the previous favorite, the Ewok. They still come in close second.

All of R2D2 and BB8's beeps and bops are pretty cute, but they just aren't as furry and cuddly as the other guys.


People are loving the porg. I must warn you, if you're bringing your kids to see "The Last Jedi," they WILL ask you for a porg stuffed animal. I'm 20 and I want one for Christmas.


They are a new fad, a new obsession for all Star Wars viewers alike.


Even though they're only in a few scenes, you honestly just can't help but fall in love with them.

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.
