Stop Snap Chatting, Posting Stories and Driving. | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

No one's life is more valuable than your snap story, your Instagram story, etc. The fact that you think anyone will think the video of music and it showing you are clearly in the driver's seat is cool, you will find no one. How many times has someone replied to this story? Probably close to 0. Why not take a cool picture of your destination OUT OF THE CAR. Choose to be present when you are driving instead of snapchatting, texting, or whatever else you manage to do.

YOU ARE NOT COOL. You are endangering the lives of every single person around you. Let alone if there are other people in the car with you.

YOU ARE NOT COOL. No one cares about the road signs you are passing, or what song you are listening to. It's not cool to be posting these videos because frankly, no one cares!

YOU LOOK LIKE A FOOL. Honestly anytime I see someone's story or they snapchat me directly while driving I get so mad. I wait until I can clearly see they are safe and are out of their car before I message them and say that they should not be engaging on their phone while driving.

YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN A SNAPCHAT. Honestly, I would much rather you never post anything, never snapchat and be alive then have what you think is a cool story. You are worth more than some 10-second video with a sign or blurred trees. You are worth more than that.

CHOOSE TO BE PRESENT. You cannot multitask. How many times have you looked up from your stupid phone and were inches away from hitting someone? Probably not enough because you continue to engage in this unsafe behavior. You are not cool snpachatting and driving.

CHOOSE TO DRIVE SAFELY AND SNAPCHAT LATER.

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.
