Stop What You're Doing And Start Watching "Riverdale"
Jeryl Lippe

Woohoo! After a three week hiatus, Riverdale is back and better than ever!

If you haven't heard of this hit TV series yet, the best way to describe it is as if Gossip Girl and Twin Peaks had a child. Drop whatever it is that you are doing, log onto Netflix, and begin binge-watching. You won't believe what you've been missing! Need some convincing?

1. Drama, drama, and did I forget to mention drama?

If you love shows that revolve around drama, whether it be romance, family, or crime, you came to the right place! Riverdale has all of the above.


2. #bestfriendgoals on point!

I love that this show captivates the true meaning of friendship. The show not only focuses heavily on the plot, but the interpersonal relationships between the characters. B & V and Archie & Jug always make an effort to be there for each other and never hesitate to open up to each other, no matter the circumstances.


3. Whodunit?

If there is one word to describe Riverdale, it would be "whodunit". After every episode you watch, I can assure you there will be fingers pointed at new characters, and summoning your inner Sherlock Holmes during each commercial break, trying to crack the identity of the murder.


4. Endlessly 'shipping' couples.

When it comes to romance, Riverdale is pretty unpredictable. One episode, you'll find Jughead and Betty to be the most iconic duo to exist, and by next week, you'll be wearing a Team 'Barchie' (Betty and Archie together, duh!) shirt.

In the latest episodes, there's been quite a few love triangles transpiring that you must keep your eyes on too... *cough Betty-Archie-Veronica cough*


5. The cast members are [physically] unreal.

Have you SEEN KJ Apa shirtless? I think that statement revealed enough if you haven't. Or look at Mädchen Amick. She has not aged one bit since Twin Peaks! In all seriousness, every single cast member is flawless from head to toe.


6. The soundtrack is "music to the ears".

Something that people don't typically notice as they're watching the series is the background music. Pay very close attention! You may just hear some of your favorite tunes that truly tie the whole program together.

The soundtrack features modern-day artists such as Zella Day and Mac DeMarco, and even some oldies [but goodies!] like The Pierces and Dusty Springfield. Every now and then, the cast members will include their own covers of familiar songs as well.


7. They're not afraid to discuss social issues.

Sexual orientation, assault/rape, race, and substance abuse are just a few to name.


8. Cheryl Blossom = Queen B

This character out-beats Regina George, Blair Waldorf, you name it! Cheryl is an exemplar of the alpha female. She will fight until she gets exactly what she wants, and makes sure that no one is superior to her. Head cheerleader, back-up singer for "Josie & The Pussycats," the North Side's sweet and innocent... what more could you possibly want from a character? You will be loathing her all season long!


9. I can't spoil anymore! What are you waiting for?

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
