5. Kat from the Bold Type

Kat is seen as the second banana to Jane Sloan, but her presence dominates every scene. She's culturally and politically diverse with the grace to accept others' opinions. With this being said, she takes zero crap from anyone when it comes to what she believes in. She's a lovable and relatable character and the millennial role model women need.

4. Caroline from The Vampire Diaries

Everyone who loves this series knows it revolved around Elena Gilbert and the Salvatore brothers. But after the love triangle gets old, it's revealed Elena isn't capable of much besides crying and being saved, while Caroline has ambition and drive to live her life, even though it was halted by her vampirism. She later loses multiple loves, her mother, and the town she loved dearly. Let's not forget about her being a kickass mom. Elena going into a permanent coma was devastating, but it showed Caroline could hold the whole TV show all on her own.

3. Lexa from the 100

She was only featured in seasons 2 and 3, but in that time she made a lasting impression. She was a fierce and complex character. She took over being commander of the human race in her early teens. She loved and she lost, but she never put herself above her people. Killing her off was probably the worst decision the CW has made.

2. Moira from the Handmaid's Tale

In no way am I saying June is not a strong and empathic character, but Moira represents another journey that viewers should get the chance to learn about. How'd she get captured by Gilead? How, with her smart mouth, did she survive? What was Jezebel's like? As a refugee in Canada, what's her life like now? What has Gilead taken from her that she'll never get back?

1. Cristina Yang from Grey's Anatomy

The true queen of ABC. Cristina represented everything Meredith was not at the beginning of the series. She embodied strength, drive, and independence. She didn't look for anyone's approval and didn't apologize for it. She made Meredith and everyone around her better. She never felt bad because she didn't want to be a mother and refused to let anyone make her feel like less of a woman because she didn't want to bear children. Her leaving for Zurich was a devastating loss for the show, but also again for her character. She never lost sight of her goals.

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.
