Good news, ladies, feminism is cancelled and we have finally achieved the epitome of equality. Lady Doritos have been created and women can truly have it all.

Amidst all of the chaos and turmoil present in today’s society, ranging from a failed presidential candidate to the rapid effects of global warming, nothing has brought me more peace of mind than knowing that Doritos has prioritized the importance of me being able to fulfill my social responsibility of living up to my gender role as a woman. 2018, I present to you the Doritos re-engineered specifically for us women.

As a young woman growing up in the 21st century, the obnoxiously tiny box that society tries to fit women in is unbelievable. It’s as if the world would combust if a woman didn’t make every effort to strive to be as dainty, feminine, and respectable at all times. How could I ever fulfill my purpose as a human if I didn’t ensure that the way I was eating my cholesterol saturated snack wasn’t geared to help me maintain my ladylike reputation?

Have no fear, Doritos has our back, ladies. Now we can enjoy our snacks in a demure manner, minimizing our presence even more! Isn’t it a dream come true? Yes, you guessed it. It is also going to be packaged in pink plastic, be made to fit in our handbags as snuggly as possible, and ensure that we are being the best ladies we can be.

Let’s all be real here for a second. Doritos are obnoxiously loud to eat. They cover your fingers in an oddly orange tint, making your fingertips smell of a taco bar for hours, all while breaking into a million pieces after one single crunch of a chip. (I mean, doesn’t that appeal to all of us in some way though? It’s all a part of the true Dorito experience!)

Rather than making it a goal as a company to try and redesign the chip itself, the bosses at Doritos concluded that true issue at hand is that they haven’t created a “lady-like” version of our delicious corn chip snack. Because quite frankly, as women, there is no bigger injustice than not having the crunchiness of our chips specifically tailored for our delicate, lady mouths.

Seeing advertisements like this make it so obvious how little progress we have made. This isn’t the first piece of advertising that has been geared to separate genders in a hopes to appeal to women in an obnoxiously sexist manner. It reinforces this ideology that women should not be heard, should not be messy, should settle. It’s this ridiculous attempt to reach at any grasp to make it so women remain these delicate, frail, demure creatures. It’s sickening.

Thank you, Doritos. Thank you for helping me realize that every time I snag a bag of Doritos, I will ensure that I rip that bag open as loudly as humanly possible. Every single chip will be crunched as loud as possible, echoing from every corner of every room that I step into, loud enough to drown out the sounds of the rubbish that spews from sexists, mansplainers, and complete morons, like those who create gender-geared snacks. I will lick the orange tint from the Dorito chip powder from my fingers, and I will bask in the beauty of being a woman and throwing the bird to your attempt at trying to reinforce gender norms.

It’s 2018. Women, just as much as any other human, deserve to enjoy our corn chips in peace. So for the love of all things good in this world, lay off my snacks and focus on things that matter. And, get your hands off of my goddamn Doritos. Let me crunch in peace.

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.
