A non-spoiler review of The Good Place!

Anything talking about morals and ethical code is automatically going to be a hit in my book. However,The Good Place (which can be viewed through most TV providers) really hit a home run.

From their characters to the ideas and themes, producers Michael Schur, David Miner, Morgan Sackett, and Drew Goddard really created something original and talk-worthy with this show. For anyone who hasn't seen the show, I will try to do my best not to spoil any big secrets, which the show is packed full of.

This comedic show is based around its two main characters: Eleonor and Chidi, cast as Kristen Bell and William Jackson Harper, respectively. They both have died on what we know as Earth and must navigate the afterlife where they both have made it into "the good place."

Whether you believe in religion and/or the afterlife, the show puts on a good mask of showing where they line up on the religious spectrum. One could argue that the show exhibits a faith that is of close variation to Christianity (with a few spin-offs and name changes), but regardless it is less about where they are and more about how to get out.

Following the beloved characters on their adventures keeps the audience entertained as other characters like Tahani Al-Jamil, Jason, and Michael keep things twisted and enticing. In the beginning, none of the characters find the afterlife to be exactly what they expected and are trying to save face during the first episode or so.

If you're anything like me and love to think about what the afterlife could be like or simply love a good laugh, I highly recommend you check out the show and make sure to note your favorite character: it's a debated topic, I promise! The show goes through season four and is gaining popularity every single day, so if you're missing out, take the time to turn on Netflix and binge-watch for the next couple hours.

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.
