The Nelk Boys Are An Example of How Selfish People Are Being During A Pandemic

For many college students, college parties seem to be something to check off the college bucket list. However, during a pandemic is not a good time to do so.

Despite the current COVID-19 pandemic, students are still throwing parties no masks, and no social distancing at all, students even threw parties despite being tested positive.

There are students who have not been very responsible lately, and one of the most recent instances with when YouTubers The Nelk Boys went to Chicago to film some prank videos, they made a stop in Normal, Illinois somehow fans from Illinois State University=caught wind of their visit and gathered around, large crowd, clearly not social distancing, and hardly any masks.

While the boys claimed to only tell one person (check their Twitter accounts they talk about the headlines) they still could have maybe told people to wear a mask at least or stayed six feet apart from one another, or even better stop encouraging others to break health guidelines and gather.

There are other ways they could have put smiles on students faces, maybe they could have popped in to one of their zoom classes, maybe donate some money to a business who is struggling because of COVID-19, now prior to this story

In the end, YouTube made the right decision to demonetize them.

To all the people who may say "If it scares you so much than stay home'' there are many students who would love to be living their lives. Unfortunately, there are students like Cam and Samantha who can't just go back to normal right then and there. You are basically saying that people like them should never leave the house again, never get jobs, never go out into the world, you are basically saying that their existence doesn't matter to you. What if that person was your friend, or your brother or sister, or anyone of importance in your life.

What if they think that you abandoned them, and forgotten about them. That is not right to do, when you go out partying then the next day visit your friend who might have an illness, in which if they got corona could put them in the hospital.

Yes, it is important to make friends during college, and to socialize, but please do it responsibly. There will come a time that huge parties will be okay to have again but right now is not the best time.

So NELK boys please do better. Everyone needs to do better.

Stay healthy my friends.

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.

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.
