The Top 4 Comebacks Of Summer 2016

Is it 2016, or the early 2000's?

It seems that summer 2016 should be nicknamed the summer of comebacks. With so many things making us feel nostalgic, we’re not sure if we’ve traveled back to the late '90s/early 2000s. Here is a recap of the top four things that are making the biggest comebacks this summer.

This first comeback hasn't actually came back yet, but it was just announced and has a lot of people talking and excited. Just a few days ago at San Diego Comic Con at the Nickelodeon panel it was announced that we can be expecting a new "Hey Arnold!" movie. With the original series running from 1996 to 2004 it has been 12 years since the "football head" himself has graced our TV screens. The announcement definitely has a lot of younger millennials reminiscing about our childhood and the characters we loved and miss. While we will have to wait for 2017 to answer what happened to Arnold’s parents, I am labeling this a comeback because images of the main characters have been released. I know that even though I’ll be 21 when the movie is released on TV, I’ll be watching.

The next comeback of the summer is Juicy Couture. I haven't been been able to log onto Facebook without one of my friends "sharing" the news. In honor of the classic tracksuit turning 21, "#TRACKISBACK." Starting at the beginning of July, new styles of the tracksuit became available through Bloomingdales. The campaign also featured 21 influential women talking about their first tracksuits. Every girl had a Juicy tracksuit in middle school, and if you didn't have one you definitely wanted one (don't lie). A part of every basic girl died when Juicy Couture closed all of its U.S. stores in 2014, but they’re back! So grab a tracksuit and your Ugg boots because it’s the early 2000s all over again.

The next spot on our comeback list belongs to none other than Dory. You know who Dory is. She’s the lovable Blue Tang fish who suffers from memory loss and speaks whale. Well, this summer she is back on the big screen (as if you didn't already know). "Finding Dory" hit theaters on June 17 and had teens and adults racing to grab a ticket. Of course, there was even a whole new generation that wasn't around in 2003 when "Finding Nemo" was released that was introduced to the franchise and to Dory. Now that she’s back and better than ever with her own story, I have dubbed her the comeback queen of the summer.

The final comeback is obvious and possibly the biggest of summer 2016, the app Pokémon Go. Pokémon was a wildly popular TV show and card game that dominated a lot of our childhoods. While Pokémon never truly disappeared, since it has reinvented itself constantly as a video game on multiple gaming consoles, it’s definitely made its biggest and most impactful comeback in the past month. It seems that almost everyone has downloaded the app that allows you to catch Pokémon in our world. It's safe to say that adults and kids who were never fans of the original franchise have even downloaded the app.

With only about half the summer down and plenty of beach days left, I wonder if anything else will surprise us with a comeback. Only time will tell.

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.
