Just in case you have not seen the "This is Us" Super Bowl episode or the following episode, do not keep reading! This week's episodes have been heartbreaking, touching, real and everything the show has always been. It's the most real and raw television show I have ever seen. I would be lying if I said I had not cried during every single episode at least once.

Yet this week's episodes are particularly gut-wrenching because we finally see how Jack died. He was his usual, lovable, heroic self and being the wonderful dad that he is when we saw him selflessly save his entire family. Even after he made it out of the house, he seemed to be okay, but he died in the hospital. This family has something anyone can relate to. There is at least one aspect of the show that everyone can relate to. I relate to multiple, but there's something for everyone. The actors really put their heart and soul into their characters and each and every scene.

After so many episodes of suspension and so many fan theories, nothing could prepare me for the imminent death that was to come. Jack was such a wonderful dad and a beautiful soul who, despite his flaws, always tried to do the best he could and give so much love. Watching the funeral scene was definitely one of the worst scenes because you could feel the pain of Kevin, Kate and Randall losing their father and Rebecca mourning her husband while trying to be strong for her kids. If you've ever lost someone, this episode will break you even more than it already does.

On a happier note, Dr. K comes back to comfort Rebecca and we get to listen to his wise words once more and his beautiful advice that always comes back to making lemonade from sour lemons. We also hear the story of the Pearson family car and why that car means so much and will continue to be important for the Pearsons as they go on.

"This is Us" has such beautiful story lines about family, love, heartache and life overall. While this past chapter ended on a sad note, viewers should be excited and waiting for what amazing stories the writers are going to bring us next.

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.
