Everyone loves watching T.V., some more than others, but everyone watches some of the popular shows, such as Family Guy, American Dad and Bob’s Burgers. More than these popular ones though, I feel that there are ten shows that everyone loves to watch any chance they can get. If you haven't watched any of these before, you definitely have some catching up to do!

10. "Sherlock"

Sherlock came out in 2010 and normally comes on BBC America. It’s the more modern version of the great detective Sherlock Holmes, who is played by non-other than Benedict Cumberbatch alongside his faithfully friend Dr. Watson, who is played by Martin Freeman. Together, they go on marvelous adventures finding clues to solve their next big case.

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.
