2016 is over! (thank goodness!!)

Let's recap all the bad things happened in this last year.

Donald Trump was elected President of the United States of America

The DEVASTATING Orlando massacre that occurred at Pulse Nightclub

The awful terrorist attacks in Nice (France), Istanbul, and Brussels (Belgium)

Hurricane Matthew

DISNEY Gator Attack

We lost amazing talent such as Prince, Alan Rickman, Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, Nancy Reagan, Gene Wilder, Carrie Fisher, and Debbie Reynolds

Harambe was shot dead at the Cincinnati Zoo

I think it's safe to say that most of us would like to leave 2016 behind us. However, 2016 was not all bad as it brought us some amazing music. 2016 was filled with songs about love, heartbreak, and living life.

Here's a list of my top 10 songs from 2016 accompanied by my favorite lyrics. These songs are the only part of 2016 I'd like to keep.


1. Closer - The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop

2. Heathens - Twenty One Pilots

All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse

3. Bad Things - Machine Gun Kelly & Camilla Cabello

I want you forever
Even when we're not together
Scars on body so I look at you whenever

4. This Is What You Came For - Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna

Baby, this is what you came for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
And everybody's watching her
But she's looking at you, oh, oh

5. Needed Me - Rihanna

I was good on my own, that's the way it was, that's the way it was

6. Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me to
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

7. Mercy - Shawn Mendes

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart

8. Cold Water - Major Lazer feat. Justin Bieber

Everybody gets high sometimes, you know
What else can we do when we're feeling low?
So take a deep breath and let it go
You shouldn't be drowning on your own

9. Let Me Love You - DJ Snake feat. Justin Bieber

I used to believe
We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful

10. Love Me Now - John Legend

I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have
I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now

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.
