As a girl who loves fashion and shopping, I love watching television shows and seeing all the glamorous outfits that characters on television shows, like "Riverdale," "Pretty Little Liars," and "Gossip Girl" wear. But as much as I want to dress like Blair Waldorf every day, there are certainly more than a handful of days where I do not have the energy or the time.

As amazing as these high school characters look on our favorite TV shows, dressing like them every day to go to school or work is simply unrealistic.

1. Heels

As glamorous and fabulous as heels can be, no one really puts on 4-inch heels to go to school. I don’t know how Serena and Blair did it.

2. Showing your midriff

Everyone loves a good crop top but going to school and going to class may not be the best occasion for them. Also, many school dress codes have rules that prevent students from wearing crop tops.

3. Shorts and skirts

High school definitely has way too many rules about the length of shorts, skirts, and dresses. I personally just gave up and just wore pants when I was in high school. Luckily, in college there no dress code!

4. Gang apparel

Also restricted in many school dress codes is gang apparel. As much as we all want to be a South Side Serpent, we probably would not be wearing our Serpent jackets to school.

5. Glamorous hair

I do not know about you but I think all of us have those days where we throw on a hat or simply throw our hair up into a bun. I personally, do not break out my curling iron every day to try to obtain the perfect beach wave.

6. Perfect makeup


I think a lot of us wish our makeup was perfect at all times but in reality, it does not always work out that way.

7. Hats

While Jughead rocks his signature beanie on every episode of "Riverdale," most high schools do not let you wear hats indoors. Bad hair days are no exception.

8. Varsity jackets


In all my time in high school, I never saw anyone wearing a varsity jacket every single day.

9. Cheerleading uniforms

Okay, let's be real. No one wears their cheerleading uniform every single day to school either.

10. Carrying a purse instead of a backpack

When going to class many students have tons of books, notebooks, and textbooks to carry with them. Carrying a tiny little purse around is not going to cut it.

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.
