The 2016 Presidential Election: Go Vote

The 2016 Presidential Election is now. Are you going to step up to the plate and vote or are you going to keep your opinion to yourself and leave others to decide America's future for you? Get out there and vote, because your opinion matters.

As citizens of the United States, you have the right of free speech. It might not seem like any new information, but this freedom that we have is a big deal. Some countries do not have the option to voice their opinions or thoughts, especially about government issues, but you do! Don't take your rights for granted, because others envy how you live and the freedoms that you have.

You should vote in the 2016 Presidential Election, because if you do not then you don't have the right to complain about the results. If you are allowed to vote I would recommend that you do so because every vote counts. If you vote, you have the right to complain or discuss the outcome of the election, but if you do not vote you should not complain because you had the chance to voice your opinion.

Elections are important, even when the candidates are not favorable for many. Look up information on each candidate and reach a conclusion on who best fits your ideals and vote for them. Not one candidate is going to believe in the same thing that you do for all areas, but one will be a closer match to what you believe in than others. Educate yourself and pick who you think is the better fit to run our Country.

Educate yourself before you vote, and vote! Let America hear what you have to say!

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.
