I have to admit, I am one of the biggest kids you will ever get to know. Although many of you see me handling my business with the various activities I’m in or with school, tuning in to my favorite cartoon shows is something I have not let go of. I have watched cartoons all my life and plan to keep watching them even when I’m 80 years old. I have watched a variety of cartoons from old to new, silly to serious, and from usual to unusual. The cartoons I usually watch now a days are usually on both Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. The ONLY time I watch Disney Chanel is if "Phineas and Ferb" is on.

When I was younger I watched all sorts of things, I really didn’t discriminate. But as I got older, I prefer cartoons that have a story line such as Steven Universe. The only exception I will make for other cartoons is if it is Spongebob (which happens to be my favorite show), Scooby Doo, or Family Guy. But there are reasons why I still watch cartoons, and maybe my reasons may convince you I’m not as crazy as you think I am.

1. It calms my nerves.
There’s nothing like a TV show that helps you relax from a long stressful day. I feel as though cartoons helps me cope with my long days.

2. Cartoons are where I started my TV journey
We’ve all had our share of cartoons growing up, and many of us usually complain about the TV shows that airs today. I remain faithful to my cartoon watching.

3. They can be funny and amusing
A lot of the older cartoons, such as "Rugrats," are hilarious to watch now that I’m older and understand certain concepts. Also some of the newer cartoons for adults can be amusing such as "Family Guy."

4. Most of them have hidden subliminal messages
Okay, now I know you’ve seen certain cartoons and saw the hidden message behind what they were saying. You know those messages you wouldn’t have caught as a kid, and now you can laugh at because you understand.

5. A separation from reality
Majority of the things shown on cartoons, real life actors or actresses can’t do.

6. Imagination
It allows you to think outside the box.

7. They will always exist
Whether you like cartoons or not, they will always be around. There are always children somewhere needing something watch.

8. Some may take you back to your childhood
Watching some of the older cartoons as an adult can bring back great memories from when you were a child.

9. There are cartoons that have an actual storyline
Some cartoons actually have a storyline line that some kids don’t understand. Steven Universe is a good example of a cartoon that has a storyline you can’t miss.

10. They can be empowering
There are cartoons that can be empowering and have a positive message to send out. There are also certain superhero cartoons that can be seen as empowering.

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.
