What to watch during quarantine

Since our world got turned upside down, I'll admit I've been spending a lot of time watching movies. If not to escape from the often sad reality, but to broaden my horizons. Here is a short list of some of my favorite movies I've watched during these past few months!

Ladybird (2018)

A beautifully written, wonderfully executed coming-of-age movie. The subtle humor and painfully real strained parent-child relationships within this story makes this movie incredible relatable.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

An extremely intriguing story with a heartbreaking romance. The strangeness of this idea is what immediately draws you in, but then the life-long wisdom and unconditional love keeps you viciously committed.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)

The unadulterated humor and refreshing film-style of this move is what makes it one of my favorites of all time. Scott Pilgrim is a perfectly real protagonist with an extremely outlandish story which makes it all the more fun to watch.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

A beautifully unique art-style with consistent humor and drama. This movie is a comfort for its ability to be re-watched endlessly along with its hyper-compelling and relatable protagonist, Miles Morales.

The Help (2011)

One of the most compelling stories ever told, from start to finish. This movie will make you laugh, cry, cheer, and yell. It's a must watch, especially for the times we live in.

Although this is a relatively short list, these movies are all ones that I can watch over and over without getting tired of them. During a time like this, we should all be exploring new things- whether that be books, hobbies, shows, movies, or even practices. I hope you can find something you enjoy regardless of the circumstance.

Happy watching!

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.
