Why I Can't Wait For This Presidential Election To Be Over
The Fiscal Times

November cannot come soon enough. Most people have very strong views about one or even all of the presidential candidates, and I’m not here to sway you one way or another. Personally, my knowledge of politics is limited. I am not strongly opinionated in regards to Trump or Clinton, I am honestly just holding out for it all to be over.

Being old enough to vote for the individual who will run our country for the next four years is incredibly important in my opinion as well in the eyes of many others. However, it is unbelievably frustrating to go online to check my Facebook, and check up on my friends and see what's going on. Lately, that has been impossible because of the election coming up in a few months. It seems every time I go online to check social media there is another argument about why so and so is best suited to be president or why electing them as the leader of our country would be a mistake.

I miss my friends. The normal versions of my friends. This time last year everyone was posting statuses and pictures of their summer adventures. Now all that is being posted by these same people are sexist, racist and quite frankly over-the-top memes and statuses about the candidate they are either so for, or so against. And don’t even get me started on their reactions if you don’t agree with every single one of their opinions, and the opinions of the person you know they are voting for.

It is especially frustrating to see those who are not of age, or even close to being of age to vote, attempting to sway the opinions of others and becoming part of an unnecessary disagreement online. To me it feels that as the election is nearing, it is turning into a giant online “he said she said,” or “this is why I’m right” debate. The whole point of having the right to vote, and having a say in the government is because everyone's opinion is different, and everyone is entitled to their different opinion. Just because someone doesn’t have the same thoughts and beliefs that someone else does, does not make either person wrong. No matter whom anyone chooses to vote for, they are voting for that individual because they believe that person is the most qualified to be the president of the United States of America.

I am ready for November to come, and for this election to be over with so the constant drama and arguments over the candidates can also be over.

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.
