Why I HATE Movie Theaters

They're repulsive.

I hate movie theaters. I really hate them. I find them disgusting and raunchy. I know that most people love movie theaters but some people don't. Movie theaters are great in an essence, but just think of all the disgusting things that are there.

1. The food tastes like cardboard.

The only way that you can make the popcorn taste good is if you drown it in liquified butter. It's not even butter, it's an oil that has an artificial butter flavor. So you're just eating chemicals and trans fat. The nachos that you can get tastes stale, and the "cheese" to go alongside with it tastes like the cheese that you can squeeze out of a bottle. The only good thing would be the candy or the fountain drinks.

2. The movie seats are never clean.

Have you ever noticed that before you sit down you have to wipe it down with your hands or a napkin because there's popcorn on the seat? Well let me tell you...the seats are never cleaned, even the leather ones. They are just replaced every 10-15 years. So when you think about it...you could easily get sick, or even lice because lice love warmth, and would love to jump in your hair. Remember that next time.

3. Teenagers are nasty.

We've all been there during our teen years, where we go to the movies to make out, because our parents don't know that we've started kissing boys/girls at the age of 13. Well just going off experience, and not me of course but seeing it, teenagers also like to have sex in these seats. Especially the ones in the back corners of the dark theater. So next time if you hear something NOT coming from the movie, I would recommend not turning around.

4. Tickets are expensive now.

Tickets used to cost maybe 10 dollars when I was about 12 years old. Now that I am 18, they cost around 15 to 20 dollars for ONE TICKET. That's crazy. Especially for a college student. I would rather save that money for food, and wait until the movie is on Netflix, Hulu, or out in the stores. It's just not worth the cost, including when you add the "food".

I hope that this might help you take a better look at movie theaters the next time you want to go. I know it's gross but it's sadly the truth. Just remember that it is too expensive and not worth your time or money.

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.
