Why We're Still Watching "Pretty Little Liars"

Why We're Still Watching "Pretty Little Liars"
ABC Family

The year was 2010, the song in the teaser commercial was by One Republic, and if you are my age you were just beginning high school. Does that seem like forever ago? Well, it was five years ago, and it was also the year that ABC Family premiered their teen drama, "Pretty Little Liars." You were interested at first because it had all you could want in a new TV show: cool characters, mystery, and a plot that revolved around getting threatening texts from an unknown stalker.

In case you haven't seen the show, the story revolves around four best friends (Aria, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna) who start to receive threatening texts from an unknown stalker named A, after their other best friend Alison goes missing. Basically, every time the girls get closer to finding out who kidnapped or murdered Alison, A sends them a text message with a threat or sends one of "its" people to physically harm them.

Well, folks, it's been five years, and while a lot of stuff has gone down (Alison isn't really dead), the girls still don't know who A is, or what really happened to Alison. What we have learned is that it's called "Pretty Little Liars" for a reason -- the town of Rosewood has a lot of lying going on and just about everyone -- from the police department and the girls' parents, to their teachers -- is involved.

The whole show has left us with a lot of questions, but most importantly, why are we still watching? I mean, most of the show is completely unrealistic; it's been five years and the girls are still in high school. Will they ever graduate?

I will tell you why we are all still watching: it's addicting! The mystery keeps you wanting more, and with every "reveal" of new information you can't stop watching.

Just for fun, I've complied a list of the people who have been suspected of being A or being on the "A-Team."

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
