Imagine a world where there are endless modes of fun, in addition to cleverly disguised sources of real life preparation, all of which children find not only interesting, but also entertaining. As you might have guessed from the particularly poignant word choice contained within the description, such a place already exists! So stop shaming people for using it!

Webkinz World is both a fantastic creation that was far ahead of its time and a potentially perfect immersion into processes integral to adult life. Interior design. Caring for young. Applying for jobs and having the proper prerequisites. Saving and properly spending money. Creatively developing strategies. A large selection of those skills are outside the realm of capability for even some modern age adults. The fact that kids are able to essentially teach themselves these abilities through usage of a source that they say purely as fun is both impressive and lacking the support it deserves.

Consider the question: What is the bill of rights? The first 10 constitutional amendments. Yes, students will learn this fact at some point in their schooling years, however, they also have access to it from a much earlier age thanks to the expansive archive of informative trivia held within Quizzy's Question Corner. If that is not convincing enough, how many people know which piece of Aztec sculpture was rediscovered on 17 December, 1790? Spoiler alert, the answer is anyone who answered the calendar trivia on that day in 2016.

Some were taught to care for 67 virtual pets! Not that anyone owned 67 webkinz... Yes, it's an oddly specific number, but it definitely did not come from experience. Anyone capable of administering care to 67 real pets, step up to the front - you, too, have the real life skills that Webkinz distributes so flawlessly.

In conclusion, the 'games' present in Webkinz World prove themselves as a borderline essential aid simply by existing. From the marketing skills learned by saving money to purchase food and furniture from the W shop, to the time management skills developed by planning when to visit the site and participate in the best of the scheduled daily activities, Webkinz World is a better advice coach than some peoples' best friends.

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.
