Why You Should Watch 'Outlander'
The Wrap

When I ask my friends if they are fans of "Outlander," they respond with “what’s that?” I feel as if this show is very under estimated and more people need to be aware of this magnificent show. So here are some reasons why you should start binge watching it.

1. If you like "Game of Thrones", you will like "Outlander."

It has the same kind of wit and gore that "GOT" has. Coming from a fan of "GOT," I instantly fell in love with this show and I am just as obsessed with "Outlander" than I am with "GOT."

2. The first season is filmed in Scotland, so you can bet there are a lot of Scottish accents.

All of the characters (except for Claire) talk in a Scottish accent. Forget wanting to have a British accent. Having a Scottish accent is the new thing now.

3. The main male character is hot.

James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser. Beautiful blue eyes. Beautiful long red hair. Beautiful body. Beautiful human being. Enough said.

4. The story line is super good.

It is about a woman (Claire) who time travels from 1945 to 1743 in the Highlands of Scotland. Claire has to decide whether to go back to her husband in 1945 or stay in 1743.


5. Shirtless scenes of Jamie.

You get to see Jamie’s body andbutt multiple times. I mean, I’m sold already.

6. If you like witch stuff, there is an episode about witchcraft.

If you find witchcraft interesting, then you will enjoy an episode where Claire is accused of being a witch. Such an interesting episode that popcorn will definitely be necessary.

7. The books are amazing, and the TV show is equally amazing.

The books are phenomenal. Diana Gabaldon did an excellent job writing all seven books And yes, this means that there will be seven seasons. There is still time for you to join the fandom.

8. You will want to visit the Highlands sometime in your life.

The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Forget going to Cabo for your honeymoon. You will want to go and vacation in the Highlands.

9. It will make you want to live in Scotland and not England.

Again, beautiful area. What more do you want?

10. Season two is out.

You are not too far behind, you can still catch up. So you can't use the excuse that "I will never catch up" because you can.

11. You won't regret it.

Trust me, this will be the best decision of your life, right behind you obsessing over "GOT."

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.
