Someone had a great day on Tuesday, October 23rd. They had the impossible odds on their side, and they became a billionaire. Okay, well maybe only a millionaire because, ya know...taxes. Still not a bad day for the lucky winner. Here are a few crazy things a winner could do with all that money:

1. Buy an island.

You could buy your own island. Pumpkin Key is a 26 acre island just off the coast of Miami. It's all yours for $95 million.

2. Buy a pro sports team.

You could buy the Florida Panthers NHL team, and they're only worth a fraction of your winnings. According to for Forbes, the team is valued at $305 million

3. Buy a 120 inch TV.

This TV is massive and only around $108,000.

4. Buy the International Space Station toilet.

I think I would rather just upgrade the bathroom in my house, but if you always dreamed of being an astronaut, here's your best shot. It's only $19 million.

5. Buy a yacht.

These things are mansions that float. These style boats sleep a lot of people along with crew in bedrooms, that line the boat. They can vary in price, but the one in the picture that I took at a boat show not too long ago was around $29 million.

6. Pay off your debts.

Mortgages, Car payments, student loans, and more. A billionaire won't ever have to see anything like that again.

7. Donate to charity.

There are a lot of people out there who use their money for good. There are thousands or charities and organizations that change people's lives, save animals lives, help people in need, and many more. Donating a significant amount of money to charity would be very reasonable, and you would be able to change a lot of lives for the better.

8. Put it away.

Most importantly, be sure you save and spend it responsibly.

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.
