Elections are around the corner. We have the chance to choose our representatives one more time. I grew up in another country. It was a place where democracy has been hurt, and people fight every day for the possibility of voting. Sometimes, I feel Americans take voting for granted, and it is not. We should treat Democracy as we treat a romantic relationship; we need to work on it every day.

I hope you are the kind of person who understands how important it is to vote. In case you are not this kind of person, I give you 51 reasons to go and vote for the candidate you like the most; maybe he/she is not who I like, but I believe in voting power. I know democracy is the way.

Here are the reasons why you must go and vote.

1. You have dreams.

2. You think having a weapon is a right.

3. You are a Democrat.

4. You feel climate change is a farce.

5. You like each of your representatives.

6. You like Obamacare.

7. You don’t like immigrants.

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.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
