Ode To Kate Mckinnon

Because every day should be an ode to this perfect woman.

My obsession with Kate McKinnon is real. Like, really real. It all started when my sister had me watch one of her Saturday Night Live sketches in which she plays a Russian woman named Olya Povlatsky on the Weekend Update. From that moment on, I was hooked. How hooked? I want to invite her to my sister's wedding, that's how hooked (still working on that, I haven't given up!).But the thing is, I find her underappreciated by all. So, I want to provide you with the information necessary to become obsessed with Kate McKinnon just like me!

Who is Kate McKinnon? -- Why I'm glad you asked! Kate is a born and raised New Yorker (Okay, not NYC but she is from New York state.) She attended (drumroll) Columbia University. Bonafide genius. And the first openly gay female "Saturday Night Live" cast member. AKA she's perfect. Still unsure? Well lucky for you I compiled here some of her best skits.

1. Fitzwilliam: "Big Gay Sketch Show"


Best Quote: "I've only got a few inches but they're making me positively miserable!"

2. Hillary Clinton: "Saturday Night Live" (one of many skits)


Best Quote: "That's cool. You know what else is cool? In two years I'll be 69. You like that? Bill told me to tell that to young males."

3. Justin Bieber: "Saturday Night Live"

Best Quote: "Are my musckles cute?"

4. Ellen DeGeneres: "Ellen DeGeneres"


Best Quote: "Me and my kitty-kitty-kitty cats"

5. Chandelier: "Saturday Night Live"


Best Quote: "What? No! I couldn't possibly. I haven't even seen the music video."

6. Billie Jean King: Saturday Night Live

(watch here)

Best Quote: "I'm President Obama's big, gay middle finger and this bird's about to get flipped."

7. Shud: "Saturday Night Live"


Best Quote: "And uh, here's a picture of my mom on her wedding day. Isn't she gorgeous?"

8. Olya Povlatsky: "Saturday Night Live"

(watch here)

Best Quote: "They try to make me go to rehab and I said "Is it warm?"

9. Close Encounters: "Saturday Night Live"


*Notice how Ryan Gosl-no-one- can keep their shit together.*

Best Quote: "I was full Porky Piggin' it in a drafty dome."

10. "Wishin' Boot," "First Got Horny 2 U," "Back Home Ballers:" Music Videos



No quotes, just know she's the star.

11. "Ghostbusters" -- Coming soon to a theater near you.


If this article hasn't convinced you of Kate's wondrous comedic ability, then you must not have a sense of humor. She's everything young girls should hope to grow up to be. Confident of who they are, not afraid to make fun of themselves, and refreshingly unfiltered. She's not afraid to make the hard calls and bring humor to the most serious of situations. Because in this day and age, we truly need some comedic relief for the tragedies we face.

Go forth and be yourself.

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.

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.

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.
