It's 2008 Again, And That's Okay With Me

The Jonas Brothers, Aly and AJ, Wizards of Waverly Place, everything is making a comeback in 2019 and I am HERE FOR IT!

It's 2008 Again, And That's Okay With Me

2019 started off on a weird foot. We all saw the memes and politics. But by all that is good, we were blessed. The Jonas Brothers released new music in early 2019 and thus began months of good things and even better reunions.

The Jonas Brothers split up forever ago and had started to each have their own lives. Three of the four bros (we cannot forget about Frankie Jonas) got married recently. Kevin dropped from public view, Nick worked on a solo career, and Joe was the singer for DNCE. His vocals were especially highlighted in the hit song 'Cake by the Ocean'. The bros kept their lives going despite our constant nostalgia and need for a reunion. That is, until this year.

The Jonas Brothers seemingly official announcement came when they appeared with James Corden on Carpool Karaoke. The bros piled in and sang old songs, did a polygraph test, and chatted away. Their new song was decent also. It did not hold up to the sheer power and beauty of 'Burning Up' and 'Year 3000' (Which I'm shook to reveal is actually a cover!!), however, it was as good a reunion as I could ask for.

Their reunion may or may not have been the reason so many other reunions have been announced in the past few months. I'm sure all of this publicity was extremely good for the Jonas Brothers economically especially. It would only make sense for other bands and for Disney to hop on the back of this success and use the reunion wave to "leak" their own information about what they're planning to release this year.

Shortly after the Jonas Brothers experienced an increase in revenue and an increase in Spotify page visits, Aly and AJ started to tweet about their own little reunion. Even though none of their new music has dropped yet, they have been posting pictures of them recording new music and have been more active on social media than they were in the past.

Shortly after them, David Henrie posted a picture of him at Disney on his Instagram story. This can only mean one thing: Wizards of Waverly Place is coming back too. The show where Selena Gomez kept a wand in her boot, David Henrie defined words like the word 'the', and Jake T. Austin stole our hearts with his naive yet adorable banter. The return of Wizards of Waverly Place would mean the return of one of the best shows of the early '2000s. The best part is, I have seen online more and more sources confirming that this reunion is actually happening.

All I can say is I hope 2019 brings the return of 2008, a simpler time when TV shows were better and popular music was actually good. I can only hope that we find out how Charlie from "Good Luck Charlie" has been doing for all these years, what happened to Max Russo, and why Miley Cyrus is channeling her inner Hannah Montana with that new haircut (she looks GOOD though). Here's hoping 2019 is actually better than 2018 and almost as good as 2008.

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.
