While it is always hard watching summer come to an end, I think that most people can agree fall is a great time of the year. Who doesn't love the beautiful colors of the leaves on trees, pumpkin spice everything, pumpkin carving, or the cool fall weather?

Here are some reasons why I believe that autumn is the best season.

1. Beautiful Colors...EVERYWHERE

This is probably the biggest reason why I love autumn so much. Everywhere you look, is beautiful. Trees changing into colors of red, orange, and yellow. The views of this time of year are so magical.

Not much is better than the crunch of the leaves below your feet as you're walking. Just simply driving down the road and through the countryside is a great way to take in the amazing views that fall brings with it.

2. Pumpkin spice everything.

When autumn comes around, you can find pumpkin flavored everything.

3. Cool Weather= Fall Clothes

Cool weather means you can finally wear jeans, hoodies, scarves, boots, beanies, etc. The weather is perfect, not to hot, and not to cold. Things aren't quite freezing yet, but there is still a nice cool breeze in the air.

4. Football Season

Fall weather means football season is upon us. Football season is a pretty big deal at the university I attend. (Northwest Missouri Sate University has the best DII football team in the nation, so I'd be lying if I said I didn't love football season.)

High school football games..College football games..NFL games. Whether watching it on TV or in person, football is a great way for bonding with family and friends.

5. Bonfires

What's better than cool weather and bonfires with friends? S'mores and a campfire hanging out with friends, is always a great way to spend a night with your friends this time of year.

6. Pumpkin picking and pumpkin carving

A trip to the pumpkin patch is a necessity this time of year. Pumpkins make great decorations, are super fun to carve, and make great memories along the way!

7. Haunted Houses and Scary Movies

I'm not a big fan of either of these, but I always feel obligated to participate in at least one of these activities because Halloween is creeping up.

8. Halloween Movies

Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite Halloween movies, but there are some others that are pretty good. You can typically always find a Halloween movie on TV this time of year.

9. Halloween and Thanksgiving

All of the best holidays are right around the corner. Halloween and Thanksgiving are two pretty awesome holidays, and they both lead up to Christmas.

Halloween is a time when you get to pretend to dress in a costume and be something other than yourself for a night. Not much is better than consuming large amounts of Halloween candy...and having leftovers for the weeks following.

Thanksgiving is a time you get to spend with your family and enjoy tons of delicious food.

10. A Fresh Start

Autumn is a new season and a fresh start. Summer draws to a close and a new school year begins. New memories will be made and old childhood memories will be remembered.

There is just something special about autumn, that will always have a piece of my heart.

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.
