10 Reasons Why New England Wins at Autumn

It's an undisputed fact that New England does fall better than anywhere else in the world. But for those who doubt this fact or are yet to discover all that a New England autumn has to offer, I present this list.

1. The foliage

The burnt red and orange leaves paint the landscape in already-beautiful New England, and make the scenery even more picturesque.

2. The Big E

New England has perfected the fall season so much, that we hold a region-wide fair called the Eastern States Exposition, otherwise known as the Big E. Visit each of the houses honoring New England's states and the best they have to offer, enjoy a variety of rides, and most of all, prepare to eat all the delicious, artery-clogging fair food you can.

3. The weather

It's perfect for taking a walk outside in a cozy sweater.

4. The foliage

Beautiful.

5. Pumpkin festivals

Fall wouldn't be fall without pumpkins, so be sure to check out any of New England's grand pumpkin festivals held throughout September and October. Keene, New Hampshire in particular hosts its annual pumpkin festival that thousands visit, so you should too.

6. Apple festivals

If pumpkin festivals, aren't your thing, don't worry. New England is also chock-full of apple festivals held at orchards that allow you to not only pick your own bucket of apples, but sample tasty treats like apple cide, pie, and fritters.

7. Hiking spots

Whether it's the Berkshires in Massachusetts, the Green Mountains in Vermont, or anything in between, New England hiking trails are most utilized in the crisp, fall months for breathtaking views of what else? Fall foliage.

8. Did I mention the foliage?


9. Perfect football weather

Night games are chilly but not freezing, and afternoon games are often paired with perfect sunny weather to make your tailgate better.

10. And finally, the foliage


Yup. New England does it best.

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.
