10 Basic Things Every College Kid Should Be Thankful For This Holiday Season
Aaron Burden

1. Sweater Weather

Cozy cardigans are an essential for cool weather fashion. Between an over sized sweater, a blanket scarf, or combat boots any outfit could become cozy, yet super stylish. No doubt about it, cool weather fashion is the best fashion.

2. Cuddles

Whether it be with a signifigant other, a best friends, or a furry friend, or all by yourself, cuddling up in bed with lots of blankets is the ultimate way to relax after a long stressful day at school/work. A warm bed is a happy one.

3. Time with your loved ones

All throughout the holidays are times spent with your loved ones. Nothing beats a day spent with the ones you care about most. There is something about spending time with people you love that makes your days a little brighter and your hearts a little warmer.

4. Drinks

From hot chocolate, to apple cider, to Starbucks Holiday Drinks (Coming out on November 9!!) there is nothing a warm drink can't cure. Something about warming your insides that just melt you in this cold cold world.

5. Fuzzy socks

Nothing can beat a good pair of fuzzy socks. Not only are they super cozy, but also cute as can be! How can something keep your feet so warm, along with making your feet look adorable at the same time! Fuzzy socks are great to lounge around in, or wear with boots for extra warmth in your day.

6. FOOD

All throughout this holiday season, the best food is offered. All the turkey, potatoes, ham, stuffing, and PIE. There is so much available to get my winter body up and ready. Something about holiday food, just seems to have some sort of comfort. Did I mention it's also DELICIOUS?

7. Movies, Movies, Movies

Scary movies, to Christmas movies (personal fav) the holiday movies always seem to get us in the spirit for the holidays by getting us ready to get our holiday on. There is no doubt about it holiday movies are the best kind of movies ever made.

8. Hella good Insta pics

Whether it be cute pictures with pumpkins, in your costumes, to jumping in a pile of leaves with your cousin, and a cute picture under the mistletoe. The holiday season gives us so many opportunities to take the perfect Instagram pictures, in ever occasion. There's no way a little seasonal pic won't score you a couple extra likes.

9. Pretty scenery

From the pretty leaves, to the snow fall, to the lights, there is no way that anything could ever look more beautiful. Practically anywhere you go there is a beautiful sight waiting to be seen, full of holiday cheer. It's so festive and fun.

10. Faith

Something about the holiday season always has me having a little more faith. Faith in everything to be exact. Maybe even some more faith in magic.

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.

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.
