10 Things To Get Excited About For Fall Other Than The PSL
Bravelets

As September ticks along, the excitement for Autumn continues to grow. The first thing that many people think of when they hear of fall is the ever famous PSL (pumpkin spiced latte). However, with the pumpkin spice craze starting earlier than ever and with more foods and drinks flavored that way, the countdown to fall has begun. Let us peek into the future and see what all the fall hype is about.

1. No More Bugs

As the weather cools down, bugs seem to slowly disappear. This is a blessing to those of us who are prone to pesky, itchy, bug bites. Also, it means we find fewer bugs in our rooms that we have to kill!

2. Sweater Weather

Speaking of cooler weather, one of the best parts of Fall is the wardrobe change. Cozy sweaters, jeans, leggings, fuzzy socks, boots, and scarves are all getting good use again. There is nothing better than wearing an oversized sweater with leggings and fuzzy socks - so comfortable.

3. Fall Activities

The Fall season allows us to do cute, fun activities such as going pumpkin and apple picking, finding corn mazes, beer festivals, hayrides, and haunted houses. There is so much to do in the Fall months that every weekend could be booked with something new and exciting.

4. Halloween

Halloween is one of the best things about the fall. Who doesn't like an excuse to dress up and eat candy? In addition to that, there are always great movie marathons going on for the entire month of October. Most of the time it is usually horror movies, but you can usually catch Hocus Pocus or Halloweentown at least a few times!

5. Bonfires

Bonfires are a great social alternative to sitting inside and just hanging out. You are able to feel the warmth of the fire and make s'mores all while being with your friends. The bonfire smell on your clothes afterwards isn't half bad either.

6. Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving might come at the end of the season, but it is still one of the best parts of the Fall. You get to spend time with all of your loved ones and eat delicious food. In addition to that, you get time off of school also. There is really no complaining when it comes to this holiday.

7. Football

Football season is huge and a big part of Fall culture. From high school football games to college to the NFL, fall is where it all begins and everyone gets hyped. Start making the dip now for your football parties!

8. Hockey

Even though it might seem like Ice Hockey is a winter sport, the season actually starts in October! This might seem crazy but hockey fans all over the nation are rejoicing that the season is starting up again in just a little over a month.

9. Hot Chocolate

Hot Chocolate is a delicacy that is enjoyed when the weather is cooled down. There is nothing better than drinking a nice cup of Hot Chocolate on your way to class in the morning or at night while watching your favorite movies.

10. TV shows

Last, but definitely not least, Fall TV returns. All of our favorite shows on primetime networks generally return in the fall. Things like Modern Family, American Horror Story, Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds and so much more are all starting up again in just a matter of weeks. Let the countdown to fighting over the remote begin!

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.
