11 Reasons We're Not Ready For Fall

Is it August already?

11 Reasons We're Not Ready For Fall
Jessica Rondeau Photography

Every year, us over here in Michigan, sit and hope for the glorious warm weather that comes with the promise of summer. We can pull off those snowsuits, peel back the multiple layers of clothing and let our skin be warmed naturally. It's something we northerners cherish greatly.

So here are 11 reasons we're not ready for fall:

1. No more slipping on some flip flops and heading outside.

When summer comes to a close, there isn't any more quick walks through the park. Suddenly socks are involved, and with them, shoes that actually tie. It involves a lot more commitment.

2. Goodbye to summer sales and hello to sweater weather.

On top of the extra work you have to do in order to put actual shoes on, you now have to put on actual clothes, too. No more tank tops and shorts. You've got to actually fashion an outfit that is not just warm, but cute as well.

3. Out with the summer romantic comedyies and in with the creepy fall thrillers.

Not that I don't love a good scar every now and then, but the terrifying commercials on TV at all hours of the night do sort of start to get to me once we hit October.

4. PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING!

I love a good pumpkin spice latte every now and then, but when everything is available in pumpkin spice, it gets to be a little bit too much. Pumpkin spice life? No, thanks.

5. This means you've got to figure out some sort of ridiculous Halloween costume soon.

There'a always that perfect balance between relevant, and weird. You have to find the perfect costume that allows you to be a little bit of both. This often requires stressing and shopping for costumes on amazon multiple times at 3 in the morning before you find the perfect fit.

Especially if you have a party to go to.

6. No more light summer dresses.

When women have to get ready, it's usually a long process. Particularly for special events. In the summer, it doesn't matter whether it be a grad party, a baby shower, or even a wedding, a light summer dress is always appropriate.

7. Now that your summer wardrobe is almost complete, it's time to start working on your fall wardrobe.

I know, I know, it seems like you just finally got everything that you need to rock your summer style. All of the sudden, you need a few hundred more dollars to keep up your adorableness.

8. Everyone is trying to scramble to get their last summer trip in before the weather changes.

The beaches are packed, and if you didn't schedule a vacation in early June, most likely you won't have any luck finding somewhere to stay the last few weeks of August. That's the ultimate bummer.

9. Goodbye barbecues...

One fantastic thing about summer is being able to go outside and grill. When it gets to be fall, burgers just aren't the same.

10. Country music just isn't quite the same in September.

Unless it's 90 degrees and you've got your toes in the water and your you-know-what where, country music is depressing. It just reminds you of the good times when it was actually warm out.

11. The prospect of fall semester hanging over your head.

The true horror of summer coming to an end, is having to go back to school. No one is ever prepared for the reality off that. Now you have to go back to feeling guilty for those 24 hour Netflix binges.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
