17 Reasons Fall Is The Best Time Of The Year
Carlise Warner

Winter is coming, but fall is honestly better.

1. Sweater Weather

It's the perfect time to curl up in a sweater and watch your favorite shows

2. Pumpkin spice everything

Call me basic. I love pumpkin spice, and you should, too. It's the flavor of fall, but I could totally go for pumpkin spice year-round.

3. Falling leaves

There is nothing more satisfying than the crunchy sound they make when you walk. It's calming, really/

4. Haunted houses (if you like them)

I don't, but my friends do. I prefer to not pay to be scared, but to each his own.

5. Corn mazes

Nothing says fall like wandering through a cornfield, and failing to do it very well.

6. Apple cider

Warm, specifically. Can you taste it? With a cinnamon stick? Yum!

7. Carving pumpkins

Get messy, have fun, and be creative. Who cares if the finished Jack-O-Lantern looks nothing like you planned?

8. Halloween

You have an excuse to dress up, and buy discount candy the day after. Sign me up!

9. Thanksgiving

An entire holiday devoted to food. What's not to love?

10. BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING

The day after the holiday devoted to food, and a little bit the day of, devoted to SHOPPING with crazy deals.

11. Blankets

Curl up with a fuzzy blanket and veg all day. Blankets don't judge!

12. Bonfires

Friends, heat, blankets, s'

mores. I am here for that!

13. Walking to class and not breaking a sweat

There is nothing worse than getting to class and trying to act like you're not sweating. In Fall, you don't have to!

14. Football season = tailgating

I'm not much of a football fan, but I am quite a bit of a hot dog and hamburger fan!

15. Fall-scented candles

Toasted marshmallow, pumpkin spice, apple pie, apple cider, fallen leaves...

16. The colors are calming

They're not too bright, but there is still variety. We all know variety is the spice of life!

17. The decorations

Go to a Hobby Lobby or craft store and just TRY not to look at the decorations. Go on, I dare you.

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.
