5 Things You Must Do This October
marysmyth(NOLA13)

October is the best month to do fun activities with friends before the cold attacks and you’re too lazy to go out. This season the weather begins to cool down, the leaves change colors and the choices of places to go to and things to do are endless. Most significantly, it's the month for Halloween!

1. Watch Scary Movies

Whether they are the old-fashioned Halloween movies such as "Hocus Pocus" or more contemporary like "Insidious," scary movies are a must during this month. Stay in with your friends on a chilly night and binge watch marathons of scary movies. They are the best.

2. Go Apple Picking

The fall weather is perfect to go apple picking. It’s usually warm during the day and it gets cooler at night time, therefore, enjoy a good day with your friends and go to a nearby farm and pick some yummy apples.

3. Go to a Haunted Attraction

It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go to a real haunted house, but if you like the thrill of being scared, a haunted attraction or hayride is definitely a place where you should go during this month. The spookiness will have you screaming but it will also be a lot of fun.

4. Carve a Pumpkin

Pumpkins are a symbol that Halloween is arriving. Grab your friends and go to a nearby Pumpkin farm, pick pumpkins and get creative. They are also a great way to decorate your house by giving it a spooky feeling.

5. Go to Halloween Parties

Halloween parties are a must, and I repeat, a must. Dressing up as different characters is entertaining and amusing. Plan ahead with your friends what costumes you plan on creating or achieving and go to a spooky party.

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.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
