That time of year is upon us: the sun sets early, the temperature drops, and our motivation seems to entirely disappear. It happens to the best of us as we all struggle to stay energized in a newly cold and dark world. But while the bitter months of Winter may bring some harsh seasonal changes, Winter also brings a lot of fun. These are just a few of the many reasons why cold months are the best months to enjoy:

1. It's finally sweater weather!

I may not be a fashion expert, but that doesn't stop me from getting excited as soon as the temperature falls. Cold weather is the perfect time to bust out your warm, cozy sweaters, your cute Winter boots, and the scarves that you love (a little too much)!

2. The holidays!

As soon as you hit the first one - Halloween - the fun, family holidays just keep coming! In the blink of an eye, you're eating a delicious, homemade meal with your loved ones on Thanksgiving. Suddenly, you're bustling to buy the perfect gift in preparation for Christmas or Hanukkah! And by the time you're settling down for that New Year's kiss, you won't believe how fast all the fun and excitement flew by.

3. The snow is beautiful

Admittedly, a beautiful snowfall in the eyes of one person is a back-breaking chore in the eyes of another. All the same, no one can deny how pristine and beautiful the world looks after waking up to an untouched layer of snow. If it wasn't so much cold, hard work (and if the snow could only stay white), I wouldn't mind having it year-round!

4. It's perfect cuddle weather

Although the Summer is warm and sunny, the heat can get uncomfortable; you sweat, you stick to everything, and you just can't snuggle up to the people who you love. That's why Winter has the perfect cuddle weather! When you're both desperate for body heat in the midst of the freezing cold, you can lay in each other's arms and share the love and warmth.

5. There are fun ways to stay warm!

I'm the type of person who loves to feel cold solely for the sake of making myself warm again. With the help of thick blankets, fuzzy socks, and a fireplace, the raw, Winter chill doesn't stand a chance against me!

6. Seasonal activities

Cold months are the perfect months to let go and just have fun. There are snowmen to build, snowy hills to sled, cookies to bake, decorations to hang, presents to buy, and plenty of irreplaceable memories to make! That being said, if you're the type of person who gets flustered with the holiday season, take a moment to realize all that you could be missing. Just slow down and remember that you deserve to enjoy the season too!


7. Delicious food!

Winter is the perfect time to enjoy your favorite comfort foods! From the holidays leftovers of turkey and stuffing, to the freshly brewed goodness of velvety hot chocolate, there isn't a better time of the year to indulge!

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.

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.
