If you are someone who loves fall as much as I do, you will understand how exciting it is to have warm days end in overly cool nights. In honor of fall being just around the corner here are a few things that make fall such a special season.

1. The chilly nights are the perfect sleeping weather. There is nothing better in the world than getting into bed and curling up in a big quilt and being toasty in your big blanket burrito.

2. ITS APPLE SEASON. Anything on the face of the earth can be bettered by adding apples. I don't think it would be humanly possible to be sick of any of the apple products produced throughout fall: from apple sauce, to apple pie, to apple turnovers, to apple cider - the options are endless and each one more tasty than the last.

3. The foliage. I am lucky enough to be from New England where leaf peeping is not only 100% acceptable but encouraged. Surveying the array of colors that spread over the multiple mountain peeks is the most breathtaking view, if you are not a native New Englander, I highly recommend at least one trip to see it for yourself. The pictures will never do it justice.

4. Corn Mazes. This is the perfect way to spend a Saturday where the sun is shining but the wind is chilly. Bring some friends and for few dollars you have an amazing time racing through a maze competing for prizes you typically don't want in the first place. It is an excellent way to make some amazing memories.

5. Flannels. Attending school in Vermont, flannels are kind of a given regardless of season. But there is something about fall that makes flannels seem a little more homey, more comfortable, and very fashionable. Everyday in fall is an acceptable day for a flannel.

6. Halloween. Regardless of how old you are Halloween is always a hoot. From trick-or-treating, to reverse trick-or-treating, to a good old fashioned soiree the options to celebrate are endless. The search for the best costume is always a unspoken competition, and seeing the creative ideas people come up with get better each year.

6. Caramel everything. For those of you who's every tooth is a sweet tooth, you will appreciate the overabundance of caramel covered everything and anything. If you are a caramel lover, then fall is the season for you.

7. S'mores around the fire. While fires are also a summer event, there is something a little extra heart warming about your friends gathering around a fire and making s'mores, or if you're extra adventurous, hot dogs over the open flame.

Fall is the season where the whole earth feels a little extra homey. The air is filled with a crisp nostalgia as everyone prepares for a long winter. Fall is the perfect chance to have a last hoorah before shoveling snow becomes a daily activity- so get out there an experience all the season has to offer before it passes you by!

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.
