Autumn's Minor Downfalls

Yes, pun intended.

Welcome to the season of PSL-obsession, scarf wearing, and the same pictures of people going apple picking. I think autumn is cool, don't get me wrong. I just think we sometimes forget the rough parts of fall, too. When you think about it, autumn really isn't as great as it seems.

1. The crazy weather.

Is it hot? Is it cold? I thought summer was over, but a 75-degree day doesn't sound much like autumn to me. And listen, warm weather is awesome, but not when I've already sent all my summer clothes home for the next six months!

2. Pumpkin spice overload.

I can be a "basic white girl." I'm not saying I don't love PSL season, because Pumpkin Spice Lattes actually give me life. But that being said, pumpkin spice Cheerios, yogurt, and tortilla chips are a bit far. And don't even get me started with the rumor of pumpkin spice Clorox wipes that was going around. Thank god that stayed a rumor.

3. Hurricane season.

The end of summer into the beginning of fall means hurricanes. This particular fall, we had Hurricane Matthew, which was so intense that Disney had to shut down. Disney. Shut. Down. Are you freaking kidding me? Hurricanes are the worst.

4. Allergens come out to play.

Jumping in leaves seems like a great idea until you remember that you are literally allergic to the earth. The leaves are changing, the weather swaps between hot as hell and freezing within days, and one person's lungs just can't handle the confusion!

5. Apple picking

Apple picking can be fun; I have a soul. But, it's overpriced, and you buy so many that they all go bad anyway! Especially on a college budget, when you can't buy the supplies to make different apple desserts. Here's an idea: go apple-picking in the supermarket, find a nice tree in your front yard, and take your cutesy pictures with your store-bought apples in front of your own trees. No orchard necessary.

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.
