When it comes to breakfast (or any time of day, for that matter), I'm an all-sweets kind of girl. Cereal is my go-to breakfast meal, and I've spent the last 21 years figuring out which cereal reigns supreme over the breakfast aisle. Here are the official results, according to me:

15. Vanilla Almond Special K

I just love the sweet flakes, crunchy roasted almonds, and yummy vanilla flavor of this cereal. My mom uses it for baking, but I just love eating it with milk.



14. Cap'n Crunch

All of the Cap'n Crunch varieties are delicious, but regular Crunch is my favorite. They look like tiny bricks of pirate gold, and they taste even better.



13. Frosted Flakes

Sugar, sugar, and more sugar.



12. Fruity Pebbles

Mixed fruit flavor in the form of crunchy cereal nibbles? Sign me up.



11. Honey Nut Cheerios

Because who would choose to eat regular Cheerios when you can eat better Cheerios that taste like golden honey?



10. Frosted Mini-Wheats

These little bundles of wheat and sugar are just too good to pass up. Although it's tempting to buy the off-brand stuff to save money, you definitely shouldn't because the original is way better.



9. Lucky Charms

I'm not even a marshmallow lover, but this cereal has been one of my favorite breakfast meals since childhood. I'm pretty sure that some people just pick out the marshmallows and leave the plain pieces behind, but it's all good.



8. Apple Jacks

I'll admit, this cereal tastes nothing like apples, but the cinnamon flavor is sooooooooo delicious.



7. Honey Graham Oh's

I've loved Oh's cereal ever since I was a kid. Every bite is so sugary and sweet and full of oatmeal bits.



6. Cocoa Puffs

What can I say? I'm addicted to chocolate, even at breakfast.



5. Honey Roasted Honey Bunches of Oats

It's the tastiest combination around of sweet flakes, granola, and honey-flavored goodness. If you like regular granola, you should try this sometime!



4. Waffle Crisp

I'm a sucker for all things maple-flavored, including cereal that's reminiscent of syrupy toaster waffles.



3. Reese's Puffs

What could be better than a cereal that tastes like chocolate and peanut butter (AKA two of my favorite foods)?



2. Cinnamon Toast Crunch

My husband and I absolutely adore CTC, for obvious reasons. It's like an upgraded cinnamon roll, and the crunch is oh-so-satisfying.



1. Life Cereal

Maybe it's the sweet transformation on traditional checkered cereal, or maybe it's the sugary flavor embedded within each bite, but Life cereal is my absolute favorite cereal of all time.



It's true that all cereal is wonderful, but only a few varieties have my vote in the end. What is your favorite kind of cereal?

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.
