This Fall, Follow These 5 Steps to Make Your Room The Cozy Cave You Deserve
Skyler Waugh

It's finally that time of year again, the time all Pumpkin Spiced Latte drinkers and apple pie lovers rejoice. For me, I make it my mission, the reason for the season if you will, to make my room as cozy as possible, even if it means being overwhelmed by every cinnamon scented candle out there. Here are 5 of the best tips I have to offer.

1. String Lights.

This is quick (and cheap!) addition instantly adds all the warm and magical feels needed for the Fall. Throw some pictures of your BFF's from the pumpkin patch last weekend and you're good to go.

2. Candles.

I just want to reiterate how important they are in creating a cozy environment. They add an instant warmth, comfort, and yummy scent in just about any space. Whether you're like me and have several lit at once or just one, you'll notice the difference right away.

3. Chunky knit blankets

I mean come on, look how comfy and cozy it looks. Pair it with some cute throw pillows and a faux fur rug to top it all off. An added bonus, if you're crafty or looking to get into a new hobby, they sell kits on Etsy or Amazon to make your own blanket.

4. Chill music playlists.

Basically 99% of my playlists are either of my top three artists: Bon Iver, Vance Joy, and Hozier. They're also my go-to's for whenever I'm trying to make my space calm and serene. Turn up the fireplace, grab your honey, and put on some nice Indie music for a cozy night in.

5. Add a Himalayan salt rock lamp.

Not only does this magical little salt rock give a soft glow to your room, it also is supposed to be packed with health benefits like air filtering. Despite if the health claims are true or not, at least it'll be a nice addition either way.

I hope your newly decorated room gives you all the cozy feels this Fall.

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.
