The First Day of Fall

Flannels, pumpkins, and candy corn.

The First Day of Fall

I am a significantly happier person from September-January. Why you may ask? It's the cold weather and holiday season. I know there are a lot of people that love the summer and beaches and that's great and all, but the holidays are the happiest time of the year! And the first day of fall is officially the season of happiness.

First, lets just review a few basic Tumblr meme activities that you can do in the fall. Pumpkin patches, I mean c'mon who the hell doesn't love the pumpkin patch? There are pumpkins, apple cider, hay rides, cute little kids dressed as pumpkins and candy corn. You can go to orchards and pick apples all day long in your cute little flannel and L.L. Bean boots and get your friends to take candid pictures of you. #FallAF. You can go to haunted houses that you secretly love to hate and bring your boyfriend so you can bruise his arm with a death grip while going around a corner. Carving pumpkins is so hard but who the hell cares cause it's so fun! You could carve a circle in a pumpkin and call it a day as long as you do it with people you love. Also, who doesn't love to pretend that pumpkin guts are something out of a horror movie that you can throw on your friends?

Oh and don't even get me started on fall apparel. Extremely large scarfs? Yes, girl, yes. You look ugly today? Wrap that scarf up to your eyebrows and head out the door. Leggings. I cant even put into words how I feel about leggings. They are fashionable pajama pants that go with literally everything, go buy a pair. Flannels, more importantly, your boyfriend's XL flannel. Yeah, pair that with leggings and boots and your basically a beautiful lumberjack. Vests. They give you no warmth, I mean who the hell decided to cut off a jacket's sleeve? Anyway, pair that with any long sleeve t-shirt and you automatically go from a 3 to 7 on the fashion scale.

And how can we forget about fall scents? Every year I drop so much money on autumn flavored candles. Pumpkin Spice, Vanilla Almond Falling Leaves, Fire pit Flannel Pumpkin, Maple Leaf Pumpkin, the list goes on. It doesn't matter if they all smell the same, I want to bathe in them. Oh looky there, Target has pumpkin spice body wash? Done, where's the checkout.

All in all, fall is a ball (yeah I know, I couldn't help myself). Bring out the large comfy clothes, grab some pumpkins and snuggle up with friends and family. Oh and don't forget the hard apple cider.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
