Ever since I can remember I have LOVED Halloween. The costumes, candy, pumpkins, and fall food has always been the best part of my year. It is a time to be curled up and cozy while eating warm harvest foods and watching The Nightmare Before Christmas ten times with no judgment. Growing up everybody around me always loved Christmas or the 4th of July, but I always thought Halloween was the best, and this is why:

​1. You can eat three packs of Reece's and nobody will bat an eye

Candy is SO GOOD. Let me tell you. Once fall hits and Halloween rolls around, we are ending the dieting and "bikini body" season, and to commemorate your last four months of Kale, you can binge on KitKat's and there is absolutely no judgment. Ration your candy, or don't. I'll be with you in the sugar rush for sure.

2. You have an excuse to watch spooky movies

For all of my spooky friends, this is absolute GOLD. All the creeps come out and everybody is finally down to watch all of the Halloween and scary movie classics. I mean common' you get to watch Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, AND Halloweentown. Nuff Said.

3. The best holiday decorations ever

You get to decorate your own house and enjoy everyone else's. You know when you were a kid, and you had that one neighbor that would go HAM for Halloween, yeah, they are the best. They always had awesome candy and the coolest costumes. There are even some families that have stay outside and scare people, how fun is that??

4. Haunted houses

It is the only time of year that you can scream until you pee yourself, walk around in a stranger's cornfield legally, and eat caramel apples all at the same time. Haunted houses/mazes are so fun. You can bring all of your friends, a new date, your family, the possibilities are endless. Whoever you choose to go with, it is always a good time.

5. You get to be whoever you want for a day

COSTUMES. You can make them, you can buy them, you can go as yourself and say that you are being an anarchist. There is really something for everyone. You know that Pre-Med major that you dropped? Be a doctor for a day, live the dream without the commitment (and the tuition) (and the blood).

6. You don't have to buy presents

No need to save up for 10 months to enjoy Halloween. No getting gifts and no giving gifts. You just get to spend time with your friends and family. Splurge as little or as much as you want to live your best life during all of the Fall festivities.

All around, Halloween is so much fun. For all of my Christian friends out there, don't feel weird, you are not the only one who is OBSESSED with all things fall (including Halloween). If you are someone who has never celebrated it, maybe give it a go. Halloween is my very favorite holiday and it might become yours too.

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.
