5 Reasons Why Fall Is The Best Season
Rebecca Miller

Fall fall fall. I have always loved stepping outside into the crisp air without a glimmer of sweat on my brow. This feeling only comes once a year, and presides over my spring/summer fever that captures my interest and prevents any productive activity from entering my lifestyle. Thankfully, when fall finally comes, I am grateful for it's yearly return and resume attending to my favorite fall activities. These are my top five reasons why fall has my heart...

1. Fuzzy sweaters

Giphy

Being cozy-sweater-warm greatly over shines the scorching heat of the summer or the overwhelming bitter cold of the winter. This type of joyous warm only comes at one time during the year: the fall. The fall is the perfect in-between of the drastic temperatures that the United States throws at us, and sweaters allow us to combat the chill and surround ourselves in a blanket in public.

2. Leaves changing colors and falling

Giphy

Every time I look outside and see the leaves change color, I am immediately taken back to when I was younger and would play outside in the leaves. My dad would create a pile, nearing everest levels, and my brother, dog and I would charge ahead and dive in. This wonderful memory makes walking around the city, to snag a coffee or go to class, that much more enjoyable.

3. Gray skies

Giphy

UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT! My lack of a phD in meteorology has left me unaware of why the skies appear less blue and covered in a gray haze, but I am here for it. Gray skies seem to come with fall and leave the burnt orange terrain with a placid soothing background. I associate this image with the concept of crisp breezes and warm cinnamon smells, and I love walking outside knowing it's that time of year again.

4. Pumpkin spice

Giphy

Grab a pal, find some pumpkin spice, and experience the season. Seeing the pumpkin spice menu items, cued up and ready to go on a Starbucks board near you, is the first real sign that fall is approaching. There are endless options to get your fill of fall seasonings through your sense of smell, but pumpkin spice beverages are one of the main ways to consume fall for all its worth.

5. Cute jackets

Giphy

Tis the season of all beautiful wonders of the world. Aka Blair Waldorf's jacket collection. Enough said. *drops mic*

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.

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.
