Fall, The Season Of Comfort

This is the best season for some of the best reasons.

Fall is an amazing season. It's actually my favorite season for so many reasons. It's the most comfortable season. It has many great things to offer. From seasonal treats to fun events, this season is one to be enjoyed by all.

During this season, there are many treats offered that are not usually available during the rest of the year. Candy apples are a sweet, sticky and enjoyable treat. Obtaining cavities has never been more enjoyable! Candy apples can be found in at local fairs, carnivals and other fall events. You can even make them at home. Unpopular opinion: Candy corn is a pleasant Halloween snack. I used to hate it, but now, I don’t mind it. It's also fun to use them as vampire teeth.

Fall is also sweater weather. As a person who loves wearing hoodies, I find this to be the most comfortable season to do so. It can be a light or heavy sweater. You won’t burn up from a heat stroke. You also don’t have to worry about freezing from not wearing enough layers. Let's not forget the sweater dresses. Because it is also football season, you can always wear that $50 NFL or SEC hoodie you bought. You can also wear “boots with the fur” without having your legs coated in sweat.

Halloween happens during the fall. This holiday is not just about the free candy that people give away. It also means dressing up in costumes. It's also one of the best times to see the neighbors yards decorated with pumpkins, ghosts, and scarecrows. The best Halloween films appear on SyFy and AMC throughout the month. I love horror films, so even if I don’t own them, I can count on AMC to air them. Let’s not forget watching “Nightmare Before Christmas” until December is over.

This is also the season of everything pumpkin. The pumpkin flavor has become a fall favorite. Pumpkin spice chai lattes are amazing. I first tried one during my freshman year of college. Ever since then, I have developed a taste for pumpkin. Another fall treat that I enjoy is pumpkin cider. It tastes like apple cider that contains a nostalgic pumpkin-like flavor. It brings back wonderful fall memories. For some reason, the flavor of pumpkin brings back old memories, and also a feeling of nostalgia. It seems as if with every passing year, there are more pumpkin-flavored foods including oatmeal, cereal, marshmallows and who knows what else.

Fall is also the season that I was born. I was born in the middle of October. Luckily, fall break has fallen right around my birthday every year during college. Because of this twist of fate, I have been able to go home each time. I have always been able to look forward to seeing my family and friends for my birthday. I also look forward to going to “Cruisin’ the Coast.” This event takes place along Highway 90 around Mississippi Gulf Coast. My father has been taking me to this event since I was a little girl. It allows people from different places to showcase their antique vehicles.

Fall is the best season of the year. Another great reason to love fall is that you can take long strolls or drives down the road and see the beautiful colors of the leaves and trees. The weather, clothing, food and events make it an outstanding time of the year to look forward to. It is the one time of the year that I would thoroughly enjoy a walk around town to get into the holiday spirit, which is 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.
