Fall, where you at?

Pumpkin patches, scarves, hot lattes, beanies, hay rides, sweaters, and more. Fall is every basic girl's favorite season, and for good reason. The crisp air and and cozy outfits fill my heart with joy. Every year I count down the days until September and I look forward to the moment the leaves start to turn those beautiful shades of orange and red. This year, Mother Nature must not have gotten the memo. These 90 degree days in the middle of September are getting old and you might be wondering if the Midwest is going to skip fall altogether this year. So, if you're ready for 60 degree days and bonfire nights, you've probably already done these things- maybe even weeks ago.


1. You've already lit your fall candles

My roommate and I busted out our fall scents a couple weeks ago. Bring on the cinnamon spice, cozy cabin, pine forest, pumpkin harvest, and more. Our apartment smells like a pumpkin patch mixed with baked goods and I couldn't be more happy. You could even say it's #lit

2. Your closet is filled with your fall wardrobe and it's begging to be worn

You already have your scarves, sweaters, riding boots, vests, and beanies on standby waiting to be worn. However, you don't dare wear them yet, because even though it might be 60 when you wake up, you'll be sweating your booty off by noon. Don't worry though, you're already prepared for when the weather decides to make up it's mind and actually commit to being fall.

3. Your house/apartment is already decorated and looks like a Pinterest board threw up on it

You already have your fall wreath on your door and those cute little white pumpkins on your coffee table. You decorated weeks ago in the hopes that the weather outside would get on board and that the temperatures would start dropping.

4. Ordered a PSL from Starbucks

Whether it's the original pumpkin spice latte or that salted caramel whatever-they-call it, the fall menu at Starbs is your fav and you probably went there the day it rolled out and order a grande....or four.

5. You keep checking the weather app

Whenever you've been looking forward to fall for weeks, but you still sweat whenever you walk outside because apparently it's still the middle of July outside, you keep checking the weather app to see when you will finally be able ditch your short sleeve tops. Don't worry though, eventually the temps will hit the 60's and all of us fall lovers will be jumping for joy.

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.
