Farewell Summer, Hello Fall

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." - Albert Camus

Farewell Summer, Hello Fall

As summer comes to an end, I know we all find ourselves looking for something to look forward to next. Although summer is my favorite season, fall is definitely a close second, and I can't wait for some of the activities fall has to offer.


1. Pumpkin

Not everyone loves pumpkin, but it's something that is so unique to fall. Whether you're having a pumpkin latte, a pumpkin muffin, or anything else flavored with the orange treat, pumpkin is always a good decision.

2. Fall Scented Candles

You know I'll be lining up at the doors of Yankee Candle and Bath and Body Works for those fall scented candles. Apple, cinnamon, marshmallow, coffee, and more; those are all smells I want in my apartment.

3. Changing Leaves

The drives to and from school in the fall are my favorite ones, because the views are incredible. Watching red, orange, and yellow trees lining the turnpike makes for an extremely pleasant and calming drive.

4. Bonfires

Even though bonfires are a summer thing as well, there's nothing like sitting by the fire with a cozy sweatshirt on and a cup of hot chocolate.

5. Holidays

First it's Halloween, then Thanksgiving. The fall holidays are some of the best. Halloween is full of friends, costumes, candy, and decorations, and Thanksgiving is a time for the three f's: family, friends, and food.

6. Fall Clothes

Fall clothes are the best clothes. Boots, sweaters, scarves, fuzzy socks, and more. I get so excited each year to shop for and wear fall clothes, and see what everyone else is wearing too.

7. Darker Nail Polishes and Lipsticks

All of the fall colors are coming out now, from plums to dark reds. The deeper colors match the cozy feeling of fall, and I can't wait for those colors to change.

8. Apple and Pumpkin Picking

I have a tradition with my mom each year where she comes up to school so we can go apple picking together and I always really look forward to it. You can make so many things with apples, or you can just eat them alone. Pumpkin picking is such a fun thing to do with friends and take pictures doing. I can't wait to put pumpkins around the apartment this fall.


Fall is such a great time of the year, and I can't wait to spend it with friends at school and with family at home as well. Fall is one of the coziest, tastiest, and most fun seasons. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, but don't be sad that it's ending, because there is so much to look forward to as fall begins. I wish everyone a wonderful end of summer, and I hope that I gave you some excitement for the months of fall to come.

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.
