My Favorite Color Is Black But Yes, I Still Have A Soul

A color that makes you look slimmer? Yes, please.

Black has always been my favorite color. Maybe I was a little scared to admit it at first since I thought people only wore black to funerals, but as my horizons have opened up and I realized that black was the color of boss a$ babes, I started to admit it loud and proud.

Why is black the greatest color? Let me count the ways.


1. It's super slimming for any body type.

A banging outfit that'll make you look thinner? Count me IN.

2. It commands the attention of everyone around you.

When you walk into the room, all eyes go directly to you. In the words of Nicki Minaj, "When I walk in, sit up straight. I don't give a f— if I was late."

3. The cat in Hocus Pocus was black (a.k.a. Thackary Binx) AND in Sabrina The Teenage Witch (a.k.a. Salem)

Two of the greatest characters to ever grace the TV screen. They eliminated the stigma around black cats being bad luck and stole the spotlight in their respective movie/show. This might seem silly, but just go back and watch these and then get back to me.

4. It goes with absolutely everything.

Black shoes, black pants, a black shirt, dying your hair black in a spur of the moment breakdown during finals week (...don't give me that look)—it all matches perfectly with every accessory!

5. It isn't specific to one season.

I don't know who made the rule that we can't wear white after labor day, but its annoying. However, black is always in season. Don't worry about getting sideways looks from your campus fashionista when you show up head to toe in black in the middle of the spring because it's the color that just won't quit.

6. It's the perfect excuse to wear those 'pop of color' pumps you bought on a whim.

Let's get real with each other—a pair of bright red pumps is almost harder to resist than chocolate. So, if you buy them with money you don't really have to spend, try not to worry too much. All of those wonderful, black clothes in your closet will accent them perfectly.

7. It can be both formal and casual.

Everyone has that staple pair of black leggings that we can't wait to whip out the second the temperature drops belong 65 degrees Fahrenheit. But the whimsical thing is, you can also rock black in the form of an evening gown any time, anywhere.

My point here is, don't be so quick to label people as lazy or soulless when all they do is wear black clothing. Black is the new fabulous, honey, and its time we all realized that.

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.
