7 Fall Activities to Get You in the Spirit
Lindsay Messina

Fall is one of the most beloved seasons, and it is most likely due to the fun activities that come with it. Fall is usually identified with cozy weather,

1. Carving/painting pumpkins

If you're not into the mess that comes with pumpkin guts and seeds, painting them is a great alternative!

2. Apple picking

Giphy

Many local farms offer this fun activity. Picking fresh food is a great way to get in the spirit and support local businesses. Plus the photo ops are great.

3. Haunted houses

Giphy

If you love being scared, and can't wait for Halloween, going through a haunted house is perfect. A lot of farms also offer haunted hayrides! Philadelphia has the Eastern State Penitentiary, which is an amazing haunted attraction each fall.

4. Making pies

Apple, pecan, and pumpkin pies are fall staples. Making pies can sometimes be a daunting task for beginners, but baking is all about fun!

5. Going halloween costume shopping

Giphy

Planning halloween costumes can be so much fun if you decide to coordinate outfits with your friends or significant other. If Halloween is still too far for you to think about, shopping for fall outfits is another viable option.

6. Scary movie night

Giphy

Hosting a scary movie night with your friends and family is a great way to get into the spooky spirit. There are hundreds of Halloween movies to marathon.

7. Hosting a Bonfire 

Giphy

Have a bonfire outside and roast marshmallows and hot dogs with your friends! The smell of bonfires always reminds me of perfect fall evenings with the people I love. It's also a great place to share scary stories with your friends in the dark.

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.
