Here are some of my recommendations for your reading list this spring (or summer, fall, or winter).

Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Anything by Fitzgerald just screams spring, but this one is extra springy. It even begins with a vacation.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Romance is the name of the game here, and what more is spring than a season of love?

Flux by Orion Carloto

Poems always bring about the feeling of regeneration to me, and this beautiful collection is no exception.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Journeys, adventure, and coming of age? Yes please!

Selected Poems by Robert Frost

Again, poems and regeneration, and Robert Frost's relation to nature is like no other.

The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider

This one's a bit of a sad one, but it just feels like a teen movie right before summer begins. Prom anyone?

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

This is more or less a biography of Hadley Richardson, one of Ernest Hemingway's many wives. It details her life in Paris, which could not be more spring-esque.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Maybe it's just because I read this one for the first time in spring, but Harper Lee really hits hard this time of the year.

Poems by Emily Dickinson

Poems and Emily Dickinson. Need I say more?

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Between the forgotten garden and the mystery here, this one is kind of obvious as to why it's on here.

Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge

For all my ladies out there this one discusses becoming more comfortable in your femininity, and spring feels so uniquely feminine to me.

The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman

Learning how to love yourself, your friends, and significant others is so important, especially in a season where everything is changing.

The Sacred Enneagram by Christopher L. Heuertz

This one's all about learning yourself, which is perfect for a spring cleanse period.

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

Farm life, a freckled girl, and just overall feelings of sunshine give this one a spring seal of approval.

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Jo March and her book writing is hugely self love based, and I think that's a big thing during springtime.

Whether it be spring or fall, these are all great books that you're guaranteed to enjoy.

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.
