Unpopular Opinion: I Don’t Like Fall

If you eat and drink everything pumpkin spiced, DO NOT READ.

I am not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but I, personally, do not look forward to Fall. Of course, I love to watch football games, and my favorite article of clothing BY FAR is a sweatshirt, but this just isn't enough for me to love Fall the way everyone else seems to.

I love coming back to school and apple cider, but Fall represents the end of Summer. My time to relax and lay in the sun is over, and to me, seeing the leaves change a bunch of different colors is, although beautiful, just not worth it. When I see all those "Yeah, Summer is great and all, but what about Fall and all the (blah blah blah)…" tweets, I really want to report their post as spam.

You might think I am dramatic for feeling so strongly about a season, but there are so many things romanticized about Fall that I just can't relate to. Maybe if I liked pumpkin spiced lattes more, I would love the season associated with it. But, when there are holidays like Christmas, and movies like "The Polar Express", it is just sooo hard to get super psyched over Halloween and "The Nightmare Before Christmas". I'll give it to you, Fall, "Hocus Pocus" and the "Halloween Town" movies are good, but I just overall feel like Halloween is overrated when you're older… and this is coming from someone whose favorite food is candy.

Listen, I am not one to judge! If you put pumpkin spiced flavoring (I'm not sure if that's how it works) on your eggs, YOU DO YOU. I am so glad Fall brings you so much joy, but I just will not participate in any celebrations or spooky spells for the cold weather. You will see me in a sweatshirt, watching a football game, drinking hot chocolate, but I will NOT be ecstatic about it. With that being said, if you want to go apple picking, definitely hit me up, I am always down for an adventure (and I love apples)!

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.
