Football Season, I Miss You

My life is not complete without you.

Football Season, I Miss You
the author

Let's get something straight, I miss football. The minute the Super Bowl ends, I'm ready for the next season. The real losers of the College Football Playoff? The fans who have nothing to watch until September.

But, there is something special about a 60 degree day in February, that makes you really miss it.

There is nothing I would rather do than sit in a parking lot somewhere listening to country music played as loud as it can go, surrounded by my favorite people, all dressed up in my favorite colors. There is something about standing there, singing along, with a certain drink in your hand (if you are of age, obviously) getting ready to go scream your heart out at your football team.

And, just to clarify, the tailgating is not the only thing that I miss about football season. I miss waking up with my day planned out, knowing that there is going to be something exciting that day. The sound of a marching band on the field or the announcers with their play by play. 60,000 people, all with one thing and one goal in common.

There is something magical about the game of football. Nothing feels more like fall that standing in a stadium with a slight crisp to the air. Cool enough for a sweatshirt, but not too cold you have to figure out how to wear 20 layers and still look like a normal sized human.

Ah, football season, please come back to us. We promise to shout louder, stand longer, and sing to our songs to the very best of our ability, if you just come back.

But, do us a favor, and bring this weather with you, because I cannot go back to standard February weather.

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.
