Stop Being Boring And Dress Up For Halloween

We all know that one person who thinks they're too cool for a Halloween costume. Spoiler alert: they're not. Dressing up for Halloween is fun for everyone, and you're wrong if you disagree.

Halloween is a holiday that is always surrounded by an eerie excitement that can only be explained by colder weather, great food, classic movies, and COSTUMES. Whether you choose to be creative, bold, extravagant, or whatever else, putting on a costume is fun, and Halloween is one of the only acceptable times to do so.

Anyone who refuses to partake in dressing up for the occasion is truly a killer of joy. And their negative attitudes suck the fun out of everyone around them.

There are so many creative and fun ways to dress up that it should be illegal not to. You can take any costume idea and make it slutty. You can gender swap costumes in a creative way. You can use whatever you already have to make your costume. You can do couples' costumes. You can do group costumes. The possibilities are endless! You have to be truly lazy and boring to not put *something* together.

You can dress up as something classic and scary. You can dress as a Disney character. You can dress as your favorite TV show character or actor. You can dress up as a fictional book character. You can dress up as the "three-hole punch" version of yourself. Just dress up as something.

You can rely heavily on face paint or makeup. You can put together an extravagant costume that took you weeks to make. You can buy something from Party City. How your costume comes together doesn't matter, as long as it exists. There's inspiration everywhere!

If you're a parent, don't use your child as a cop-out to not dress up. If you have to work that day, do something subtle. The spirit of Halloween is in the thought behind your costume, not how great or ordinary it is. You're never too cool or old to dress up for Halloween.

So for the love of everyone who loves Halloween (which is pretty much everyone), please participate by putting the bare-minimum effort into a costume. Be a good sport, stop being boring, and dress up for Halloween.

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.
