November Is NOT A Lame Month
AY Mag

With everyone still slightly hungover from Halloween, and highly anticipating the Christmas celebration to come, November tends to be overlooked and unappreciated. I must admit, sandwiched right in between Fall and Winter, the timing is slightly awkward. However, this next month is actually packed with a ton of fun things to look forward to, filling November with even more potential than ever before...

8. Election Day.

After months and months of endless political debate, scandal, and just general lunacy, it's finally time to see who will be officially heading into the Oval Office come January #SOS

7. Warm Drinks.

November means a full intro to all of this season's newest, comfiest latte flavors. The consistent cold weather also means you can finally commit to hot coffee again, abandoning iced until Spring.

6. Seasonal Foods.

November's produce simply can't be beat. Here's to an endless amount of perfect apples, brussel sprouts, potatoes, kale, pumpkins, and squash!! Cozy winter meals FTW.

5. Beards, Mustaches, Goatees, and Sideburns.

Both "No Shave November" and "Movember" mean this month signals a general increase in facial hair, everywhere you turn. Who doesn't appreciate some good scruff?

4.The Apparel.

As the temperature keeps dropping, the amount of available accessories actually continues to increase! There's nothing better than being able to complete an outfit with a trendy new scarf/hat/gloves.

3. Holiday Cheer.

When does Christmas season actually start? Who knows. Coming soon: toooons of festive lights, decorations, music, and holiday TV specials.

2. Endless Shopping.

If November means one thing, it's an infinite amount of excuses to shop. Black Friday, Cyber Monday--the sales this month are actually unreal.

1. Stuffing.

Clearly this post wouldn't be complete without mentioning Thanksgiving!!! For us college students, this means finally heading home for some much-needed family time, a good night's sleep, and so. much. fooooood.

No matter what people may say, November can't be beat. Bye, Haters.

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.
