Growing up in New England has taught me a lot of things. Wicked isn't a bad thing, bubblers don't make bubbles at all, and Autumn here is an experience like no other. What makes Autumn special is not just the trees, it's the New England Patriots. Often times I take being a Pats fan for granted, especially when I talk to some friends who are Giants, Jets, Bills, and Jaguars fans. Being a Patriots fan defiintely has it's perks which I'm going to point out for you here.

1. Having Bill Belichick as a Coach

The Hoodie truly is a one of a kind individual, from his melancholy personality to his unique outfits. Billy Brilliant never fails to put a smile on my face, even though he never has one on his. Not to mention his A++ press conference answers. Any time the guy takes the podium he is guaranteed to have some money quotes.

2. Having Tom Brady as a QB

TB12 man, nothing better. Living in the Tom Brady generation is truly a blessing, my dad used to tell me stories of old shmucks like Steve Grogan, Jim Plunkett, and Tony Eason. None of these guys really move the needle for me but mention Tom Brady and I'm all ears. Not just the greatest Quarterback ever, but definitely one of the best guys out there. A great arm, great looks, and great personality.

3. Never being out of a game

On the rare occasions that the Patriots find themselves behind a game, you never truly feel like it's over for the Pats. With Brady at the helm, no game is ever out of reach. Just look at all the come from behind victories he's had in the past, and you'll feel a sense of assurance when the ball is in Tom's hands.

4. GRONK

Yo Soy Fiesta himself, Gronk is the best anti patriot, patriot. Talk about quotes, the man has numerous note worthy quotes. Whether it be "Yo Soy Fiesta", or when asked about who scrambles better between Jimmy G and Brady, Gronk said, "Nobody makes scrambled eggs better than me". Then there are his outlandish actions. Whether it be taping 69 on his jersey or polishing off a nip during the Superbowl parade, Gronk is always down for a good time.

5. Weekly $0.87 iced coffees

I don't know if other teams do this, but around here if the Patriots win a game the next day coffee is 87 cents when using your Dunkins app. The good thing about the Patriots is that they don't lose, so every week you'll get a cheap coffee thanks to the boys in white and blue.

6. Patriots Place

Due to the Patriots success, Bob Kraft has been able to put a lot of money into not just the organization, but in the surrounding area. By building Patriot Place around the stadium numerous clothing stores, department stores, and my favorite, restaurants have opened up making the fans expirence that much better.

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.
