It's fall which means that the pumpkin spice craze has officially has begun though Starbucks went ahead than most of us and brought their pumpkin spice latte (PSL) during the summer on August 28th. As a person who loves the season of fall I don't understand the craze people have for pumpkin spice, especially pumpkin spice lattes.

Last year while working at Starbucks I made myself a PSL and it tasted basic and disgusting. I don't get it how people like the taste of pumpkin spice, maybe my taste buds are not for it, but I do find it ridiculous how pumpkin spice has taken over the food industry and it has to stop. Here are some examples of how pumpkin spice has taken over our world.

1. Cream cheese

Walmart

Pumpkin spice has made it into our bagels.

 2. Cereal 

Mr. Breakfast

What is wrong with the honey flavored Cheerios during fall?

3. Liquor 

Foodbeast

People are trying to get tipsy with pumpkin spice.

4. Coffee creamer 

I guess pumpkin spice lattes aren't enough.

5. Tea

Celestial Seasonings

Pumpkin Spice in tea does not seem like a bad idea.

6. Pancakes 

The recipe critic

I'll like my pancakes plain or with blueberries, no pumpkin spice please.

7. Pringles 

Classy Mommy

Original salty Pringles are the best, lets keep it that way.

8. Ice cream

KJRH

The idea of pumpkin spice in ice cream does not seem like a bad idea at all.

9. Yogurt 

Mmm no thanks.

10. Oreo cookies  

She Knows

I'm not surprised at this.

11. Peeps 

Dinosaur Dracula

Peeps got into the craze.

12. Sausage 

Reddit

I don't know how I feel about this.

13. Gum 

Total Sorority Move

Gum? Really? Come on people, what is wrong with minty breath during the fall?

14. Butter 

Hellogiggles

Land Lakes made pumpkin butter. Wow.

Pumpkin spice has gotten out of hand in, but the smell of it brings nostalgia. People love the taste of pumpkin spice because they love the idea that fall has begun and that the holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are on their way. I guess I get it then because who doesn't like the holidays!

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.
