Now that things are getting busy with classes and sports, it's so easy to forget about yourself and really take a break from the chaos. The cold weather has started to sink in and there's a whole new batch of fall activities to go do. Don't forget to take a few minutes for yourself this autumn with a few suggestions down below!

1. Make time for yourself!

Fall is when school and classes are getting back into full swing, and it's easy to forget to make time for yourself. Give yourself even just a half hour to do something you love, even if it's just going for a walk or reading a chapter in a book.

2. Spend time with people you love 

Spend as much time as you can with friends and family.

3. Try out a new hobby

4. Drink spiced cider.

Or mulled cider, or just fresh cider. You can't go wrong with any of them.

5. Bake with apples!

Make apple crisp or apple muffins, both are delicious.

6. Slow down and savor the moment 

It's all too easy to get caught up in everything that's going on in life, and it's easy to forget to just slow down and take a look around.

7. Enjoy warm pj's and socks 

Everyone loves fuzzy socks, you can't even argue.

8. Make a soup or stew 

When the weather is cold, nothing warms you up like a hot cup of soup.

9. Go to a Farmer's Market 

Support local! You can buy fresh produce for usually a cheaper price, plus it's a perfect excuse to take your next insta-photo.

10. Decorate pumpkins or make pumpkin bread

Who doesn't love carving or painting pumpkins? If baking isn't your thing, Starbucks has a pumpkin roll to die for!!

11. Write down what you want to let go of 

Now that the leaves are letting go of their trees, it's a sign for you to let go of whatever it is that's dragging you down.

12. Go on a nature walk or hike

Explore your local community and find a gorge to stroll through and take beautiful photos of the changing leaves. Or even just take a walk down Main Street and grab a coffee.

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.
