10 Signs You're Unapologetically Ready For #PSL Season, Even If It's 110 Degrees Out

Fall is just around the corner, and with all of the color changing leaves and pumpkin spice lattes to welcome your favorite season, here are some more signs that you can't wait.

Autumn time is precious in my heart and I know in many others, too. It is beautiful weather, a perfect time to get close to your family and just be happy in general.

1. Smelling the air for the crisp, fall scent.

One of the best things about autumn is being able to walk to class or go to work with the windows rolled down because of the wonderful and refreshing feeling you get with the cool and crisp air that fall brings. So, if you are walking outside and you sniff the air when a cool breeze blows by, you may be ready for fall.

2. Prematurely pulling out the sweaters and leggings.

If you are pulling out your favorite sweaters, hoodies, and leggings from the previous years, or going out to buy new ones, you are totally craving autumn. Every day you will walk past that stack of fluffy, cozy, warm clothing that you pulled out of storage and remember that you are one day closer to being able to wear it daily.

3. Already looking for Halloween-themed food in grocery stores.

If you're anything like me, the first thing that I do when it gets to be September is go to the local grocery store and look for all of the Halloween themed cereals, Oreos, and sugar cookies I can find. Searching for things like Count Chocula cereal, or the sugar cookies with the Halloween pictures printed on them, or the orange creme Oreos, can mean that even your taste palette is looking forward to the Halloween season.

4. You are already asking about the PSL at Starbucks.

Pumpkin spice lattes are seemingly the staple food for the fall season. If looking desperately at the Starbucks menu and finding this drink makes you ecstatic inside and makes you want to put on riding boots and a knit scarf, then you are so ready for autumn.

5. You're looking forward to bonfires with your friends.

This one is pretty self-explanatory. I know I am already planning the late-night, hot chocolate-induced giggles with your friends around a fire.

6. You're already dreaming of your Halloween costume.

Something cute or something scary, some kind of costuming for Halloween is on your mind.

7. You're getting rid of the tied up hair.

Over the summer, it is essential to have long hair tied up in a bun or a ponytail to keep it off your sweating back. As the cooler air begins to come around, taking your hair down and allowing the hair tie dent in your hair to relax makes you realize that the 'hair-down' season is about.

8. You're not as miserable being outside.

During the first few months of fall, it can still be super hot outside and it is completely awful to walk to class or get in your car after it sitting in the sun all day, but as the months go on and the sun is a little further from us, it is nice to finally not walk outside and immediately start sweating.

9. You can't wait for horror movie marathons to come on TV.

Everyone's favorite part of autumn is finally being able to turn on the television and seeing that channels have started playing classic horror movies like "Halloween" and it's sequels, "Monster House," and other throwback movies.

10. You're excited for your electricity bill to be lower cause you can open your windows.

The air this time of year is crisp and fresh, and it's perfect weather for airing out the house after a whole summer of being closed up. Cracking open the windows and doing a thorough cleaning is the perfect way to welcome the new season and prepare yourself for the beautiful weather to come.

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.
