Spooky Things To Do During COVID

This year, all of our lives look a lot different. That is a given. We are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and early voting has been taking over our communities because as a community we have a lot to say right now. We did not expect our year to look like this. Now, the holidays are coming up and it has been hard for me to get into the spirit. I have been thinking of some different ways to get into the spirit of Halloween coming up next week and I am hoping this momentum will lead into a memorable holiday season!

1. Go to a pumpkin patch. 

This is such a basic idea but it never fails. Many people make this a tradition during this season and I think there is no reason it should not continue. As long as you are remaining safe and following the COVID guidelines, I see no issue in enjoying a pumpkin patch with your friends. Gives you a chance to get out of the house and do something for once during this pandemic. Maybe even get some cute pictures!

2. Halloween movie night. 

Movie nights are the best kind of nights. Get a small group of your friends together, pop the popcorn, and watch as many of your favorite Halloween movies you can before passing out on the couch! Nothing is better than that. You could even go as full out as getting some Halloween candy and wine! Make it a fun night with your friends and who does not love a movie marathon?!

3. Pumpkin carving. 

I do not know about you, but I have not really had much experience in pumpkin carving but I have heard that it is so fun! It is messy, but always fun! When being stuck inside most of the time, this is something you could even do in the safety of your home. You might even surprise yourself with how good yours turns out.

4. Decorate to the MAX!

What better way to get into the spirit than decorating? I have seen some people go FULL OUT with their holiday decorations and I could not think of a better way to get yourself in the right mindset. I remember walking into my mom's best friend's house and being in absolute awe of their house and how it was decorated. I even said, "I forgot how close it was to Halloween." Her house immediately put me into the spirit and I felt it!

5. Go costume shopping! 

I do not think COVID should stop people from celebrating Halloween. Do not let it crush your spirit!!! Go out and get the best costume ever! Who knows, maybe a small group of friends will get together for Halloween or maybe just do a photoshoot because Halloween is one of the best holidays! Who knows, maybe you can even incorporate a mask into your costume! Dressing up is the best part and I do not think we should let COVID take that away!

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.
