Your SUNY New Paltz Fall Bucket List

It's everyone's favorite time of year at Newps once again! The leaves are changing color, the temperature is slipping, and everyone is feeling rather spoopy. You may be asking yourslef, how can I make the absolute most of the fall season this year? Well, you're in luck. Here is an all inclusive list of must-do's this fall at New Paltz!

1. Pick all of the apples in the Hudson Valley.

I mean it, go wild grabbing all those Granny Smiths off the trees! This way you get to eat 6 apples a day for the next 4 weeks just to make sure you get through them all before they go bad.

2. Get at tic while taking #Fall pics at the Nyquist-Harcort Wildlife Preservation.

Who doesn't love a little Lyme's disease with their artsy photographs?

3. Bathe in Robitussin from the Health Center.

Whether you've contracted strep, whooping cough, or scarlet fever, Robitussin is the answer to all of your physical woes.

4. Get a pic on the Rail Trail for your Snap Story.

Deceased foliage is just too aesthetically pleasing to pass up this one.

5. Watch 18 hours worth of indie psychological thrillers.

Ok so maybe you're not doing that research paper, BUT you are using your brain to figure out if the Babadook is actually a spirit or simply a figment of their subconscious grief psyche...so you're actually working harder!

6. Host a Rocky Horror and hang for the remake premiere where exclusively Frank N. Furter costumes are mandated for entry.

Not that anyone could wear it better than Tim Curry, but still...no fish nets, no party for you.

7. Go out of your way to step on the leaf piles.

It doesn't matter if you're already late to Human Biology, the rustling crunch of dead leaves is an experience that surmounts the first ten minutes of that lecture.

8. Carve a gord.

For pumpkins are far too predictable and cliche.

9. Drop your phone off a mountain while trying to snap a pic of the view from your hike.

Should have invested in that GoPro.

10. Summon the spirits of Haunted Huguenot Street.

You too can have your very own French colonial woman ghost complicate your life even further! Just stop by Huguenot Street and piss one off.

11. Run to Salvation Army for cheap flannels since you only brought summer clothes in August.

If you aren't in a flannel, do you even believe in fall?

12. Sell tickets to watch Halloweentown in your dorm because you got cable, candy corn, and cage-free chicken nuggets in the micro-fridge.

May as well capitalize wherever you can. You'd be surprised what 20 year olds would do for Aggie Cromwell.

13. Go to class in Birkenstocks with socks.

If you're cringing, you clearly haven't tried it yet and let me just say, you're missing out.

14. Spend your life savings on 14 different Halloween costumes.

Then just live the minimalist life for the next eighteen weeks following Halloweekend.

15. Attend an exorcism.

Roommate been extra annoying lately? It can't hurt to attempt to lift the devil from their being, what do you have to lose?

16. Fail your midterm.

I'm not saying this is a goal, sometimes it's just an inevitable fate.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
