Fall is Here

I love summer. I love swimming, snow cones, and no schoolwork. However, as August and now September roll around, I realize that there are a lot of good things about fall coming, especially in college.

1. Seeing your friends again

Getting a break from school is great, but that also means not getting to see a lot of your friends for three months. Hanging out with friends and catching up is always fun.

2. Football Season

The start of football season is one of the best times of the year. Football games are exciting and fun.

3. Clothing

Flannels, layers, boots, leggings, scarfs, and more. Fall clothing has so many great options.

5. Colder Weather

In the summer in Oklahoma the weather can reach well over one-hundred degrees. You sweat, a lot. It is always nice when the temperture starts to drop.

6. Leaves change colors

I love when the leaves change colors and fall from the trees. It is always so pretty. Also, jumping in piles of leaves never gets old.


7. Holidays are Coming.

Fall is coming and that means the holidays are too. I love Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

8. Fire places

There is something so relaxing about sitting by the fire. Whether it is a fire place or a bonfire it is very calming. S'mores are also pretty tasty.

9. Television

All your favorite television shows get renewed in the fall. No more reruns, all new episodes.

10. Food

Because of Thanksgiving and the cooler weather, there are a lot of foods that are much more common in fall. Pies, soups, and casseroles just to name a few. There is also hot chocolate, coffee, and cider that come back out for the fall. Fall is tasty when it comes to food.

I love summertime and everything about it, but there are many good things about fall coming back around.

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.
