The Best Ways to Enjoy An Autumn Day

Fall is such a flawless transition from hot, humid summers to cold, icy winters. In between these two extremes, you have a few months of perfectly sunny and chilly days, which make you feel perfectly cool and warm all at the same time. The lower temperatures are welcome relief from hotter summers, and the feeling of the sun is just enough to make you feel perfectly cozy. Put on your favorite sweater, maybe a scarf or hat if it is chilly, and go outside and enjoy this short season filled with beautiful foliage, the perfect weather, and pumpkin spiced everything. Enjoy.

Football Games


Football games are the classic fall activity. Whether you go to a NFL game or your local high school's homecoming game, there is nothing quite like spending your fall days outside watching your favorite team.

Farmer's Market


Get out to your local farmer's market. Fall is the end of farmer's market season and is definitely not something to be missed. Purchase some fresh fruits and veggies, and enjoy the weather.

Nature Hike

Before things freeze over and snowfalls begin, get in a few last hikes of the season. Get outside and get some fresh air. If you go at the right time, the foliage will not disappoint. Enjoy the vibrant reds, greens, golds, and oranges and sit back and appreciate the beauty in nature.

Pumpkin Carving

A jack-o-lantern is a fall favorite and the best preparation for halloween. Go to a local pumpkin patch and pick out the biggest, smallest, or weirdest shaped pumpkin: whatever your heart desires! Get home and carve your jack-o-lantern for your front step. Don't forget to save the seeds; roasted pumpkin seeds are absolutely delicious.

Apple Picking

Another classic fall activity is apple picking. There is nothing like spending the day with your family and enjoying all the festivities that a farm has to offer. From haunted hayrides, to corn mazes, to the delicious apple cider doughnuts, a day at an apple farm will not disappoint.

Play in the Leaves

Yes, this is something you used to do when you were a kid. Why not now? Have a moment of carefree childhood nostalgia and jump in the leaves, have a leaf fight with your siblings, and just enjoy yourself for a moment (before you have to rake them up again!).

Bake

Fall is the perfect time to bake. Whether you make apple pies with fresh apples, roast pumpkin seeds, or even treat yourself to a pumpkin pie, fall baking is a time of warm desserts topped with whipped cream and some vanilla ice cream. Dessert is the best way to treat yourself after a lengthy fall hike!

All of these activities are a great way to come together with family and friends and enjoy fall. Fall is the beginning of the holiday season with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all inching closer and closer. Enjoy the weather, the beautiful foliage, and the company that you are with. There is so much to be thankful for.

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.

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.
