Growing up in the 518 (upstate New York) definitely had its pros and cons. Mostly cons, considering there is really nothing for teens to do all year besides go to Crossgates or eat at the infamous "76". Every season in the area has some pros as well. In the Winter you can ice-skate at the Capitol, in the Spring you can go to the St. Patty's Day Parade and Tulip Fest and in the Summer you can pretty much have an outdoor party at SPAC (when you're not boating or walking around "LG"). The Fall is by far the best seasons. Only the people who grew up here understand why. So don't forget to stop at these prime spots before Winter.


Thacher Park

Every girl in the 518 goes to the ledge and takes a fall foliage picture. They usually all look the same but somehow I always seem to like every single one of them on social media.

Toll Gate Ice-cream

If you've never been here it was a wasted trip to Thacher Park. Definitely spot you must stop at on the drive home no matter what season.

Bowman's Orchard

Where else do you actually pick apples and get donuts? Bowman's Orchard is THE place to be mid-October. Don't believe me? Check the locations on the insta pics.


Double M

Admit it, you go every year and it never gets any better. The hayride gets worse and the crowd gets younger.

Fright Fest

We have the worst Six Flags out of them all but somehow we still drag ourselves there or atleast plan to go to. It's usually free anyway because we all have a season pass.

Stop at your fav ice-cream spot

Fall is the last time you can get the BEST ice-cream in the 518 before all the stands close down. So hurry and buy quarts of your favorite flavors before they're gone until spring.

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.

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.
