I don't know about you, but I've heard enough about Pumpin Spice Season. What happened to the season that is actually approaching? The Fall! I'm sick of seeing Fall overshadowed by a beverage, so here is a list of 5 other things we all love about the Fall.

1. The Leaves.

As a kid from a state with a ton of seasonal change, Fall by far takes the cake. Crunchy leaves are more than just nature's litter, they are a godsend. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then I guess growing up in Florida was trash. Not only are they incredibly fun to jump onto (a pile obviously don't just jump on the fucking ground Sharon) but they make for some serious majestic and awe-inspiring foliage.

2. The Hoodies.

Hoodies are more than just a fashion accessory, they are a way of life. Okay maybe I'm exaggerating, I just really love wearing hoodies. Another reason to love the Fall, it's literally the definition of hoodie weather. Sure, Winter rolls around and you might catch some deranged freaks trying to pass off a hoodie for a jacket in 30-degree weather, but those guys are usually fat anyway. In the meantime, you go on with your hoodie rocking self!

3. Picking.

Whether its apples or pumpkins, Fall is the perfect season to grab your snot-nosed kids and/or borderline alcoholic friends and get to some picking. I myself spend about 20 minutes marveling about how pretty everything looks and then around 4 hours complaining about the weight of the apples and asking whether or not it's time for some cider. Heads up, I might be the alcoholic friend. No matter what this Fall exclusive activity turns out to be for you, it's worth doing.

4. Daylight Savings Time.

You know the one in the Fall. The one that makes you feel like the day is never ending, where sleep feels just a little deeper. The one with the extra hour. We are scorned in the Spring with the vicious and quite frankly rude loss of an hour. But the Fall makes up for it all once a year with a magical day where you can stay up late or sleep extra, and no one can tell the difference. I think it's safe to say that we're grateful and this totally outshines a stupid latte.

5. Halloween.

Halloween Decorations

Now if this one wasn't obvious, I don't know what to tell you. If you know of my affinity for horror movies (here is a list of 10 Perfect Horror Flicks for Fall), you already know that nothing beats Halloween. Fun parties, it's socially acceptable to eat candy at any time of the day and spooky decorations, it's all here. Whether you're a kid dressing up and trying to get candy or an adult dressing up and trying to get laid, there is definitely something for us all.

So, there you have it! 5 more things to love about Fall, though odds are you already loved them anyway. Did your favorite things about Fall make the list? And no, we don't care about your birthday. Well maybe a little, anything to get you to shut up about this PSL.

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.
