The Time is Nigh for October

Let us get our spooky on.

The Time is Nigh for October

The month of October is here! With the new month beginning, the many exciting Fall rituals and events will begin. Ugg boots, sweatpants, oversized sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, and Halloween will all be starting or happening this month, and some will continue on until the end of Winter. So strap on those oversized clothing items and shoes; here are some activities some might want to start or join in on!

Horror movies are an essential part of Halloween. Even if you are a big wuss like me and do not want to watch them, they still need to be watched. Or at least watch something suspenseful, which I can do. However, whatever Halloween horror films you are looking forward to watching this month, plan on making a weekend out of it. Gather a few friends, make some ghoulish treats, gather all the soft cozy blankets, light some candles, and watch all the movies in one or two weekends. Something about friends and a movie marathon makes life problems go away for a solid weekend.

Next event that could be done that is not as spooky as the last idea is going to a pumpkin patch. Pumpkin patches aren't just for kids or toddlers, but adults too! There is something special about searching around in a pumpkin patch and finding the one. Just in case you lack the skill of picking a decent partner to date, pick the perfect pumpkin for you. It won't leave you out of the blue or eat all the pizza. Plus it does not nag at you, it just stares at you happily (if you gave it a happy face, that is).

Some other events that might be going on might even be at one of your local shops, whether it is just a sale or a raffle going on at a particular place, stop by and check the goodies out! Maybe there are costume contests happening at a craft store nearby, or even better, Halloween items going 80% off. Take the time to peruse around the neighborhood market and check out the Fall selections.

Just in case none of these call to you, you can also create an old fashion Halloween party. Those never get old. Or if you are a bit on the shy side, you could always binge watch Hocus Pocus and all the Casper movies in one night. There are no limits to the fun you could have during the month of October, you could even go outside now that it's not 100 degrees! Well, currently it's still that hot for us, sadly. Worse comes to worse, if you do not have the time to watch a movie or party, play some Monster Mash while you clean the house or some other spooky music.

There is no limit or chosen way to celebrate the month of October, whether it be going to Starbucks and getting the seasonal drink, or just jamming out to a Halloween tune, as long as you are celebrating, I'll like you a bit more than I did yesterday and you will probably feel the same too.

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.
