Put a sweater on and enjoy fall as it approaches

Tis the Season for Fall
Kaitlyn Moore

Fall is the best time of year. There are a million reasons why fall is the best season, so I will just list a few for you. For one, there is apple cider! And for all the pumpkin lovers that can drink pumpkin in 100 degree weather, there is pumpkin everything!

The leaves change colors, which makes the landscapes look like a painting. It makes you take a step back, and appreciate things you never fully notice in the summer.

Next comes, sweater weather! Where you get to break out all those sweaters that make you sweat just by looking at them in the summer. Hay rides and corn mazes are a fun fall activity. Even though I always get lost every single time I enter a corn maze. Picking out your pumpkin to carve, is the best. The smell of cinnamon is the air every place you go, which makes every place cozy and warm. Picking out a bundle of apples to make homemade apple pie or applesauce is always a great thing do on rainy days. And we know there are plenty of rain days during fall.

Between my friends and I, it is always a competition to see who can get the biggest pumpkin. Or, who can carry the heaviest one, without dropping it. So for me, thats about four pounds. Roasting the pumpkin after you carve, is such a tasty treat.When I was younger, I never use to eat them. Also, something you can only find around this time of the year is those cartel apple lollipops, which are a must have. Being older, they are one of my favorite things about the season. When carving pumpkins, my family makes it a serious activity. We picked the highest skill level of carving, and sit there for about two hours, focusing on our design.

Decorating for Halloween is one of my favorites, except for when the fake spider webs get caught in absolutely everything I am doing. But the fact that you can go any way with your decorations is fun. Drinking hot chocolate and making amores around bonfires is the highlight of the season. Getting so close to the bonfire, that if you go any closer you may melt, but it is too cold the farther away you get. With the arriving of fall means the best holidays are coming up. Halloween, being fun and festive and candy filled which is always a plus. Then comes Thanksgiving, which is personally, my favorite. In my family we have a tradition of staying in our pajamas all day, calling it PJ Thanksgiving. Which is the best decision anyone has made in my family.

Go out and enjoy fall, because before you blink, it gets too cold to even get out of bed. Before you have to put on 20 layers of clothes to brave the walk to class or out to get the mail.

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.
