Top 5 Reasons October is the Best

What is October? A month? Yes. The start of a new season? Yes. But what else? What else is there to love about October? I'm about to tell you.

1. The Colors
The colors of all of the changing leaves are the first tell-tale sign that it is the start of the month of October, it being the beginning of fall and all. The leaves on the many trees surrounding us change from a relaxed leafy green to a vibrant mix of yellow, red, and orange. The scenery is truly great to take pictures in front of.

2. The Weather
In addition to the beautiful colors surrounding us, the weather starts to cool down. Here in New England we go from a deathly hot summer to a breezy mix between heat and cool air. Sweatshirt season is the better term for it. We get to wear shorts during the day heat, and bundle up in our hoodies and enjoy the cold breeze at night.

3. Horror Movies
Being that October means everything scary and Halloween, horror movies are where it's at. From the classics like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Hocus Pocus to new thrillers like Scream the TV show, the upcoming new Saw movie and many more. The feeling of snuggling up in our hoodies with our pumpkin spice drinks and being scared to death is more fun than any other season.

4. Fall Drinks
Every October is the start of being able to purchase a handful of flavorful drinks we can't get all year long. Pumpkin Spice is the most popular, you can get pumpkin spice pretty much everything from coffee to Oreo cookies. Another biggie is apple cider, very popular at Starbucks in the "Caramel Apple Spice," but getting your own jug at a place like Market Basket is just as good.

5. Fall Clothes
This is a new one for me, but being comfy in cute flannel shirts and jeans is the best time of year. I'm not too hot or too cold in this outfit because it is just right with the weather in mind. Also, just about anybody can pull it off and look cute while doing it!

By now I'm sure you've guessed it, my favorite season is fall and my favorite month is October when it all starts! I am a horror movie watching, pumpkin spice drinking, hoodie wearing fanatic, and I won't stop loving October...ever. Really, who doesn't love October?

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
