Ever since I was younger, when asked what my favorite holiday was I would say Thanksgiving. A lot of people would be confused because everyone's favorite holiday is Christmas. Thanksgiving is coming up, and I'm getting so excited! Here are 9 reasons why we should love Thanksgiving!

1. FOOD!

Giphy

I love food! On this special holiday I eat the best food ever. Nothing beats home cooked meals.

2. The leftovers

Giphy

We always have leftovers for DAYS! Leftovers are literally my best friend. I bring leftover Thanksgiving to work and to school until it finishes.

3. Guilt free eating

Giphy

Honestly on this day you can devour as much food as you want and you won't be judged for it. You won't feel bad for overeating because it's a holiday that requires you to eat a lot.

4. No school

Giphy

Even though we have no classes for a few days, I appreciate it. We need a break from school from time to time.

5. Means the new year is coming

Giphy

Time sure does fly by. Whenever Thanksgiving passes I then realize the new year is almost here.

6. Family time

Giphy

Sometimes you only see a lot of your family on this day and it feels good to get together and talk.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals!

Giphy

I don't care what anyone says about Black Friday, I love it! I've been going Black Friday shopping for 11 years now and will never stop going. I get the best deals on this day. Cyber Monday is great too!

Thanksgiving themed episodes of your favorite shows

Giphy

A lot of my favorite shows have Thanksgiving themed episodes, and those are always great.

9. Being thankful

Giphy

While you're sitting down with your family, eating your food you'll look around and see how blessed you are. Some people don't have food or family and you have both. You'll feel very thankful for your life.

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.

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.
