This one is pretty self-explanatory but this is what i plan on doing! Here is a list of movies to watch for the people who don't like being scared!

2. Host a zoom costume fashion show with your friends and family

3. Make Halloween treats and deliver them safely!

Giphy

I mean you can totally just keep them for yourself BUT if you were feeling like spreading the joy of treats, deliver them safely! There's a million videos on how to make halloweeen treats out there! I hope you can do something better than the GIF above but if not, it's not like you're a contestant on Halloween Baking Championship plus they still taste yummy.

4. Carve or paint a pumpkin!

Giphy

You can also toast the seeds!! You might also get to get a nice lil arm workout cutting through the pumpkin!

5. Use this website to see what you can do based on where you live!

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.
