Why Riverside Sucks If You Like It Cold

Riverside is still experiencing hot weather and I don't like it.

Why Riverside Sucks If You Like It Cold
Brian Wu

It's effin November and we still have high 80s and low 90s! I hate life right now. Now I was born and raised in NorCal and got used to winter starting in mid-October and December having an average temperature of high 40s or low 50s during the day. Winter doesn't end until late January, sometimes February. If you're used to this weather and like this weather, living in Riverside is like living in an eternal hell.

As I already had mentioned, it's early November and it still feels like summer. The sunlight doesn't last quite as long, but we still got that same ol' summer heat. WTF. We had a few times, but it was completely spontaneous. It started cooling down leading up to the rain, then we get thunderstorms, then the heat picks back up. Why?! I really don't understand. Back home, if rain is predicted, then you can expect to see rain for a week, maybe a week and a half.

Probably the best thing about the cold, is winter fashion. Rocking a clean bomber jacket with a hoodie underneath or swap out the bomber with a leather jacket over some faded jeans. Or if you like a classier look, throw on a peacoat over a zip sweater and some dark pants. If it's not too cold wherever you are right now, you can probably survive by just wearing a cardigan over a plain tee and some chinos. You can't really dress like this if you're in Riverside and if you do, you are something else. If you like doing summer things, like going to the beach, then Riverside and the places around it might be more for you. As for me and anyone else who likes cold weather, it's not so great. On the bright side, I only have to suck it for 2 more years.

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.
