​11 Reasons Why Winter Is The Greatest Season

Since I was a little kid, winter was always my favorite season. Unfortunately, I've always been in the minority in that regard, as most of my friends and family have always loved fall. Now, it's time to settle the debate once and for all. For all my winter lovers out there, this is why you're right!

1. It's the holiday season!

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or just the Winter Solstice, everyone has a reason to celebrate and be happy with the people they love and cherish.

2. Greater generosity

For a multitude of reasons, everyone seems to be way more generous and giving during the winter. It's an inspiring thing to see everyone show off their kindness; after all, no one wants to be a Scrooge!

3. It's cold!

If you're like me then you love the cold weather but live in Texas, a state where 8 out of the 12 months are spent sweating through your shirt. However, for a few glorious weeks, we get to revel in the cold weather!

4. Cute winter clothes!

During all the cold weather, you finally have an excuse to break out your long sleeves, sweaters, beanies, fuzzy socks, and mittens. It's the best possible aesthetic, and only comes around in winter!

5. Fire

There's something really cozy about a fire, whether its in a fireplace at home or a campfire outdoors, there's just a really nice feeling of having a warm beacon of flame during those cold winter months.

6. Snuggling under blankets

My personal favorite part of winter is being able to wrap myself like a burrito in every blanket I can find and still be the perfect temperature!

7. Cookies, candies, and sweets galore!

There are tons and tons of holiday cookie recipes out there for baking, and so many different holiday themed treats to buy if you're not the baking type. Either way, the sweets are here for the cold season!

8. Gift giving

Many people celebrate winter holidays by exchanging gifts with friends and family. While it will be a little more difficult this year from COVID, you'll still be able to show all those awesome people how much you care about them; what could possibly be better this season!

9. Snow

If you're a student, you just finished the most stressful part of your semester and can finally take a breath. You made it through and succeeded, great job!

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.
