I Wish It Were Autumn

Everyone loves summer but not me. I think summer is probably my least favorite time of year.

Does anyone want to know why? I'll tell you why in this list…


1. No Watching Movies

Having friends on the internet makes it very difficult to go see a new movie. I make a lot of jokes about having more friends online than I do in real life, but it's true. The problem is, I'm very awkward and can't make friends easily in real life because I'm shy, so I don't have anyone to go to the movies with. This makes going to see Summer Blockbusters incredibly difficult as well as unfulfilling.



2. Summer is Loud

Yes,—summer is loud! I'd like a quiet home in the country, but since I don't have that ability at this moment, I have a home with my parents. I love my parents, but they've chosen to live right smack dab in the middle of town, and there's always something going on. It's so loud and hard to get work done or focus on a new book, even the one that I'm currently writing. Please, someone, buy me some ear muffs! Preferably earmuffs which come in gray or black—thank you!



3. Hot Weather

Summer is the worst time to be a bookworm. There's nothing I like more than curling up with a good book on a nice quiet rainy day. But summer afternoons are hot and very noisy, so going on the porch with a nice book and a cup of tea isn't nearly as fulfilling as it has the potential to be!



4. Crowds

Another reason why I hate summer is because there are crowds everywhere! I have some degree of social anxiety, and it's difficult to be around a lot of people at once—especially when they're in very close proximity to me. This always happens in summer. There's never a place you can go where you can just have a minute to yourself or even space to breathe. I know it's only May, but can it please be September, like, tomorrow? Because then afternoons would be quiet and cool enough to sit outside and read a book.



5. Fireworks are the Worst

Fireworks are a terrible idea. Whoever decided to make things explode in midair and cause disruption to small animals like my dog, or even to people who are sensitive to loud noises in any form, is a jerk. They can spend their night comforting my dog so that I can get some sleep—thank you! And, has it occurred to anyone that this is polluting our air? This is polluting our air that we have to breathe in America. Can we celebrate the 4th of July any other way that makes a little more sense? Please!




6. People Messing with Wild Animals

Summer is a time when wild animals come out of hibernation. I live in the Northeast, so I don't have to worry about snakes that are big enough to kill and subsequently devour a deer, or even spiders the size of frisbees. And, I'm very thankful for that. I'm not sure if I'll ever leave this part of the country because of that. I have no issue with snakes and spiders being as they're naturally intended, however, I do have an issue with people harassing them. People are encroaching upon their homes, and they suffer because they're encroaching upon their homes. Leave the wild animals alone. Don't get mad at them if they react naturally to what they perceive as a foreign presence.



7. I Scream for Ice Cream

I really miss the ice cream truck of my youth. I love ice cream, but the truck never comes by anymore. This totally sucks. If you can't leave your house, you can't get any ice cream—that's sad!



8. Weird Sand Phobia

I feel like I'm the only person in the world that hates sand, but I know I can't be. My disability causes sensory issues, and that means I can't stand the sensation of sand touching my skin. That's really my only hang up, but that's weird. I hate the beach, and I feel so left out because everyone loves the beach. Everyone is going there and playing this, and I'm just like: yuck, get away from me.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
