There are countless reasons why I love Halloween. In fact, it may be one of the best holidays. The weather is great, not too hot but not too cold. The leaves are brilliant colors and are coating the ground. Bonfires, hoodies, flannels and pumpkin spice lattes have officially made their appearance. On top of all of this, getting to dress up as anything you want and how you want is just extremely fun and exciting. You get to be a kid again, which is great, even if it is just for a day. However, 24 hours can go by fast, so you should try to enjoy it as much as you can. While you're busy enjoying this happily haunted holiday, here's some things you should try to remember to do this Halloween.

1. Dress up.

Whether you want to dress up in a funny, sexy or scary, just do it. Whatever you want to be. You can go all out or keep it simple. Buy a costume or try some DIY projects. It's the one night of the year you can be anyone you want. Live a little.


2. Watch a Halloween themed movie.

I'm not going to lie, I am such a baby when it comes to scary movies. My imagination runs wild and everything I see stays with me forever. So if you're like me, it's OK to keep it simple and watch "Hocus Pocus" or "Halloweentown". Or, if you're feeling brave enough, you can try something a bit more intense. Either way, at least watch one Halloween feeling movie. You have to.

3. Decorate a pumpkin.

Who doesn't love carving pumpkins? Actually, I'm sure a lot of us don't. I myself am awful at carving pumpkins, but I can still paint them and make them look cute. So grab a pumpkin and decorate away. It can keep you company on this chilly, creepy night.

4. Eat lots and lots of candy.

I mean, this is what this holiday is for, after all. Or at least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself. And to celebrate right, go to the store and get a huge bag of your favorite candy. The best part is, everyone will think it's for your trick-or-treaters. No one will ever know you're actually just going to go home and stuff your face with the entire bag in less than ten minutes.

5. Go to a pumpkin patch.

How can you let Halloween pass without going to a pumpkin patch? It's not truly Fall until you've been to at least one of them. Plus, you can get some of the cutest Fall pictures there too. Go ahead and be basic and take a picture with a pumpkin on your head, we won't judge. You get bonus points if you go on a hayride too.

6. Eat more candy.

Seriously, we're not judging. Besides, I'm pretty sure calories don't even exist on holidays, to begin with. You do you.


Enjoy this festive fall holiday. Happy Halloween!

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.
