13 Reasons Why Spooky Season Is The Best Season

The spooky season is upon us. If you're not familiar with the term, it's the month of October! The whole month is dedicated to all things fall, pumpkin and spook, making it the best month of the year. Here's why:

The Air Is Getting Colder!

Fall, Autumn, Spooky season, whatever you want to call this time of the year one thing remains the same; the temperature is dropping. This means you can go outside without sweating, you open windows, and even just relax inside knowing you don't have to have the A/C on.

2. Pie!

Everyone loves pie, and if you don't then I'm worried. Year round you can get apple, chocolate, key lime, but only one time a year can you get pumpkin pie. The greatest delicacy, in my eyes, is a beautiful pumpkin pie. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

3. October 3rd!

On October 3rd Aaron Samuels asked Cady Heron what day it was. Iconic.

4. Desserts (besides pie)!

Cookies, candy by the pound, cakes, even bat shaped sprinkles. Although pie is superior in my heart, I can't say no to a good cookie with a ghost printed on it! Also sorry trick or treaters I swear I had candy for you I just ate it all!

5. The Pumpkin Patches!

Just a happy halloweenie!

I wish picking pumpkins was year round, it gives you a great opportunity to hang out with friends or someone special while judging giant pumpkins! Also, who doesn't love seeing all the weird squashes??

6. Did I mention Pumpkin Spice Lattes!

You can hate on me as much as you want but I'm not ashamed to say I love pumpkin spice lattes. I just love pumpkin and it's a limited flavor, so if I want to fill myself up on pumpkin every day in October I will! Shoutout Starbs for fueling this habit!

7. Netflix and Chills!

Just two bros!

Finally, I can indulge in scary movies every day without any judgment! Netflix even renamed their horror section Netflix and Chills just to support my horror addiction.

8. Costumes!

Do you want to be a dog? Great. Want to pretend to be a doctor? Hey, do it! This is the one time a year you can dress up and have fun maybe even win a costume contest or two! As long as you aren't appropriating a culture or doing something offensive everyone will love your costume.

9. Haunted Houses!

Nothing to see here.

If you're lucky to live near a Universal Studios or have ever been to one of their Halloween Horror Nights, you've experienced the greatest haunted houses ever! I'm now taking applicants for a buddy to go with!

10. Scary Stories!

Enjoy this thread on twitter of a bunch of scary stories! Maybe even gather your friends and spook them with these stories too!

11. Fun Parties!

Halloween parties are always the best, especially if the decorations are good. A fun creepy house, maybe a punch bowl with smoke on the top, cupcakes with spooky toppers! That is a dream come true, and it beats any party where everyone is just standing around uncomfortably.

12. Halloween Itself!

When the most important day of the month finally arrives it feels like a weight is lifted off my shoulders, not to be overdramatic or anything. Whether you're trick or treating, going to a party, or having a night in with some movies, the night is filled with so much fun!

13. The Post Halloween High!

Now that spooky season is over, prepping for the next two awesome holidays begins! Soon turkeys will be eaten and then Christmas trees will be out up, as 2018 comes to a close.

These are the 13 reasons why spooky season is the best season, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

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.
