Happy October!
Since my last post, the weather has done a complete 180- we went from being consistently hot, sticky, and overall an unpleasant mess (can you tell I’m not from around here?) to a cool, cloudy, more fall-appropriate temperature. In other words, my sweaters are at the ready, mugs filled to the brim with alternating hot beverages (currently on a chai or chamomile kick), and a trip to go apple-picking is in the works!
While it was a busy week filled with assignments, quizzes, and labs, I think I managed pretty well! It’s easy to get overwhelmed- especially when the first wave of assignments hits for the semester-, but I’ve been teaching myself to celebrate the smaller things in life. For example, this week, my friend Isabel surprised me with a childhood favorite- Halloween-themed sugar cookies! While ~barely~ counting as homemade, these hold a dear spot in my heart, and it definitely made my week a bit sweeter.
~Very spooky~
Little things like this made the past week go by (almost) painlessly, and it definitely made me excited for my favorite season at Wellesley!
