Picture alongside me…

You wake up bundled in a pile of blankets and pillows. It’s hard to get out of bed and leave the warmth. You’ve snoozed the alarm enough times and you’ll be late if you don’t get a move on.

As your feet hit the bathroom floor you wince at the coldness. It’s make you shiver and retrieve fuzzy socks. The weather finally feels like fall.

Your routine continues: brush your teeth, wash your face, and style your hair. And then it’s time for coffee. Navigating the darkness of your apartment with a phone light, you start on a cup of coffee. You’ve got a song playing quietly as you pour creamer in your coffee and slowly make your way back to your room.

You fold your blankets one by one, making your bed to start your day off right. Then you pick out an outfit, cycling through 4-5 options before landing on leggings and a large hoodie for comfort.

Orange and pinkish beams of light are peaking through tree leaves and making their way through your blinds reminding you to get a move on. You pause for a moment to drink your coffee and observe the trees. There’s a slight breeze and a few leaves falling. You can hear birds chirping outside your window.

You quickly grab your laptop and charger to put in your backpack. You scramble to find your notebook and a pencil, shoving them in your bag as you search for your keys to leave.

On the way out the door you grab a granola bar and fill up your water bottle for the day. Finally you walk out the door.

The air is crisp and the breeze is subtle. It smells and feels just like fall.

Finally, fall is here. Which means Midterms is either happening or just finishing (hence my absence last Monday). Take time to enjoy the nice cool weather in the morning! Best of luck to all <3!
