a few of my favorite things (fall edition)

I love autumn. Other than being the in the thick of midterm exams and papers, I am loving life right now. The weather is perfect for a cozy sweater and jeans, the trees on the leaves have changed and are scattered all over the city in a swirl of orange and yellow, there are pumpkins on everyone's doorsteps, and it's almost Halloween - one of my favorite days of the year.

I rode my bike to school today and there was something magical about the blue sky, the crisp autumn air, the smell of crunchy leaves on the ground, and everyone looking toasty in fall coats. So, in the spirit of cozy sweaters, hot mugs of tea, pumpkin patches, and cute little kids (and big kids) getting excited about dressing up in costumes - here are some things that remind me of my favorite season.

Pumpkin spice candles.

School projects, of course.
