Autumn is known to New Englanders as the most beautiful season. When I think of leaving this part of the world, I see those yellow, red, orange leaves, apple picking, pumpkin carving, every wonderful moment that come along with this time of year in Connecticut.
On a more trivial note, I happen to look much better in pants than I do in shorts.
This summer has been uncharacteristically frigid so far. I can only hope this means that autumn will arrive even sooner than usual. I’m already over the current season, and yet I have so much stress ahead of me that it’d be wiser to hold on to these last few weeks.
I keep on telling myself, “Only four months and you’ll know what your future looks like.” I’ll have my college decisions by then. But in between now and December are so many experiences. So many accomplishments and disappointments and new, exciting people to meet.
I’d be a fool to let that pass me by on account of a few envelopes.
