I’ve hit that point in the fall semester (3 weeks in haha ) where I’m all settled in, got my class/workout schedule down, and had my fun here and there, but now my mind is telling itself “okay, time to go home now”. Don’t get me wrong, I love being here and living in my apartment with my girls, but the wave of just being cuddled up with Matt and my dogs, watching a romcom and eating a four cheese pasta with honey chicken from Applebees (don’t question this- you’ll understand once you try) hits me so hard sometimes. I want to be in Bluefield as the leaves begin to change because everyone knows that they’re prettier there since it gets cooler before most other places in SWVA. Anyone else can have Bluefield in the winter because it is equivalent to living in the arctic tundra…but the fall at home is unmatched to anywhere else. The feeling of coming in and mom changing the house decor to pumpkins and all things orange is just so comforting, but nothing ever really changes here. Go to class, then to practice, then to the library and finally to bed, just to do it all over again tomorrow. Any other time you ask me if I like that schedule and I would tell you yes in a heartbeat, but something is different about this year. I know what everyone says, “well it is what you signed up for”, they’re technically right and I truly wouldn’t change it, but we can all agree it gets overly repetitive from time to time. 

The anticipation of basketball season officially starting and having to actually apply myself in class eats at me some days and tells me to give in, but we all know I’ll never do that. And if anyone reading this truly knows me, then you know I’ve probably already changed my mind about wanting to be home, too. So, this is just a little late-night ramble session from me, which y’all know is my favorite thing to do hahah, but do what I can’t- get with your partner, make some of those cute pumpkins cookies that every couple is making on tiktok and watch a halloween disney classic for me. I’ll be up bright & early to run the mile and study for my statistics class…but you already know that once I’m done with homework in the evening, I plan on doing the closest thing I can get to that. Happy “back to college glow has worn off” Week to all my college students out there<3
