hello there y’all,
if you have any functioning senses then you’ve surely noticed the aggressively luminous foliage, the sensation of crisp fall air, and the pervasive odor of decomposing organic matter. isn’t it lovely. anyway, it’s only here for the next couple weeks so enjoy this fleeting glimpse of otherworldly color in an entranced stupor. procrastinate, dump your work on someone else, clear your schedule, and get outside! or you’ll regret you didn’t when it’s late march and the latest storm just dropped another foot of snow on campus.
