Hello there, (in obi-wan’s voice)

I love October with all my heart (probably because it’s my birth month). It’s coming to an end and I’m not ready to let it go. What do you mean by - it’s time for more midterms and assignments along with cold winds and cloudy skies???

Anyhow, let’s breathe the fall air and enjoy it till it lasts. Until next year..

(also, I’m not gonna stop gilmore girls quotes just yet..!)
