Hi again Cowl readers. We took a week off, so I hope you didn’t miss us too much. My thoughts this week are still about the future, so I will try to stray from the existential and focus more on the random things I have been thinking about. I just finished another book, and I decided to revive (start actually using) my Goodreads account. I would let you all follow, but I probably will forget about it again. I just started A Little Life, and I have heard mixed reviews, but I am enjoying it so far. I still have approximately 600 pages left, so it will be a while before I can update Goodreads anyway. I may start adding my books for class to Goodreads in the meantime, but also probably not. 

I am so excited that SNL is back! I have a few thoughts about this season, but a 500-word limit, so I will list them with no explanation. I miss Ego Nwodim, I don’t like Jane Wickline, I think that Jeremy Culhane will be one of the best on the cast, I am so happy Andrew Dismukes is in every sketch, and Weekend Update has, and will always be, the best part of each episode. I haven’t been watching much TV, but I have been deep into YouTube. I am still obsessed with Gabby Windey, Matt and Bowen, Quen Blackwell, and Caleb Hearon. I have also been listening to a ton of Lorde.

I also am so happy that it is fall and I can break out my sweaters. The only issue with that is I got a new sweater this summer and unfortunately I have to wear it every day, so the rest of my sweaters remain in my closet (what they said about me back in high school). I want to get more sweaters soon, so maybe you will find me in a different outfit for once (probably not). Speaking of clothes, finding a dress for Senior Ring Weekend has been horrific. I have gone through every mini dress on every website and have not liked a single one. Not sure what to do about that, but at the end of the day, it is not my circus nor my monkeys. I do have a new signature scent though! Counting my blessings.

Right now I am figuring out postgrad plans and scared out of my mind, but I am trying to remember to live in the moment and celebrate the little things that are keeping me going. Enjoy the fall in Providence and give yourself space to let go a little. Talk soon.
