Cheers to my first fall at Carleton that didn't end in an existential crisis and emotional heap. After developing a soft spot for the warm winds of MN fall, the universe finally decided to love me back! I really should give myself more credit for getting through three rough seasons. It took that much for me to build the sense of security it takes for me to know now that when (it feels like) there's nothing left, I have myself, my convictions, my groundedness, and those are no small things 🍂#oopsawko #gotkindadeep #myb (at Northfield, Minnesota)
