January 16 ~ Hi guys, so as mentioned before, I’ve moved out! I’ve been living in my new apartment for a month or so, and it already feels like home. I wanted to share some shots of my apartment with you guys! The left two are the living room, the right top is my room and right bottom is the kitchen table.

A cold day of late October, when the withered blackberries dangled like their own dour spooks on the discoloured brambles.

Do you want to avoid people? Drink water. Not only will you be hydrated, you don’t have to talk to people while drinking water, then later you’ll have to pee, which means you get to avoid people even more

An Autumn Reading List

by @ablogwithaview

As an eternal student, autumn reading – to me – means heading back to university and ploughing through stacks of books for all of my different classes. It means French poetry collections, gothic tales, plays about angsty princes, and Russian novels. It means boarding school campuses and buffalo checked hats and nights spent reading about the devil coming to life. Now that I’m done with the coursework portion of my graduate degree though, autumn reading means picking and choosing my favorite bits and mixing campus novels with unsettling short stories and the fantastic.

Some of my favorite reads for the season:

The Secret History, Donna Tartt I know, I know, this is one of the most recommended books on the internet, but before you judge, have you actually read The Secret History? It’s autumnal in its very spirit and just makes me think of reading old classics and trying not to die of pneumonia in an old barn. Plus, a few of the other Attic Editors and I have a few The Secret History treats coming your way in the next few weeks, so make sure to add this to your autumn reading list in preparation!

The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger Yes, Holden Caulfield sucks, but J.D. Salinger does not. I prefer Franny and Zooey by far, but The Catcher in the Rye makes me feel like I’m 15 and in English class, realizing that there’s nothing I prefer to talking about books. Plus, New England autumn.

Tales of the Unexpected, Roald Dahl Did I bring too much man into this list with the above entry? The first short story in this collection is about a woman who kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb, so let’s say it’s balanced out now. Fun and creepy at the same time, Tales of the Unexpected is everything you loved about Roald Dahl as a child brought up to the adult level.

Keep reading

Girls Scouts encounter Bigfoot the most frequently. Part of their oath is to keep him a secret because he’s very kind and makes up 30% of their revenue due to his fervent love for thin mints.
