FALL-ing in love!

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love fall and everything about this season. Pumpkin spice and apple ciders, that cool crisp autumn breeze, fall mornings, fall evenings, afternoon naps, the golden and burgundy hues... it's all so beautiful!

B-school has kept me busy this semester, and I have not gotten a chance to go leaf-peeping. But, I do try to snap a pic once in a while. This morning, while I was walking back from the train station, I saw these beautiful golden leaves with green ones in the background. So gorgeous, it deserved a special mention on the blog-space :)

They say...

...that absence makes the hearts grow fonder.

If you asked me a year ago, I'd have convinced you otherwise - that absence makes the hearts grow fonder towards other people! I'm extremely (and at times, abnormally) attached to my closest friends - and any absence from them would probably make me miserable because I'd miss them way too much.

But lately, I've started to sort-of, kind-of believe that absence - and distance - from your closest friends perhaps do make the hearts grow fonder. It's strange because this change in feelings has creeped up to me so fast, it's making my head spin.

Happy 2013!

I had said in my last post that I'll post more often, but that didn't really happen, did it?  :)

Looking back on last year, I feel satisfied and content with my accomplishments - both personal and professional. I'm happy that I have a supportive family and a wonderful and encouraging set of friends who have stuck by me through the thick-and-thin.

This year, I want to be a little more organized than I was last year - not organized in terms of being OCD about how things are kept, but organized in terms of my thought process. I want to learn how to be able to get past the little things in life and see the big picture. I want to travel to places that I haven't been to before and take time out to write. I want to live healthier, eat healthier, and incorporate these habits into my day-to-day life. I want to challenge myself to be personally, professionally, and academically better - I can't let the nitty-gritty or minor hiccups bog me down. It's time to buckle up - this may be a bumpy ride but I'm all about the adventure!
