We’re in-between seasons and trying to decide whether or not to wear one layer or two, in-between exams and papers (it is midterms season, after all!), and perhaps even in-between potential costume ideas for Wednesday. Are you dressing up for Halloween? Because I definitely will be!

Back to the point, the in-between can be frightening. Not knowing what lies ahead can be scarier than a horror movie. And I’m a person that likes to know, likes to jump to the end of a book just to check if my favorite character survived, likes to go on Wikipedia just to find out how a tv series I’m watching is going to turn out. But there isn’t a Wiki page for how life will unfold. As a person who is notorious for spoiling herself for books and shows, it’s okay to not know for once. You’ll know soon enough what the answer will be, and everything will turn out fine in the end.

Except maybe Game of Thrones, where everyone dies in the end. Usually.

But let’s keep on moving forward to some announcements!
