Coming back for the first week of school is always hard. I never like leaving my family after a long and cozy winter break. These are a few things that helped me get through the week: good conversations and catching up with friends, sleeping in on the mornings that I didn’t have class, no alarm to set, burying myself under furry covers, my new vintage soy based candle, a framed picture of my dog, and fresh light pink roses from a charming Brit.
