Hi! As an extremely basic girl, I do get excited about fall—especially the blue/orange combo pictured above. Strong Denver Broncos vibes. Now that we're starting to hit our stride in this new academic year, three bits of troubleshooting:

In case waking up is hard to do

Wake-Up Times, In Order, by the incomparable Daniel Lavery. "Might you have purchased what felt like a virtuous start to the day at the expense of the rest of it? My God, what time are you going to have lunch?"

In case your commute is boring

I'm mildly obsessed with temporary highway signs, and this week I learned that the Feds came for New Jersey's sense of humor. Cannot stop thinking about this one. Everyone does it! Why Jersey?! Poor Jersey.

In case work is rough

I can't recommend Ask a Manager highly enough: genuinely helpful re lots of work-related issues, and then there's bonkers bananas stuff like this. NUMBER 2!!!!!!

Wild world, y'all. Have a great weekend! xoxo
