When I Grow Up I Want to Be A Librarian

When I started college, I thought I wanted to be nurse. But after a history class and sitting in on an Intro to Anthropology, I quickly realized I was in love with history, culture and research. I was lucky my school provided so many Anthro classes, it was definitely one of the smallest deparments at my college. By second semester of my freshman year, I declared my major in history and a double minor in Anthropology and Art History with the hopes of entering the world of libraries, archives or museums.

Bundle Up

One thing I absolutely miss about Indiana and New York is the weather this time of year. Now that I am back in California it's not nearly as cold as I'm used to for October. Even when I try to layer light clothes and sport my boots I get strange looks like "what in god's name are you wearing" because it's like ninety degrees in Palm Springs. I'll be wearing shorts and a t-shirt passing out candy to trick-or-treaters and thinking about Indiana autumn days.

this week's favorites...

Wake up to a beautiful and crisp fall morning in Vermont.

Venture down an old winding path in Indiana during a quiet afternoon.

Float along with your lover in New York on a perfect fall day.

Walk along the Colorado mountains for mid morning stroll.

Get lost for a day in Maine and take in these perfect days of Fall.

Graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Anthropology. 4. She has been a vegetarian since the age of four. 5.
