When autumn is coming closer ...

While today and tomorrow are good days in terms of weather where I live, we are all aware that autumn is approaching slowly. Past night and the night before gave rather low temperatures, which were close to freezing point. In fact, the summer in the Netherlands has not been much of a summer, although there were a few good days. As the clock keeps ticking and autumn draws nearer, it is becoming more of a challenge to dress nicely without looking like a mummy.

The start of autumn also means the start of a new year in college, meaning that notebooks and textbooks have to be taken out again for some serious studying every now and then. As the days gradually grow shorter, it seems very tempting to stay in bed longer in the mornings, but there just is no time for it if you want to finish your studying during the daytime!

People who longer live with their parents, move (back) into their dorm rooms or rooms elsewhere in town and they probably face the challenge of arranging their rooms and getting on with their room mates. I wish you all the best! Students who stay with their parents face the challenge of getting up early every day; catching their trains, and getting on with their parents.

All in all, autumn always sets a few challenges, each and every year, and every time it feels to me like I forgot how I managed the year before. However, if you follow some of the tips from earlier posts - or if you are a creative nut yourself - you should be able to work your way around most of the issues. I wish all of you a pleasant autumn and good luck if you consider aforementioned issues a challenge!
