Makeshift incense holders and squash seeds: I think I'm home.


I just made an incense holder. My roommate and I are heavily into making our room smell like a yoga studio, and I decided to give her incense a break and use mine.

I moved in yesterday, and after all the yucky things going on at home it's been one big, long breath of fresh air. Saying hi to people I thought I had forgotten, catching up with lovely old friends, and just living here again. I should say though, that it's not quite the same as last year. So far it's been better. I'm in an on-campus apartment with six others and even though we came together when I answered a roommate ad they put up online, it's worked out great so far. Last year, I missed out on the low-key socializing that happens when you've got a kitchen and living room. We've been sitting in the mismatched chairs a lot, just having real talk. I cooked myself lunch today. I love doing home-y things here. We're going to have a chore wheel soon, and I've already washed a sinkful of dishes and loved it. There's something about cleaning a house you love that just feels fulfilling. As I scrubbed olive oil and squash seeds off an iron skillet, I thought of how good this place already has been to me, and vowed to be just as good in return.
