Where did September go?
It feels like just yesterday I was writing my September Holidays post, sharing with you all the busy month I had in August!
September had an interesting start. The first of the month I accidentally burnt myself on a rubber spatula making myself toast in my friend’s apartment via a small pot. Nothing major, nothing requiring serious medical attention, but yikes. What a way to start September!
I got to meet all of my residents and have my first program as a Resident Assistant this month, which was really fun to put to together and execute. I had quite a few interesting encounters with residents (thankfully not my own) while on duty, and they definitely have kept life interesting. My classes are a lot, and require much more reading than I am used to, but hey, I’m getting by!
I’ve been listening to a lot of fun podcasts this month (check out this post I shared with my three favorites at the moment), and they have definitely been an exciting part of my everyday routine. There wasn’t really much downtime at all for me in September so my time to clear my head was usually walking from class to class, when I would listen to podcasts.
Seeing people I hadn’t for a while was really nice, and I joined a few clubs so hopefully some will stick!
Perhaps the most exciting thing that happened in September was that I had the opportunity to work with Neutrogena and share one of their products on Instagram! It’s still a bit hard for me to believe myself. If you want to see the post, you can find it on my Instagram @andpajamas!
In October I’m looking forward to (hopefully) cooler weather, finally getting a moment to relax after the rush and demands of September, and my birthday! No big plans as of yet, but we’ll see what happens.

I am so excited to share October’s holidays with you all this month, because this is actually the third October holidays post that I have shared here on Patience and Pajamas! That’s right, I’m entering my third year of monthly holiday post!
This post has become something I truly look forward to writing every month. I think that a big part of that is the interaction I get to have with you, the reader, as a result. I love hearing from you that you celebrated a holiday you learned about from this series, or what you’re looking forward to each month. It makes the research and planning that goes into these worth it and more exciting, as I hunt for holidays that I think you all would appreciate and enjoy.
Happy October, friends!
