End of the Season

There is something wonderfully uncomplicated about summer- life seems to move a little slower and fewer things seem to happen at once, so it stands to reason that the feelings that arrive with the seasons end seem more complex: a collision between the effortless joy of summer and the exhilarating change that is the earmark of fall.
I expect this imprint was made during our school days; while I’m sure I was among the loudest to curse the end of summer vacation – waxing pessimism over stale trading card gum and cold Slurpees – the thrill of change that came with each new school year now feels more vivid in reflection. And so, this months mix is dedicated to the intangible feeling we shared on that first day of class, the elation that came with a freshly cracked notebook and sharpened pencils, contrasted by the sight of the sun still shining out the window and the realization that the Slurpees we lazily sipped would no longer taste so sweet.
