There is this part of me that wants everything to remain the same always. Elementary to middle school, high school to college, old home to new home, even changing circles of friends: transitions have always been hard for me.

Some people are really good at change (or so I’m told) but I am not one of those people. Stretch those funny bones, drink a pumpkin spice latte, and write!

Your interpretation of this assignment could take many forms, such as a pithy pumpkin poem, an exaggerated mock epic about a baking experiment gone awry, a short story about the lives of pumpkin patch workers, etc. So for this week’s writing prompt, I thought it’d be fun to try something a little different: a comedy about pumpkins. Now I love autumn and I love the pumpkin as much as the next person, but I think we have to step back and admit: we’re getting a little out of hand, society. Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin ice cream, and the mecca of all pumpkin flavored treats: the pumpkin spice latte (this is the beverage’s 10th anniversary after all). I don’t know if y’all have been on Pinterest or to a Starbucks lately, but people are REALLY into pumpkins this year. And this year that spirit came in the shape of a pumpkin. Despite the still balmy weather conditions, the fall spirit has certainly arrived. Well, it’s officially pumpkin month! It’s technically fall these days and it’s even sort of starting to feel like fall in Austin (it’s at least not in the 100s anymore, which is really all we can ask for). Either way, do service to the unique power that a friend has. Your story can be an example of an encouraging friendship or a destructive one.

Of course, friendships also have their darker sides as we fight, get angry, and sometimes lose friends. The story can be a non-fiction account about one of your dearest friends, or a fictional story about a unique friendship. I feel so much love and support from my close friends (and I hope they feel the same from me!) that even when I’m being bratty or difficult or crazy, they are still willing to love me, care for me, and go above and beyond when I need it.įor this week, write a story inspired about an important, beautiful friendship. As I’ve been a student at UT, far away from my family in Oklahoma, I’ve come to see how beautiful it is when friendships become deep, selfless, authentic relationships. Friendships come and go, but the value of a lifelong friend can’t be denied. Friendship is a special and unique relationship that differs in obvious ways from our relationships with our family or with our significant others.
