Good afternoon everyone! I hope you’re having a good (rainy) day! The last few days have been particularly warm, but still, fall is just around the corner. I personally can't wait to see the leaves turn yellow and orange, and for the temperature to become more comfortable. And with a few degrees less... It's the perfect opportunity to get a new hoodie! It's perfect timing, as MUSA has just shared the pre-order form to purchase hoodies and crewnecks with your college logo. See my previous email to get all the info! Today’s menu:
