In this photo, I was walking up the stairway by Brackett when I noticed this beautiful view. The bright blue sky contrasts with the leafless trees, highlighting the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Soon, the campus will be filled with new life. It amazes me how quickly nature changes, just like life as a college student. I cannot believe that it is nearly spring break and that soon, the school year will be over and I will have officially completed my first year at Clemson University. Although I am looking forward to spring and summer breaks, I don't want to take this time for granted. Looking at the classic image of Tillman, an unmissable landmark of Clemson, I am reminded to slow down and enjoy college life even when life is stressful. I know that one day, I will be looking back with nostalgia on this time, remembering all of the changes, discoveries, and adventures I had during my freshman year.
