In this image, you can clearly see the relaxed, open area of the amphitheater. This is one of my favorite places on campus, especially on a beautiful day like today. The grass and stone surroundings serve as an ideal place to collaborate with others or focus individually. Since it is outdoors and has a lot of natural beauty, it is a much needed change of scenery and fresh air after spending so much time indoors studying. This area is a central point on Clemson's campus and I remember during a tour I was intrigued by this space and the many purposes it caters to, like studying, socializing, performances, and relaxing. To me, this is a special and important piece of Clemson.

Everyday for the past school year, I have seen this view. Holmes Hall has been my home for freshman year, and it holds many special memories for me. To me, this image represents growing up and being on my own. This place was a big part of finding my way in college and meeting the people that are now some of my closest friends. I will never forget looking at this building on the first day of moving in and thinking that it looked intimidating and overwhelming. Now, I see it as familiar and comfortable.

This image depicts a view I face often as a college student. Starbucks is a vital part of my, as well as many of my fellow classmates, lives. The seemingly endless choices full of much-needed caffeine are almost impossible to say no to. While this may not be the healthiest habit, Starbucks has been a place to meet friends and work with groups, making some coffee-fueled, unforgettable memories this year. Even though my bank account doesn't love it, my heart does.
