I love snowboarding. Around the end of the first semester, with finals and everything, I get so stressed out. I kind of forget to have fun because I’m so worried about exams and projects. The thought of snowboarding always gets me through this time of year. This year, I started checking the snow reports in SEPTEMBER. I’m desperate to get back to Tahoe. This photo, to me, represents happiness. I’m on top of a mountain, with one of my closest friends, preparing to glide down a mountain at high speed. I couldn’t be happier.
