This is a photo of a paper sketch-model I made in Architecture club! I am excited in the future to have more opportunities to build things, work with my hands, and drag the ideas in my head into the real world. I know i’m gonna feel kinda stupid and incompetent at first, because I don’t have a lot of experience with tools, wood work, metal work, or anything, but I’m gonna put in the work to learn, so I can always contribute to the team.

51-Self-Portrait

For my self portrait I chose to stop and smell the roses. This is an attitude I’ve taken to approach this year in particular. Because I really want to have vivid memories from this part of my life. I force myself to slow down, and truly pay attention to everything happening. What I can see, hear, think and feel. While I enjoy being young though, I really cant wait to be a retiree, and literally be smelling the roses all day.

50-Food

By far, my favorite activity during parties, is sitting and munching on whatever snacks are sitting out. While the massive chunks of cheddar don’t look super appetizing, I hope you can appreciate the blurring of the background to focus on the food.

48-Modern-Convenience

You may not consider city trash cans a “modern convenience” but did you know that New York city did not have city trash cans until 2024? Were very lucky to have infrastructure like trash cans, street sweepers, gardeners and more provided by the government, to keep our cities clean.

45-Deadly-Sins

These mushrooms represent Gluttony. They are so hungry, they feed and grow on all the dead things in the soil. This mushroom sprouted up, and grew to humungous size within a few days. After about a week, it had melted down into a pile of goo… returning to the soil without a trace.
