Self-Portrait

Crazy to think this self-portrait is me, 2 weeks away from graduating. The whole year it never really hit me it was all coming to an end. I remember about a month or so ago someone said to me that you’re really going to feel it after prom. They were right. Prom was just last …

Modern Convenience
