It was a beautiful day in the ocean. Even though it was hot and humid, I still loved the color of the water and the rhythmic sound of the ocean water.

I like to take walks around my neighborhood during the springtime to see the wisteria blooms. They are very prominent where I live, and so pretty too!

Hiking and exploring the Blue Ridge mountains marks a special place in my heart, as growing up in this area the mountains never stop being beautiful.

The sunflower festival is something that a lot of people in my city like to go to every year. There is food, drinks, games, and a field of sunflowers.

I love to decorate my walls in my room. It makes me feel like I'm living inside my mind. I have many posters and pictures and other stuff on my walls.

Hike along the side of San Diego Bay. Often there are sail boats and shorebirds to watch. On clear days, you can see all the way to Tijuana's skyline.

Art is very important, I have been painting for 20 years. Art brings people together. Different cultures have created art since the beginning of time.

I enjoy journaling and pen pal letters. It is definitely not a traditional journal, I enjoy making each page different, and a save place for writing.

I enjoy standing outside in winter to take photos of the northern lights. I will be out there for hours. People book special trips to see the lights.

It's a beautiful spot out of the way in the town of Baldwinsville, right on papermill Island. You're surrounded by trees and water here, it's serene.

I had a lot of fun making this haunted maze game and might do some updates. Also, I like to draw and read in my free time to relax after a long day!

Every home football or basketball game, our band goes out and plays "peppy" songs during time outs to keep the energy alive in the crowd and players!

I work with deafblind children- a population many people don't have much insight into! This was a lovely event to raise awareness for the community.

Recently I have gotten into quilting but doing it in the brightest and most chaotic ways I can think of, it is also fun to incorporate into my major.
