Baby, It's Cold Outside


This photograph makes me feel at peace, and letting myself get re-enveloped in the moments I spent alone in forrest preserves photographing help melt away the stress of finals. As the wind would hit my face and all I could smell was the cold air and the distant fireplaces blazing with warmth, happiness and comfort rushed through me. My college town is not known for getting too much snow (sadly it's a rare occasion) but just the other day, as I walked out of my dorm onto the sidewalk, little white snowflakes fell upon my black wool coat, and I couldn't help but smile even though plenty of people seemed bitter over the fact that it was so cold. I have a little over a week left and then I'll be done with my finals; then all I will have left to do is play in the snow, read, write, and spend time with everyone I've missed so dearly back home. I cannot wait.
