I wanted to add’s Logan’s hobbies as well and get as many people as possible into my slideshow.

I also wanted to capture how there is community within off campus housing. I took pictures of welcome doormats, peace and love signs, and even the front desk staff who are always happy and welcoming. I also put in my roomate and Logan’s roomate as well to add that you can also have your own friendships in the apartments, while also having your own room. I also took pictures of decorations such as my desk with my dogs in there as well as Logan’s Murakami picture as well.
