My Favorite Things 3/3

✦ My Girlfriend ✦

    My third example of a few of my favorite things would definitely be my girlfriend <333 Her name is Ella Arvidson and she also attends Flagler College. Her major is Elementary Education and her minor is Fine Arts (just like me!) We have been together for almost 7 months and she is the light of my life! 

    

    We met for the first time in an education class, although we only shared a gaze. It wasn't until the second semester of sophomore year we first hung out with a mutual friend and sort of hit it off. Ever since, we have spent hundreds of days happily in each other's company. We had a lovely summer together and we are really looking forward to a Flagship 2025 trip to South Korea together!

✦ My Journals ✦

        My second example of one of my favorite things would have to be my collection of journals! Ever since the middle of high school, I've started to use these notebooks from a brand called Moleskine. They are leather notebooks that come in many different sizes and page styles, included lined, dotted, and even grid pages. 

    

    I used to use them for daily to do lists and journal entries, but recently I have been using the smaller green planner in the photo above. It has served me a great service- being able to access everything in one book. I also like to sketch and write poetry from time to time in these books, and take them everywhere with me. 

    

    For the past few years, it has been a very nice system to write a to-do list for the next day every evening, and then the next day, have a guide for everything I need to get done in that day. And the best and most validating part is sitting in bed at the end of the day and crossing everything off my list. Not to mention I love decorating my journal!

My Camera ✦ Nikon D7000

    My first example of a few of my favorite things would have to be my digital camera. It is a Nikon D7000 that I have had for maybe four years. I try to take it to as many places and events as I can so I can create a large portfolio of work.

    Since I first had a photo capturing device as a child, I have had a love of photography. I have a strong personal style in my head and throughout my day I find many instances where I feel the need to snap a photo. I also have been working for a magazine for the past two years called Strike Magazine. Last semester I was a photographer, and this semester I have graciously accepted the role of photography director. 

    I hope to continue my love for photography and one day maybe make some money out of it, in return for taking beautiful photos either for or of people.
