My Meaning of Death Valley

This picture of Death Valley is one of the reasons that I came to Clemson. When I was younger, the only colleges that I heard of constantly were USC and Clemson. As I began to grow and was asked what my future plans were, I chose Clemson as my school of choice and architecture as my major. Now that I am here, I have a constant view of Death Valley because of my dorm location. A few days this past week, I though about game day and the warmer weather in comparison to what we have been experiencing. I can honestly say that Clemson's football team and Death Valley definitely shaped my future of today.

A Creative Outlet

      This picture depicting my desk in studio represents the creative outlet that other classes restrict. While I am required to do work in my architect class; there aren't restrictions to simply focusing on that one task. The professors allow us to listen to music as long as we are on task. I feel that this allows us to do our work effectively because it feeds into our creative outlets. I can speak for myself and say that I am most productive when I do listen to music. It lessens my distractions and I feel that I am putting my best foot forward. I believe that different mediums help each person focus in a different way, and music is my form of concentration.
