Our lives have revolved around schedules, the next deadline and often we forget to take a moment and breathe. There seems to be less and less time to enjoy life and appreciate the moments that help get us through the day. According to 100happydays.com 71% of the people who attempt this challenge are not able to complete it, failing because of the lack of time. Well, I'm an architecture student. I'm here to say that despite the fact that I lack sleep, and sometimes resemble a walking zombie without my caffeine, that it is still possible to find the little things that make us smile.
Hey Everyone,
I'm glad to say that I've been able to keep up with the 100happydays challenge. The last few weeks have not been easy. As school has become more demanding, I have found it more difficult to stay optimistic, especially with the lack of sleep. You'll notice that there are quite a few food pictures in this post. I've come to the realization that it isn't just the food that makes me happy but the company that I share it with. I want to thank those of you who found the time to call me, eat with me, and share the lovely experience, and absurdity of what it means to be an architecture student.
I hope you enjoy the second quarter of my 100happydays challenge :)

What you see is a parkade.
What I see is a space that I had access
to for my studio project.
"Yes, we have four floors...I can't tell you how many
parking spots there are, that's private."
Me in my head: That`s okay I walked it already
and know exactly how many there are! |
