  After being completely isolated for a month I was really missing everyone. In June three of my friends from the gym I was working at had "parking lot parties" where we would park our cars in the Gananda High School parking lot 6 feet away from each other. We'd sit in our trunks facing each other, eat food, play music, and skateboard with masks on. Our parking lot parties were what I looked forward to every week and they were a safe way to bring back a sense of normality during a time that was so lonely and turbulent.

  I got my tiger shorts when I joined the RIT Women's Club Volleyball team my sophomore year. We wear them as cover shorts at every tournament and game we have because of how loud and bright they are. They make it easy to find one another at busy tournaments and they make us look like more of a team. Everyone on the team including myself loves the tiger shorts and I have so many happy memories in them at RIT and many other places.

  This self portrait was taken in the photo studios at RIT. As a photo major I spend a lot of my time in the studios and it was nice to create images for myself rather than for a class. This image is just me having fun in the studio and creating some nice portraits.
