Okay I’m done now. I’ve taken way too many photos of the skyline over the past year. Below is the product: a unique look at my freshman year.

Sometimes, the twinkling lights of the Prudential tower accompanied me into the late hours of the night. Other times, the sunrise reflected off of brownstone buildings, filling my room with an early morning serenity. More often than not, it was all engulfed by the infamous Boston fog. Thanks for always being there Boston skyline. I love you, bud.
