This is a picture of the main Lifeguard tower at Del Mar Beach in San Diego, CA. If I was not at school or at home during my last two years of high school I was spending it here at the beach. There’s nowhere else in the world I love more than the beach. I tried to spend as much time as I could hanging out here with friends or alone. Luckily I didn’t actually spend much time inside the lifeguard tower, but I spent countless hours underneath its silhouette. I walked by this building probably three or four times a week for more than a year, and way more over the entire time I lived in San Diego.

The thing I miss most about now living in Oklahoma is being able to drive down to the beach and hang out for a few hours with friends. The beach is a special place for me because it is somewhere where the rest of the outside world seem to melt away. It is a very calming and chill place to be. When I come home during breaks, I try to spend as much of my time as possible at the beach because it is very representative of where I come from.
