Favorite Place On Campus

My favorite place on campus is the lake at the end of the board walk coming from parking garage 2. I like this spot because I often get to see turtles sunbathing on the wooden board that is in the center. Also I have seen alligators and fish in this spot. The other day I was walking to class and was dreading the long day ahead of me and when I came to the end where the lake is I saw a turtle sunbathing with its head and all of its limbs hanging out of its shell. It made me smile not only because the turtle looked funny but because I could tell that the turtle was having an awesome day just hanging out in the sunshine and I realized that my day wasn't going to be as bad as I had anticipated. The sun was out, the day had just begun, I was in perfect health and I was on top of all my school work. I realized the positives out weighed the negatives and I was in a great mood the rest of the day. This spot is also attractive to me because it is so quiet. I feel that when people are walking across the board walk they don't talk as much as they do in the halls so its just a nice quiet place.
