My Favorite Spot on Campus


I have attended Florida Gulf Coast University for all four years of my college experience. I have enjoyed the wildlife, the lakes, and the forests that cover a significant amount of the campus. I had to really think about this entry...I have not really thought about my favorite spot. After much thinking on the topic I decided that my favorite spot on campus is on the rec/intramural fields when the sun is setting. I have played intramural sports all four years of school and when I am out there and the sun is setting, the school creates a beautiful backdrop.

Since the sun is setting you can faintly see the lights on in the library. The trees in the background make a pretty scene, almost like a painting. I think what completes the scene though is the fountain in the lake that is in front of the library. Whenever I am on the fields playing or warming up for a game I always stop and pause to watch the sunset, it always gives me a peaceful calm to see the red, pink, purple, and blue colors setting right over one of the most beautiful parts of campus. Even when there are a lot of people on the fields, and there are football games going on in every direction, the sunset drowns everything out and makes it seems as if I am the only person on the field. The picture below is not the same angle from which you see the sunset from the intramural fields ( here you cannot see the fountain) but it is very similar.
