Standford

A university campus of an older established university has always excited me. The smell of freshly printed books in the college bookstore, vaulted ceilings of immense libraries, energetic young crowds on bikes, submerged in their thoughts professors, sexy lassies on the green lawns, beautiful open stadiums with muscular lads, all these combine and blend into a powerful energy flowing through the alleys of a good schools. The vibe emanating from the scholastic grounds overwhelms me, the sky is the limit here, everything is possible, I can become an astronaut, a doctor, a musician, an actress, or Nobel laureate. I am young, smart, and beautiful, I can do it all! I know this is not exactly like that but for a moment I want to entertain these dreams. This smells like opportunity, it is anticipation of something great. It is like waiting for the New Year holiday, you don’t know where you will be and what you will be doing but you wait for it, don’t you? It is as if somebody tells me that I will have sex with an amazing lover but I don’t know yet who he will be, I just know it will be splendid.

When travelling, some people visit museums, some people indulge in local foods, some people check out sport arenas, and I like to visit university book stores. So, here I am @ the Stanford’s bookstore, first having my coffee and then strolling down the rows of the bookshelves. I really want to be a part of all that or at least pretend for a moment or two. So, I find my way to transform to a proper Stanford student, who knows this might be just my first step? Check out my transformation in this gallery.
