Final: Photo story

The balance that comes with being a student explores free time with physical activities, stressful late-night-grinding on assignments, a low-paying job, and some time to let free and dance. As he goes to the park to loosen up his muscles and mind, Brenden keeps a safe in the back of his head filled with tedious schoolwork. That five minute speech has to be finished and rehearsed before the night's over, that picture has to be uploaded by midnight, that certain foreign-looking equation is still on the page after looking away from it for hours. As the sun sets down, and people walk their dogs in the mixture of the fall and winter air, Brenden lets his worries leave his soul for a few, carefree moments.

As the night draws closer, Brenden retreats back to his natural state-- laying in the bedroom.  The stress from constant education and a task-oriented life have hit deep in the psychologically tormented brain. Still, things need to get done-- there's a job awaiting for Brenden to perform. Luckily, he can work from his habitat-- in his desk in his room. The New Orleans Saints media outlet awaits the updated podcast from its hard-working super-fan. A cent every ten views isn't much, but it will work for now on the current budget of a broke college student. The popular sports media site: SBnation, is the source of all income for a struggling student, and so though he is wiped out from the day, Brenden still needs to earn his paper. 

After all the multiple-page math packets, the constant speech rehearsal, and the recording of a podcast, Brenden needs another relief. Before he entered his school-focused zone, Brenden was playing in the park like an innocent child. Now that all the paperwork is finished, more play is desired. Brenden sprints out the door with an exciting smile on his face. A beautiful piece of artwork strikes his eye, as he's always been a graffiti-geek. Nothing else comes to his mind other than the constant beat in his head pounding like a drum. All the instruments lined up in synchronization in his brain, and the result of the music flowed through his body. Again after all the business was taken care of, the joyful side of the balanced student life is exposed.
