This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oswego chapter.
Last Sunday’s lunar eclipse reminded us all what a beautiful thing the night can be. As we walk around campus, we often hang our heads low and pop our headphones in, muffling the outside world. Perhaps next time we find ourselves trekking the campus at night, we might take a moment and look around us. Maybe we’ll notice the soft sounds of insects and night birds. Maybe we’ll find ourselves in awe at the intricate web of a spider, or the delicate textures of individual leaves on a tree, illuminated by the glow of a streetlamp. And maybe we’ll draw in a cold breath, feeling the wind on our cheeks. It will remind us for a moment that, despite the hustle and bustle of the day, there are moments like these when the world is quiet and at peace.
