This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Savannah chapter.

In those moments of darkness where we get lost in thought and feel like the world is closing in. We find our place.

 

A place to breathe and think.

 

A place to see and admire.

 

It may not be a perfect place but it’s yours.

 

And in that place you remember all the pain and frustration it took to wake up this morning and your thankful.

 

Because in times of darkness that place is your light.

 

I’m breathing in the fraying grass and old sea moss.

 

I’m feeling the cold air & almost self-fulfillment.

 

These  stars won’t move but I will but no matter how much my material body moves this place will stay the same.

 

Sincerely, my past self

Savannah '21

I am from Gainesville, Ga. I have two Associate Degrees. One in Business Administrative Technology and the other one in Accounting from Lanier Technical College. Ever since I was in middle school, I knew I wanted to attend Savannah State University because I had to do a project on a college, and that was my college to research. I knew a few of my family members attended; only knowing Savannah State is a Historically Black College University. Now I am a twenty-eight-year-old senior majoring in Business Management. My goal is to have my own plus size boutique. I am also in the process of starting my own lip gloss line. I will tell anybody it is never too late to go after your dream.
