A randon walk through campus
It was one the best Monday’s in March 2013 at Saddleback College. The sun was high in the sky without clouds. A light breeze blew across the campus, and this photographer took the opportunity to catch what typical days in the life of students at Saddleback looked like, and what they were doing on this gorgeous day. Not quite the “Manic Monday,” described in lyrics by Cinder Lopper, but the day had its own rhythm and beat.
The first group of students, majoring said that they were “just hanging out,” The topics of the day for them were e-cigs. Danny, a very hip dude, was using his break catch up on with friends through texting and Facebook. Marcia Garcia, Soul Clifber and their friend Nathan were just having fun in the sun and discussing the latest trends in the game MAGIC.
Brandon was working outside on this beautiful spring day, taking advantage of the sunshine and catching some rays, while attacking Beginning Algebra. He hesitantly said was going OK. He plans on transferring to a four year university, and specialize in sport business, and possibly becoming a sports announcer. Chick Herns and Vince Schully, you are going to have some fierce competition in the future.
Tara Nelson was in the quad eating, while reading for her biology class. She plans to transfer and obtain her Masters degree in family and marriage counseling.
Sarah Head was undecided regarding her long-term goals, but not her desires to transfer to Cal State Marious, that was a certain in her mind.

Britnny Ferrie also loves working with children, and was working on her degree in children’s education, so that she could work in the elementary school to help, teach and mentor the future generation. Thank goodness for Saddleback students like her.
