I squinted as I walked out of my dorm into the blinding sunlight as I started my walk to Williams. I could feel the heat of the morning sun on my skin as I walked down the steps. The first unusual thing I saw was a water truck and a man with a hose. I presume this had something to do with the fire hydrant that is located by the side walk. I continued walking down the dirt scattered sidewalk and encountered the on-going construction that is occuring on campus. I could smell the lingering gas smell that radiated from behind a cement truck as it passed. I was almost there now, and I tried to block out all the chaos ensuing behind me and focus on the flowers just out side the building. I noticed one in particular, a beautiful purple flower with long, skinny pedals decorating a yellow center. It caught my attention because all the other one around it were shriveled up and decaying. This one flower was something beautiful in the mist of nothing and it made me smile as I walked into the building.
