Last Saturday, I attended the Sip and Paint event here at Rose House. I was so excited to take a moment to relax and be creative. I had no idea what to paint but I knew I wanted to use different shades of blue. I went with something simple – a flower. I realized after painting how relaxing it was to take my mind off of the hard course load here at Cornell University. I experienced the same relaxation I had during the Gourd Night Light Event. I then realized that I should start painting frequently as a stress reliever. Attending this school can cause some people to lose their creativeness. I hope to gain my back.
