Slice of Life
Balancing textbooks and timecards, coffee cups and deadlines, the life of a full-time college student with a full-time job is one of constant motion. This photo essay traces the daily rhythm of a young woman whose routine is shaped by determination and necessity. From the quiet moments of early mornings—when the alarm clock rings before the sun has risen—to the late-night study sessions that stretch long past exhaustion, her day is a study in resilience.
The camera follows her as she gets ready in the morning, pausing on an image of her applying foundation with her eyes closed, a brief moment of calm before the rush begins. Meals are quick, often eaten on the move or between classes, reminders of how time is rationed as carefully as money. In lecture halls, her attention is sharp, though her backpack carries more than just books—it carries the weight of competing responsibilities. Later, on the job, her focus shifts again, her energy stretched but never broken.
This series is not only about one student’s daily life—it reflects the experience of many. Through these images, the story of sacrifice, endurance, and ambition emerges, one day at a time.
