The Book Of Random

Photos compiled randomly, but photos that have meaning behind them.

The Book Of Random
Sara Roder

As I have mentioned before, I am no professional photographer! However, I enjoy playing around with different effects on the photos and different techniques to use! This selection photos is nothing but random and pure playfulness (on my end)! I hope you enjoy "The Book Of Random".

Chapter 1: "Jam-Jar-Boree"

My dad and I made this jar contraption this summer. I am fond of this picture because it reminds me of the great time we had constructing this together. My dad is a gem and he does nothing but perfection in his work. I thought this picture played off of the sun really awesomely! The jam jars have a great effect when sun shines through.


Chapter 2: "Purple Ray-ne"

This picture reminds me of how gorgeous nature can be! You can see the river running through with the grass which is still green! When adding the effect on this picture the purple really caught my eye! As it is my favorite color, but it gives the picture an unrealistic quality about it. Although, it is the suns beauty in all of its glory.


Chapter 3: "Clear Intentions"

As this is one of my favorite quotes, it is proudly displayed in my room. Can't you just feel the serene beauty from the nature that reflects through? I am always amazed with the gorgeous sunrises that happen through this window!


Chapter 4: "Neat-ure Walk"

Fall is upon us, even though it doesn't feel like it! Red leaves are my absolute favorite. I had to take a snap of this because there are red leaves amidst the green grass! I hope to dedicate a full album to fall, because it is my absolute favorite time of the year!


Chapter 5: "Unexpected Sights"

During a recent trip to Rapid City, we stopped randomly on the side of the road to take a picture. Suddenly we looked over the edge and saw this gorgeous view. Its amazing the things you discover when you are least expecting it! Shout out to my adventure buddy!


Chapter 6: "Bridges to the Unknown"

On the nature walk we had a few weeks back, I had to stop and take a picture of this. I am a sucker for rustic bridges and to come across a wood bridge is my favorite thing! The sun was so powerful and casted a strong shadow effect from the structure and support of the bridge. Let it inspire you if you wish!


Chapter 7: "Passion with a Purpose"

This picture is one of my favorites from the collection. Not because of its quality, but because of its meaning. My friend has been working hard to establish a non-profit organization. She is in the starting stages, but she is already doing such a wonderful thing! She is making and collecting clay pots from her local high school. Selling these gorgeous pots, mugs, and vases for only $10. 100% of the proceeds goes to Kids Against Hunger. Anyway, I decided to buy one of them and make an arrangement of flowers in them. So, here is to my friend in pursuing her passion to change the world.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
