Every university bookstore needs a last minute gift for Aunt Janet to pick up for graduation.
Something that says, "I don't love you enough to crochet you a pot holder set" or, "Lets pretend you spent four years looking at the architecture and not binge drinking".
If you are University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee graduate or relative of a graduate, you will soon be able to buy this gem of a gift featuring my, yes, my amateur photography skills. I spent 2 hours trolling UWM's campus, looking for letters in sculpture, sidewalk cracks and scroll work in fencing on behalf of a Florida based design firm.
Things I noticed.
1. UWM's campus = not all that pretty
2. Even when one is not a student, one can STILL feel the tension of hundreds of insecure 18-22 year olds walking around them. Holy Hormones!
I asked some of my funny friends,
"What do YOU think giving this gift says?"
"Faux Pricey" - Katie A.
"The only thing I know about you is where you go to school." - Alicia S.
"I think it's a decent present if your aunt is old and un-hip" - Carly H.
"Find beauty everywhere, the world can be what you make of it"- Robert
"I don't know you well enough to get you anything personal" - Alicia S.
