Everyone has seen the large statue of the old OSU president in front of Thompson library. This is where I chose to place my sculpture. I got rid of the old one and put myself in its place and built a glass case around it. This is to keep the public out and to keep it safe from any vandalism. It's meant to be looked at, not touched. I included my bookbag in the sculpture, because I always have it with me. I'm running around campus constantly with it on my back, trying to get to class or getting work done. Anywhere I go, it goes. The coffee in my left hand is there because it's what keeps me going. It helps me stay awake and be productive. I think many other college students can relate. I'm also a barista at Starbucks so when I'm not on campus you can be sure to find me at work. I am obsessed with GQ Magazine. I read every issue and pretty much have a copy on me at all times. It's kind of my little escape. I also like it because someday I would love to work for a fashion magazine such as GQ. I chose this location because I am always at Thompson. If I have any downtime, it's usually spent in Thompson. It's a lot easier for me to focus there than anywhere else. This must be what most students feel. That's why I chose to put myself up there with all of my essentials. I feel like students can relate more to this statue than they can to one of an old man in a large cloak.
