week 11 - Alexandra Macia

Farmers Market: 
Aahna Gosh, a freshman government and politics major, spends her spare time on Wednesdays going to the Farmers Market. She will usually go in the morning in hopes of getting a coffee to help fuel her for the day. The Farmers Market occurs weekly every Wednesday at the University of Maryland, attracting many students.

Front Desk Dorm Assistants 
Shylee, a junior at the University of Maryland, spends her spare time working at the front desk of Queen Annes Dorm. She helps students receive packages, and get a spare key or swipe if needed. On almost all dorms on campus students are needed to work the front desks. This is a paid position. 




Sam Bollonger, a sophomore at the University of Maryland also works the front desk at Queen Annes Hall. He is a favorite amongst students as he makes a point to greet each resident of the building as they walk through the door. Sam says he will sometimes spend any downtime on the job doing homework, but enjoys his position on desk duty. 
Ally Ruocco, a freshman undecided major, has just freshly painted her nails after classes in order to prepare for her sorority formal later that evening. While waiting for them to dry she logs on to her computer to watch the Netflix show New Girl. 




Julian Perez-Garcia, a sophomore in Writers House, at the University of Maryland spends his past time biking around campus. He keeps his bike outside his dorm, and can be seen chaining it up here so that it does not get stolen overnight.

Week 11 - Colleen Neely

In the Catholic Church, Easter is the most important day of the year. The day celebrates the rise of Jesus Christ to life after enduring crucifixion on Good Friday to pay for the sins of humanity. Many parishes undergo days of preparation for this event. At the Catholic Community of St. Francis Xavier (CCSFX) in Hunt Valley, MD, volunteers spend days preparing the church for the Easter Sunday Masses. The baptismal font at the front of the church is adorned with flowers to remind Catholics of the washing away of sins that also occurs at baptism. In the Catholic Church, parents choose baptism for their children and it is a sacrament typically performed during infancy. As is proclaimed by the banner, Jesus Christ rises on Easter Sunday. This event is considered proof that God will triumph over Satan, that good will always overcome evil. Easter is a central holiday to Catholics, as is seen in the crucifix affixed to the wall behind the alter. A team of volunteers spent da...
