#1

Since I always sleep at my girlfriends house off-campus, the first thing I do in my day is follow her to the busstop, as she has to get to work. Here she is, Agnes Garder, waiting for the bus.

#2

I love being active and working out, so I tend to start off my day by getting in a workout. On this day, I was accompanied by my teammate and fellow Morningside student, Jonas Markfoged. I am helping him stay accountable during his rehab process, after having had two major surgeries on both his knees.

#3

Every morning, I will go to the library to get a head start on my day and the week. I always start off by checking the stock market, as I am into trading. I will then proceed to do whatever homework I might have for the day or the week. As seen in the picture, I have some essentials with me to help me “get in my zone”. My water bottle, a coffee, my headphones, lip balm, and hand lotion. I always bring my cap with me as well, in case of my hair not being the way I want it to be.

#4

Working hard in the classroom and working out, it is important to fuel your body and mind right. I believe a lot in eating healthy to be the best version of yourself. On the plate there is chicken, cauliflower, carrots, red pepper, green beans, chickpeas, and potatoes. My drink of choice is sparkling water. I never try to make my plate look appetizing, I put my energy into making the content of the plate the best for me and my body.

#5

A big part of my day-to-day here at Morningside, is of course going to class. I typically go straight from the cafeteria to class, as it fits my schedule the best. This picture is from my business capstone class, “Business Strategy”. This has been a really good and interesting class, glad it will be my final business class.

#6

An integral part of my experience here at Morningside is connecting with friends. At the Spoonholder Cafe I can combine getting a delicious beverage, while also talking to friends as I have plenty of friends working there. On the picture is my good friend, teammate, fellow Morningside student, Isaac Gould-Monsegue. We both enjoy each others company, so it is always nice when I stop by. Here he is in the midst of making me the “pink drink”, one of my favorites.

#7

Another integral part of my day-to-day at Morningside, is being a part of the men’s soccer team. With soccer being the main reason of coming to the US, it has arguably been the most important aspect of my Morningside experience. I have learned a lot being a part of a great team, winning the conference, qualifying for the national tournament twice, as well as personally receiving all-conference first team honors, and being named captain of the team. I am forever grateful to Morningside Soccer.

#8

Going on walks has been a massive part in my day-to-day here at Morningside. I go on walks daily as it helps me stay healthy physically, but more importantly mentally. I tend to use it as a form of meditation, but not all the time. Majority of the time though, it’s just me and my thoughts, thinking about everything from the day ahead, to whatever my mind thinks about, accepting my thoughts. This has helped me have a clear mind, and to take on each day’s work, both homework and physical training.

#9

Attending other sports has been a very fun part about attending Morningside. With Morningside being a small school, it was important for me to attend and support other sports as much as I could. My favorite sports to attend was volleyball and basketball, as the atmosphere would always be good. This picture is from a men’s volleyball game, which they unfortunately lost despite having an impressive season this year.

#10

Last but not least, my girlfriend, fellow Morningside student, Agnes Garder. Meeting her at Morningside my freshman year, she has arguably been the main reason as to why I decided to come back to Morningside for my senior year. Whatever highs and lows I might’ve gone through, I could always count on her being right there for me. We have been together now for 3,5 years, and I am forever grateful that she was such an integral part of experience here at Morningside, and that Morningside was the place to bring us together.

2/29 – Sounds of Morningside

This is a loud sound, the dreaded fire alarm. It’s a students worst nightmare to get woken up by this sound at 4AM on a cold night in January, or any night or day really.
The famous campus squirrel. Whenever you walk, you’ll hear them rattle around either in the trees or around on the ground.
The American flag blowing in the wind by Lewis Hall. The sound of wind is a critical part of the Morningside experience.

#10 – Editorial

This picture means a lot to me. AAC Champions. The emotions I felt in this moment was indescribable as I achieved something I had worked incredibly hard for. Leaving all my friends and girlfriend behind at Morningside after having spent two years there, to transfer to Florida International University, an enormous D1 school in Miami, FL. No one believed I could and I was being called everything from ‘lucky’ to ‘not good enough’ and ‘stupid’. Not only being a part of a top 10 D1 program, but playing and contributing to winning the most prestigious soccer conference in the country, was everything that I knew I was capable of. This was a moment that proved a lot of people wrong, but most importantly I proved myself right.

#17 – Food

February 23, 2024 / / 0 Comments
This picture is from Texas Roadhouse here in Sioux City, one of my favorite restaurants here in town. As you most likely know, it is hard to photograph food to make it look appetizing and edible. Because of that, I wanted to experiment with it, in terms of getting people (myself) to have a role in the picture. Here you can feel the anticipation of the person to eat the food based on the pose and the angle of the picture. In the end, the anticipation was met with a wonderfully tasting meal, better than it looked.

#12 – Night

February 23, 2024 / / 0 Comments
As someone who isn’t from here, the one thing that has stood out to me since my arrival is the sunsets. My favorite part of the night here in Sioux City, is when the sun is setting, transitioning from day to night. I think most people would agree with me, that sunsets does not get much more beautiful than the ones here in the Siouxland area, and this picture is therefore my take on ‘Siouxland by Night’.

#18 – Fashion

Everything in this picture is on purpose. The location, the colors, the pose, everything. The outfit aesthetic is ‘casual streetwear’, and it therefore fits in a kinda ‘dirty’ setting in front of the vending machines. The picture being black/white highlights the clothes well; The texture of the grey hoodie, the quality and fit of the black pants, and the texture of the grey and white sneakers. The pose also highlights the best of each item; shows the back-print on the hoodie, the fit of the pants, and the size and texture on the sneakers. The outfit: Fear of God Essentials hoodie, Lululemon pants, Puma sneakers. All high quality and expensive pieces of clothing, put together for a simple and clean look.

#2 – Emotion

February 16, 2024 / / 0 Comments
This is a picture of my girlfriend, Agnes Garder. The emotion in this picture is hard to find a specific word for, but I would say that it is a hybrid of excitement and happiness. The moment in which the picture is captured is when I took her out for dinner on Valentine’s Day at Kahill’s Chophouse, arguably the finest restaurant in Sioux City. All the excitement and happiness caught in this picture was a mixture of me getting her flowers, gifts, and lastly letting her dress up (which she also loves) to take her out to her favorite restaurant. I was trying to get a picture of her in her dress while waiting for our table, but her happy emotions came out and I think that I prefer this picture over whatever I would’ve captured.

#11 – Interior

February 16, 2024 / / 0 Comments
This picture is taken inside of the Eppley Auditorium building at Morningside University. This is from the main entrance/lobby to the auditorium, which if you haven’t been, is a long corridor with big glass windows which can be seen in the picture. The corner from where this picture is taken, is my favorite ‘cozy’ place at the university. The furniture being three different colors seems off, but at the same time just right, it fits the aesthetic of the place perfectly, same with the ball-lamps. It is a really clean and simple layout, which is what makes it elegant.
