 On November 11, socially distanced at her friends house, Lilly Morlan diligently works on Chemistry homework while listening to music. Due to COVID-19, studying with friends has been much harder, but Morlan finds a way to make adjustments. 


The Best of Billy Joel spins on Maya Hendrickson’s portable record player, located in the bedroom of their home in Portland, Oregon. Hendrickson received the record player Jennifer Hendrickson, their mother. “I like listening to records because it’s nice to have a physical copy of the music I listen to,” said Hendrickson.

A pumpkin sits in front of a brick wall, capturing the fall beauty in everyday life. In November, the fall season is quickly turning to winter, but the pumpkin still sits until it slowly rots away.
