photo cred | Miho Aikawa

Sharing a meal has always been something that I valued. As much as possible, I allow myself to take advantage of this time to focus on food and not anything else that is preoccupying my mind. However, for a college student that is sometimes not possible. Naturally, I’m a slow eater – if I could, I’d take an hour long lunch break. Instead my days sometimes allow me just 25 minutes to grab something and finish it before I leave for my next appointment. It’s funny cause Evan and I were JUST talking about this the other day about how sometimes we are so busy that most of the time, we are multitasking as we are eating. It’s tricky stuff trying to balance a fork in one hand and a pencil in the other, but you do what you have to do.

Story of everyone’s life, right?

I thought this photo series developed by photographer Miho Aikawa captured this modern day scenario perfectly.
