I arrived in the Academic Plaza before four in the afternoon and noticed two people lying in their hammocks, which were on opposite ends of the plaza. The sun radiated through the leaves and a light breeze kept the plaza cool and balmy. One of the hammocks was a bright turquoise color and it quickly caught my eye. I decided to approach this person versus the other because she was closer in proximity to me and exuded a friendly aura. Haley’s hammock dangled in one of the larger trees in the area from a notably large branch, which was near enough to the ground for her to reach. She inhabited her double-nested Eno hammock alone while completing an assignment on her laptop. Haley’s earphones resided within her ears when I approached, so my introduction exerted a slight awkwardness; however, we exchanged a little information about ourselves and Ms. Page was kind enough to agree to respond to my prepared questions.
Prepared Questions:
• How often do you hang your hammock outside?
• When did you hammock for the first time?
• Are there other locations that you enjoy doing this, or do you primarily hammock in the Academic Plaza?
• What kind of activities do you typically do during your time here?

Those girls left right as my interview was ending, which was interesting because Haley stayed and so did the other hammock that was up when I first arrived. It would be interesting to test how long someone will stay in a tree alone versus being with others. Another observation I sighted while being in the Academic Plaza was that passersby’s would glance at each hammock while traveling through the plaza. I am curious if the reason Hammock Culture has spread is because of its visibility in a high-traffic part of campus, but I do know that further investigations will shed light on my new questions in
