MY Life in XMU

An overhead photographic view of a cafeteria table on Xiamen University’s campus, covered with a vibrant assortment of local dishes served on simple white trays. Bowls of steaming noodle soup, colorful stir-fried vegetables, glossy braised meat, and neatly arranged side dishes sit next to a bright orange reusable cup with an XMU logo. The smooth laminate tabletop has faint scratches that hint at daily student life. Diffused midday light from large windows creates even illumination with gentle highlights on the glossy food surfaces. The mood is lively and appetizing, with a playful arrangement of chopsticks and sauce packets forming subtle patterns, captured in crisp detail with sharp focus throughout the frame.

Guide Tips Dorms

A cheerful dorm room desk at XMU, tightly framed, with a light wood surface cluttered in a charming way: open pastel-colored planners, sticky notes with doodles, a small cactus in a bright yellow pot, and a laptop displaying a playful XMU-themed wallpaper. Next to it, a clear jar overflows with multicolored pens and washi tapes. Warm afternoon sunlight pours in from an unseen window, casting soft, elongated shadows and highlighting the textures of paper and wood. The atmosphere feels playful, cozy, and creative. Shot from a slightly elevated angle in photographic realism, with a shallow depth of field that keeps the desk objects in crisp focus while the dorm bed and fairy lights in the background blur into soft bokeh.
