A College Grad?

Yesterday I took my last final EVER. It's a shame that it was Fashion Supply Chain Management. I really would've liked to enjoy my last test. I guess I hadn't imagined myself sitting in the small confined desk, soaking in the feeling of being a student who is being judged by her ability to answer hypothetical questions in a short period of time. ( I hope to never have that feeling again.) I guess you could say that it was a great last test to take, because it's subject I might actually use for a job. Despite the anti-climatic final, I do think I ended this semester with a BANG! The Fashion Merchandising Society put on an amazing fashion show: Eco-Chic. All the designers made their clothing out of recyclable materials and the entire set (a city skyline) was made from trash.

My real learning starts now. My true life learning. I'm excited to learn through experiences, exhibits, and introductions. I seem to always have a mission, relaxing isn't in my blood. My new mission: NYC. I need a roommate or a studio/one bedroom that I can afford by myself. I would love it if this apartment is located in the West Village, steps away from cupcakes, has a friendly doorman and has all the other makings of a "cute little apartment". Maybe I should call this a "dream" rather than a "mission". Anything is possible, right? I'd also like a job that doesn't feel like a job. Freelance work is fine if it comes in bunches :)

This blog is the essence of New York City

New York has taught me how to find inspiration in everything I see and experience. As a result, I am going to use this blog to document inspiring moments that I have leading up to my return to the city. These next few months will be filled with opportunities, including the Fashion Merchandising Society, my last semester as a college student, Washington DC trips, the Fall and Winter, and networking 'til I get a job!

The people I meet inspire me...

As I complete my two months of NYC living, I realize why I can't leave. Sitting in Think Coffee on Mercer Street, I am surrounded by people of amazing backgrounds, thoughts, and ideas. Do I know them personally? No. However, this summer every person that I have met is either trying to achieve a dream or is living their dream. This is incredibly intoxicating. I feel that in these few short weeks, I have been inspired by the people here to become an interesting person, someone who people want to learn about. Below I credit a few of the people that have instilled a spark in me to dream and discover.

~Editors at Seventeen

~Rogan employees with their interests in styling, designing, photography, and forward thinking

~DJs that accept my song requests
