I am working for the hottest Olympics team ever.
Team America.
Reading week at Northwestern is here and I am being DESTROYED by final prep.
Seminar Essay check, Statistics Review (so far) check.
Economics just took 'difficult' to a new level.
Just wait until after the finals....I AM GOING TO READ FUN BOOKS (1984, All the King's Men, The Catcher in the Rye, Freakonomics....Colbert?).
Of course, AFTER I quickly skim over the textbooks for my classes next quarter...
O-M-G
Deering library has SO MANY BOOKS on design.
MUST-BORROW-ALL-FOR-WINTER-BREAK.
Stop.
So apparently I went crazy on Black Friday. I basically spent more than a month’s worth of my salary that I get from working at Kellogg Business School (no, NOT the cereal brand) but it was all worth it. I am now in love with Forever 21 and New York & Co.
Vogue and InStyle are denying me of my fashion goodness <\3
Checked out Paul Poiret as recommended by Prof. Fischer. Love his "Mandarin" coat design.
and the colors shape my world.
I finally realized today why the suicide rate is so high for college students. It's not because of the stress, the sudden change in environment, home sickness, it's the grades.
Grades you earn in college are an adjustment. Most of us just simply aren't used to anything under an A- but college is all about separating the better from the good, good from the bad.
At least there are curves to make or break you.
Apparently there's a professor here at Northwestern who's teaching a course called "Business of Fashion."
Currently working on setting up a meeting with him to discuss my options. At least I know what I'll be doing this summer.
Secret Santa: OMGICANTPICKOUTAPRESENT.
My works.
I have decided. I am designing my own wedding dress.
Nascar, diner table cloth, French. What ever you want to call it.
I need to make this.
OK.
After hours of searching for internships and reading Parson's website about their summer programs, I still haven't decided.
Most internships are so competitive and not attending an art school doesn't help. Northwestern is so fashion-deprived. Everyone wears the same brands. I need to start a club here or something.
Thought of the day: Most impractical combination: mini skirts and Uggs. If it's warm enough to wear the skirt your feet are going to sweat and smell from the heat, and when it's cold enough to wear those Uggs your legs are going to freeze.
Sacrifices for fashion should be made, though only if you don't look stupid while doing it.
