College isn't for everyone (RANT)
It all starts the minute you take your first terrifying steps into your first day in elementary school! I would start this at kindergarten but I actually enjoyed finger painting and nap time. I'm talking about the inevitable decision we will all face at some time, "to go to college or to live your life". The "adults" will push you towards an education with all of their power, but is this really what it takes to become successful? (let me know if you figure this out). Just to clarify I am working on a college degree, and what I mean by working is "pushing through". My reasoning for this is none other than to make my parents happy, and of course fear; you see fear is keeping me from following my fashion industry idols and fleeing to New York city to GOGO dance until I can sleep with someone influential enough to put me on the fashion map, but we all have dreams, anyway, I understand this "degree" is a much more substantial way of accomplishing something in life, but I've been thinking lately and I have to disagree ...can a piece of paper saying I graduated really be my meal ticket? and if so what sort of meal am I eating... is this degree offering me caviar and champagne or mozzarella sticks at the local diner! In fact, after hearing the sob-stories of my peers and random strangers bout their lack of a job and financial stability, I think my new fear will be paying back student loans! College simply ISN'T for everyone; What exactly are we paying for? is it the education.. or the experience? Or Is it the possibility of success? If that is the reason than I don't think a "possibility" is worth 20,000 dollars in student loans, forgotten lectures and memories of road trips to the beach in Florida. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from attending a university, I actually think some people will greatly benefit from college and "those people" can be narrowed down to those going to medical school, law school, a prestigious business school or individuals with parents in the position to write a check to a university each year. Being that I have made the decision to finish up my degree, I am now going through what I would like to call "university withdrawal better known as senior-itis. Its the wonderful realization that you spent the last 4 years of your life in college and the fruit of your labor is IN FACT!.... wait for it! A piece of paper. PLEASE be sure that you go into college knowing what the fuck you want to do, or at least attend a university that offers a major you can benefit from. If your like me and you work with the left side of your brain, and would rather live a creative life... don't waste your money studying oh I don't know...Sociology?! It pays to not enter college with the idea that a career will just come to you. It wont, do some studying of yourself as an individual, figure out where you want to be at 30...career city and all; and if this requires an education take your pre-requisites at a community college until you have done some serious planning for the next 5 years of your life. That is my suggestion. I am currently freelance writing for magazines, and this is obtained by a friend in the fashion industry. Not my university, whatever happens next in my life will be due to extensive hard work on my part... and if I get desperate I will have a degree to fall back on... I think?

Current Inspiration
Is it weird that i find myself torn between two worlds when it comes to my current style inspiration, One, if based on bare aesthetics could lead an individual to believe it was governed by the wicked witch of the east and the other by the wicked witch of the west, its complete confusion! I know what your thinking; "fashion style is subjective, its fun to play around with different looks", blah blah blah! But I cant help it if I like direction in my life! as a matter of fact, I decided at 10 years old that i wanted to work in the fashion business. So as you should now be able to conclude...too many options make me crazy.
But Dammit theres just something about dressing like a male teen witch who works at an art dealership that makes me feel like a total badass. and then, i do love a nice casual luxury prep look, i like to call it "art dealers kid".
And people look at you like such a stud when your chinos coordinate with your cashmere sweater... Sigh, guess ill just have to find a way to make it work.. The girls from the craft did a pretty good job at it after all.
