A Year Ago...

I love comparing my life back then and now. It's not like things are totally different, but it's interesting what was going on in my life as well as thoughts and feelings a year ago, and how things are now. When I was still writing for UCD Textstyles, I sounded so optimistic and deer-eyed in my bio. lol not like that's a bad thing, but it's just interesting:

"I deeply believe that everything happens for a reason. For example, if I didn't fail my MAT16B class, I would have never taken TXC6 to replace it and discovered this major (haha)!"

- WOW kris, wow. hahaha then again, I wouldn't put it past me to be so open that "my failure was a catalyst to this decision." lol

"...I love the program because it is so diverse and inter-disciplinary. I fell in love while exploring the science aspect of clothing, and each lecture, class project, or career seminar has kept me content with my decision. I never would've thought I'd have so many options or receive so much encouragement and preparation to do whatever I wanted. I recently went to New York with 19 other TXC ladies and got an amazing first-hand look at the different parts of apparel production; I always thought I'd be a California girl forever, but now I'm contemplating to move to NYC. I'd secretly like to go into menswear just so I can say I know how to dress a man ;) haha! Oh yeah, SAVE TXC<3"


And one of my biggest wishes for myself is that no matter how old I get, that I stay optimistic, take risks, and have the balls to do what makes me HAPPY. Never fucking SETTLE.
