Settling Down...

My FINAL summer is more than half way over.
Yes, my final summer break before I have to become a responsible adult is coming to a close and it is safe to say that I am freaking out just a little bit.

I can't believe college is coming to a close.  I only have two semesters left and so much that I want to accomplish and experience.  Looking at my already packed agenda for this next semester stresses me out.  I already have plans for the majority of the weekends.  How am I going to fit in football game tailgates, work, or actual school work into my already packed schedule?  How am I supposed to enjoy my last year with so many things going on?  And the most terrifying question: What am I going to do with my life after I walk across that stage next May and accept my diploma?

I have spent the past three years working extremely hard and sleeping very little to earn my BFA in Fashion Design, but recently I have questioned whether I really want to spend the rest of my life with a sewing machine or not.  These doubts have led me to purchase a LSAT prep book.  I have looked into a few law schools and have decided to take the LSAT and apply to a few schools so I at least have something to do with my life.

I know I want to be a Leadership Consultant for my sorority.  It is a very competitive application and selection process though so I absolutely need a backup plan.

Will I go to law school?  Will I pursue fashion design?  Where will I be a year from now?  I honestly don't know.  I have so many things that I would like to do and so many places that I want to see.



I have narrowed my potential careers down to an always expanding and random list:

-Leadership Consultant for my sorority
-Travel Channel show host
-Work for a fashion magazine
-News Anchor
-Senator's Wife
-Designer at Lilly Pulitzer
- Lawyer for Fashion Brand
-Chelsea Handler
-Celebrity Stylist
-Professional Adventurer
-Bakery Owner
-Katy Perry
-Great wardrobe owner

Okay, so some of my potential careers are ridiculously absurd and not rational, but a girl can dream.  One thing I do know is I don't want a boring life.  I want a big and exciting life with an exciting and important career.  Hence my new favorite quote:

I promise to never settle.  I will never settle for a life that is less than the one I know that I am capable of living.

I'll keep you all updated on my search for myself and my future career, but until then...

Stay Classy,
