HUGE NEWS!

HELLO PEOPLE OF THE INTERNET. I HAVE FANFRICKINTASTIC NEWS! However, to make you read the entire post I'm going to tell you what I've been up to first. Number one reason why I have not posted in almost a month is because uh hello, I'm in college now! I'm a busy girl now! I've warmed up to Pittsburgh and I've gone to multiple events. I actually have midterms next week so I need to study. But tonight I have an event called Come One, Come All, Come Couture. It's an event really focused on modeling and I'll be needing some models soon. But the past month, I've joined the Art Institute of Pittsburgh's House of Fashion club, I've signed up to volunteer for Pittsburgh Fashion Week and last Thursday, my new Fashion Design friend, Sammi and I went to an FGI Pittsburgh event! FGI stands for Fashion Group International. We're trying to extend the group into Pittsburgh. FGI exists to connect all the people involved in the fashion industry in a city. The event was fantastic and a huge hit! Now, my huge announcement... Sammi and I auditioned to present in AIP's Back to Back Student Show during Pittsburgh Fashion Week. We were the only two freshman waiting to audition. Needless to say, we both had uneasy, anxious stomachs throughout the week. However! WE MADE IT! I WILL BE PRESENTING IN PITTSBURGH FASHION WEEK!!!!!!! This is it guys! My career is officially starting and you all get to watch everything unfold! Every single second of my life has led me to this moment. Every laugh, every tear, every friendship, every fight, everything. Please, take this as inspiration to keep going! I can't tell you how many times I gave up and came so incredibly close to ending it all. But looking back on all of that, it makes me so proud. To know that I pushed through that, so keep pushing! As Talia always said, (which technically speaking, Dory always said) Just keep swimming! Of course there's the question will I make it? And duh I've asked myself that! But the only way you can truly ever know for sure, is to try. And when you fail, when you think you've done all you can do, there's more. Never give up on yourself. This turned out to be a really inspiring post haha! Well now that the news is out, here are some pictures of the past month! Obvi the picture of me and another girl in dresses is from the FGI event and that's Sammi! My fellow designer! Well I hope everyone has a fantastic week and I hope to post again next Friday!
