Thou Shalt..

Its time to get my act together.. new vows!
1. Thou shalt update my blog at LEAST once a week
2. Thou shalt keep up with all coursework just like thou has been doing… horray!
3. Thou shalt get more followers!
So now that’s sorted, let’s have a catch up. In my time away i have traveled to the wondrous Istanbul, got my first fully deserved distinction and have the best university news!! Now then, lets start from the top…
ISTANBUL
On the 9th of February me, 44 other college students and 5 tutors spent 5 of the most amazing days in Istantbul, Turkey. I cant even begin to describe the amount of fun we all had or even how it was once of the best experiences of my life! I’ll let the pictures explain…
That was the land of mosques, apple tea, water pipes, perverts, kebabs and cheap booze! One memory never to be lost!!
Yesterday was my one and only university interview for Writing Fashion and Culture for Southampton Solent. After a week of sick to the stomach nerves, panic attacks and tears yesterday was the day i dreading. Not only the fact that it was where i really wanted to go… but it was my ONLY option!! Anyway, after prepping for ‘trick you out’ questions and all things fashion i neednt have! They just basically wanted to know what your about as a person. How passionate you are about the course and how you write. In the interviewers words ‘it’s one of the best personal statements i’ve ever seen’ and ‘We’d be idiots not to give you an offer’! I could have screamed there and then!! I, with the final result of a Merit (easy ;) ) will be attending university at Southampton Solent! HORRAAAY! I can honestly say i am so proud of myself! I didnt shy away from hiding my personality and i just felt t ease. Its the only place i wanted to be and i’m almost there! IM SO EXCITED!!
To keep you up to date with college, we are currently doing a Brighton based project with interior. We are to create a spaced including a piece of seating, wall art and a form of light designed around a theme associated with brighton. Exciting, aye? My chosen theme is Bringing A Vintage Summer To The 21st Century. You’rll just have to wait for my next post to now more!
Til then xxx
