I am moving into finals week of my junior. It made me release that I am almost a senior in high school. How did this happen? It seems like a few weeks ago junior year was starting and I had the assumption that the year ahead would be challenging and demanding. Boy was that true! It is now a three day weekend(thank goodness) and I have a little bit of time before school is out to reflect over the last year, think of what lies in the future and take in the last few days of being a junior!
This time last year, I was preparing for my trip to Spain, and trying to wrapping my head around walking from the french border to Santiago de Compostela! A year later, I don't know how I feel about the trip. I definitely wasn't as life changing as I thought. In a certain way it was, it did change many things within my life, just not in a positive way. But I won't get into that now.
However, I was incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to such a beautiful and culturally rich place. The experience really did influence my fashion and esthetics. I have notice that over this past year, I have been wearing more neutral tones and lots of scarves! When I go into design as a career I will most definitely incorporate the soft tones, smooth drapes and simplicity into my work!
SENIOR YEAR! It will be wonderful. Challenging, but wonderful! I am so very grateful to be part of such a wonderful school and community! I think that one of the most shocking aspects of being a senior is that one realizes that this is it. After this year, most everyone will be on their own, pushed out into the world with what they have learned and how much motivation and drive they have to succeed! Yes, very scary!
