Hey guys! Let me tell you about one the best Fridays! I woke up feeling less than great, wanting to stay in bed all day. I ended up getting a call from my school so I could come in to talk to someone about financial aid. I walked into the FIDM Cafe and sat in my usual seat. I was in there for maybe 10 minutes and my roomie, Ally, walks up to me and tells me I should come with her and the other FIDM social ambassadors to SKY Space LA. Side Note! SKY Space LA is very much like the space needle in Seattle. There is a Sky Slide that goes from the 70th floor down to the 69th on the side of the building! With it being only 5 blocks from FIDM, it was strange that I had never really thought about it before. Sky Space was incredible! FIDM sponsored all of our tickets and we got to see the best parts of Los Angeles and even catch the sunset. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the building (: After we left, a bunch of decided to grab a bite at Fig at 7th, the outside mall a few blocks down. I decided I wanted some pizza so I had to try Pizza Studio. It's such a good place if you're starving for good, cheap pizza your way. I'm definitely coming back to get more pizza! Afterwards, we went into Bath and Body Works and I was so consumed with getting THE perfect Christmas Candle. I was smelling all of them and it hit me. The scent I wanted for the candle had to be Peppermint. NO DOUBT. Not to mention they were having a sale on a 3 wick candle... SCORE! I got the "Let it Snow" Peppermint Candle and dear lord... IT'S SO GOOD. I absolutely had to rearrange my nightstand to fit the candle so this is the finished look (-: I love it.Afterwards Ally and I agreed we NEEDED to get Christmas decor. Yes we know its only November 11th. Deal with it!!! Anyways, we kinda went crazy with the decor. Off the top of my head the things we got... a mini Christmas tree, snowflake clips, ornaments... and we are not done AT ALL. Here's our cute room! It may have taken 4 hours, but we did it and it feels even bigger than before! I love it! I'm gonna do a DIY Christmas Decor Blog soon so watch out for that!... other than that... thanks for my listening to me about my FRIDAY and have a good weekend all! I'm gonna be spending mine relaxing and listening to Taylor Swift's Reputation on repeat (-: xoxo Gwen Siviengxay

So... this one is a bit harder for me to share with you all, but I think it's good to get it off my chest.
FIDM is a great school, I mean it. But I am not sure it's the right school. Adjusting to Los Angeles has been really difficult, and now that I'm settled I thought I would share with you how I feel now. I love the city. but I miss home. Home is where the heart is, and unfortunately, it is not in LA at this time. Over the past month or so, it was just me trying to get used to how different life is here. It's competitive in every way. Every morning I wake up in my room that I share with Ally and I don't want to get out. Lately, I've been questioning if I am even in the right place. I really miss home. But I don't think it's homesick that is talking. I've thought about it clearly and I've come to the conclusion that FIDM just isn't right in career aspect for me. I want to be an event planner from all things big and small, weddings to concerts to grand openings... but it just doesn't seem like the place to be to learn about the safety requirements of a party and how to start your event company. Originally, I wanted to be a stylist. Personal, Celebrity, Sales... you name it, I was up for the challenge. But since coming here and starting my classes, I've learned half of my fellow VCOMM majors want to be stylists. I'm not sure if the possibility of cutthroat competition scared me or if the classes I'm taking now led me into a different direction. Many of you know back in high school I was hands on with planning multiple fashion shows and other events that had to do with school. It's weird to say but I loved having the stress over me of planning something that people would come to and enjoy. I loved the creative freedom and high strung energy it gave me. I was always busy and I loved it! Realizing all of this made it official when I knew I wanted to keep doing it. Fashion Shows are the biggest thing I would love to help out with or plan, it's like I feel amazing after the event runs out smoothly and everything is perfect. Don't get me wrong, I love FIDM, truly. So I think I'll stay a little longer and see if I can volunteer at big events like a show I'm doing next Sunday. (: Anyways, that's a wrap on this weird blog. Thanks for reading! If you have any requests or suggestions you would like for me to blog about, let me know! I have a feedback form on the home page! I would love to hear your ideas! xoxo, Gwen |
