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
