Roll with the punches an #ootd

I've very lucky that I'm taking on a 4 year bachelors degree program, in a field that I've been passionate about since I was a child. I realize that some people who don't go through this have a harder time with routine or might not be as disciplined. This also has to do with who they are and how they grew up. This doesn't mean that people who don't go to school can't be as successful because that's not the case at all, but recently, I was reading #GIRLBOSS and Amoruso was talking about how she wishes she could have had the will power to go to university (but her not going allowed her to build her empire). This made me think about how stressful school is right now, but also how the grades that I'm getting and the work that I'm assigned is not the be and end all of my fashion career & how one technical outerwear jacket does not define my capabilities as a fashion designer.

New Year Resolutions & Hello 2013

I've literally been thinking about resolutions for ages I feel like. Every year that little voice in your head tells you "this year will be different, you will be more productive and not listen to those irrelevant people" Except every year we don't listen to the voice because its virtually impossible to do all those things and still be HUMAN. I guess i'll list my 3 resolutions for this year (I usually have 3)

 1. TAKE RISKS

Okay, this may sound typical, but I really plan to follow through with this resolution this year. I want to take risks fashion wise, beauty wise, with my appearance with my life. I want to be a risk taker this year.

 2. DON'T MAKE EFFORT ON THOSE WHO DON'T TOWARDS YOU

That was a bit confusing...hahah. So basically, I always feel as if I'm the person to reach out and speak to distant friends or just friends in general. I've realized this past year "If its meant to be, it'll be" I can't keep wasting time on making effort on those who could care less about me.

 3. MAKE PROGRESS

My self goals include, saving for a destination trip, having fun in school and to please everyone (a bit far fetched and unreachable the last one I realize) I really want to focus on reaching future goals. I try too hard all the time to make things work out and I haven't noticed a great deal of change.

What's your resolution?
