Decisions, decisions.

Math class was as sucky as usual, so I walked out today. I decided to take my confused ass to the library and print out my degree plan instead. Although I thought I had it figured out, after today, I'll probably go crazy. I noticed that I'm pretty much ready to start on my upper classman courses but to do that, I must decide what it is I want to major in. If you would of asked me a couple of years ago I wouldn't of thought twice before shouting out "Fashion Merchandising/Marketing". If you would of asked me last week, I would of said "Public Relations/Advertising". The thing is they are both very much alike. I have a true love for fashion and will forever be obssessed, however, the practical side of my brain keeps reminding me that the economy is to shits right now, PR is the way to go. But then I wondered maybe the reason for my recent disinterest in school is the result of a major that is my 2nd choice rather than my 1st. Fashion has always been my first choice, I have always dreamed of being a stylist. Ever since I was young and playing with Barbies you would hear me say, "I'm accessorizing!". Thanks to the last hour I spent researching several careers and what not, I am more confused today than I was years ago. Should I follow my heart? Should I play it safe? After my post yesterday, I think playing it safe is out of the question. I think I'm going back to Fashion. If it fails, oh well! At least I tried. I won't have to wonder "what if?". I can say that I tried and I failed. However, the only way to fail, is to give up. I don't plan on giving up. I'm going to make this happen. Just like I've made plenty of other things happen, this too shall happen for me. My final conclusion came to being that if I enroll in a couple of Fashion courses, my interest level will rise again, I will stay focused and be steadily reminded of what I'm working for. Not just a degree to have a secure future. But a degree to have the dream career that I've always wanted. With that said, Fashion Marketing/Merchandising it is! And if I don't finish by the time I move to LA, then you guys might just hear from me as a student of FIDM. Tootles!
