Spring has sprung in New York City and I am welcoming it with open arms!
Hello again my friends! I am back from my break, and let me tell you that being welcomed by warm weather was the perfect pick-me-up. It was just what I needed after spending my “spring” break back home in Spokane, Washington. Let’s just say that I felt as though I was on Winter break 2.0.
With rain, and a bit of snow throughout my stay, it was refreshing to return to New York City and see a forecast of high 60’s and 70’s, as well as flowers and trees in bloom everywhere I turned.
I don’t know about you, but for me, warm weather is a mood booster. It’s like a shot of energy when you feel as though you don’t have any left.
With only 6 weeks of classes remaining until final exams and then summer, the anticipation is building, as the energy is slowly draining. But with sunshine around me and only one last stretch to go, I am pushing through by setting goals and sticking to them. Motivation is my current muse, and I want to share my thoughts on aiming for success when focus and drive is the last thing on your mind.
Every one of us faces a time in our life when we feel that the stress is overwhelming and our To-Do list is far too long. Instead of letting that stress drag you down, look at it this way—if you weren’t stressed, you wouldn’t care. Your anxiety over school and deadlines is a natural reaction to your desire to complete your very best work. With college, and a career in the fashion industry and business in your future, know that stress is inevitable—but also know that through goal setting and a positive mindset, any amount of worry can be overcome.
Here are my quick tips for beating the bad thoughts and bringing in the bright ones! As a future LIM College student, and a lover of fashion, these will help you achieve balance!
I can’t wait for you to attend LIM College, and to experience fashion, business, and New York City life on a whole new level. You will learn new things every day, about yourself, about this industry, and about this world. Set goals, get motivated, and GET HERE. You will love it, and through focus and drive you can truly be the best version of yourself. Whatever it may be, don’t procrastinate, just get out there and go for it!
I believe in you xoxo.
