Currently listening to: Joey Green and K.eye.D - Girls Love Clothes
Right now I’m supposed to be studying for a final that I have at 8am. It is 11:00 and if I don’t have everything in my brain right now, realistically I won’t have it by the morning. So…I blog and eat my awesome study break snack.* (Don’t hate)
Why am I here? I have to re-up this tumblr account for professional reasons. With that said, I suppose quite a few updates are in store, no? (how obnoxious is that? I’m not french.)
Let’s see, I’ve been back at Spelman this semester, working at a local non-profit on their L’Oreal Paris account, traveling, reconnecting, running, networking, dating (in moderation) and living. There will be more posts to go in depth on these things in the next few weeks. There are stories, get your tea ready. #pinkiesup
But for now, I’d like to present my current and most ____ situation of the moment: I’m leaving Spelman…again.
I’m 27, single and paying for school without the help of mommy and daddy this go ‘round. Debt to Income ratios are real and if I stay at Spelman, the only thing that will be keeping me warm at night will be my degree…and maybe a sugar daddy if I found one (UGH). Money was the main reason that motivated me to leave the school. Other factors included that fact that I am 27. When I first came to the school at 17 it was a great choice for a young black women trying to find out who I was, buuuuuuuut I know who I am at this age. I’ve traveled. I’ve experienced life. I know my potential. There is nothing left to tap into at that institution besides a grand amount of debt.
So what’s next? Two options:
Transfer to GA Tech (which includes me going to GA Perimeter -community college for a year and a HALF)
Bump all that and head to portfolio school a Creative Circus. (The non-creatives in my family and circle are not too happy about this one, oh well)
Personally, I favor the latter of the two as I save over two years worth of funds for college and get my leg up for my career goal in creative advertising.
I went for Creative Circus’ open house last weekend and fell in love. But I have a few coffees and meetings in store with some industry heads and leaders in town to get their take this week. I need clarity. I’m not fearful as to what may be in store….I just want to make sure I don’t waste money. #MeeshTheMiser
*I haven’t posted on here in a minute, but this new text editor is crap for loading images. BOOO!
