Six Struggles Of Being An Apparel Student

1. People don't get your major.

It's not just arts and crafts, people. Nothing is worse than people discrediting your program just because it involves creativity and not math or science. Being an apparel and textiles major is just as hard as any other major, just in different ways.

2. Constantly having projects and tons of stress from that.

Apparel students spend hours in the library -- there were countless nights spent in the library working on group projects or preparing for presentations.

3. A professor hates your work.

More often than not, professors don’t like the angle of the research paper, or the way you designed your project. Nothing is worse than spending hours on your assignment only to be shot down.

4. You feel like you won't be successful if you miss one thing.

Like any other major, there is tons of pressure to get involved with every club and get internships and constantly get prepared for your career. Sometimes it just cannot all be done and that’s okay!

5. You do poorly on an exam, or project, and beg for forgiveness and points from teachers.

Also, like most students, there will be a time when you just don’t do well. Sometimes you have to resort to begging for an extra chance or extra points to keep your grade in the class.

6. You have to pick groups for projects.

In reality, group projects are actually the worst thing ever. And when the teacher says, “pick your group members,” there is a mad rush to find your friends and the people who would be the best to work with.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
