My life has been a constant adventure. I’ve been moving around since I was three with my family, consisting of only women, living the life of an American gypsy. Seventeen years later, my journeys have given me experience that can be often interpreted as a weird form of insight that has provided some sort of significance in the ed.
I am a dreamer with my head always in the clouds. When I think of life I always refer to my favorite phrase “why not” and figure there is no reason to not live life as I always dreamed it would be?
My fortune has been magically predicted, from achieving greatness, interning at a magazine, at nineteen, and landing a job in fashion merchandising, territory not many aspiring students my age have yet to tread through. Unfortunately, not all dreams come with a happy ending. My lucky streak had to come to an end when my work load became too much for me to handle. I had to give it all up for the sake of my education. That’s when life gave me a slap in the face and I came to terms with my new lifestyle.
My first year of college I prayed to not have to work at all, and that my only worry would be school. Being the wonder woman I am, I couldn’t dream of ending my days in mail-call, confirmations, and fixtures. For about a month I felt as if I had failed. After all, you’d have to be crazy to give up working with a magazine. Everyone I knew lectured me about how I needed to learn to hang out at student lounges go to school activities, and catch a movie every once and a while, like every normal teenager should do. So when that window opened, I jumped right through it. I had to take it as having the opportunity to do everything right. No one said I had to achieve greatness by the time I reach twenty-one. All play and no work was beginning to sound great.
My fresh new start (AKA: Spring semester) a good friend of mine decided to sign up for a summer abroad program in France. The process went by faster than we had imagined, and the somehow three months flew by and we were off to Europe. Personally, I have never left the U.S. You could move me anywhere and I can adjust, but this was the biggest mission I every attempted.
Now ready to begin my quarter, this gypsy is ready to become an international traveler.
