Hello everyone!  When I registered for FIT, I registered with my longtime friend and FIT blogger Martina.  Here’s a picture of the two of us on Coney Island, taken by our friend Leila.  Martina’s on the left, and I’m on the right.  Can’t wait for some warm weather so we can get back to these summertime adventures…

The two of us have been friends since 6th grade and we’ve been though quite a few sartorial phases together… not all of them were so great (especially the ones involving hair dye).  We knew FIT Precollege would allow us to pursue our interest in fashion, while we could also specialize in our different fields of interest.  Of course we were both really excited when we heard about the blogging program and signed up together!  Martina and I have been friends since long before we started at FIT, but the class has provided us with an opportunity to see each other and catch up each week.  During breaks we go to Starbucks, and after class we always get lunch at Pret near FIT.  We love chatting over sandwiches, and some weeks we do a bit of shopping (mainly for sewing supplies) afterwards.   Of course, FIT’s Precollege Programs has allowed me to meet people who I’m not already close with.  All of the girls in my class are very sweet and we always share tips about our patterns or ask each other for advice.  We share our mistakes and successes with pinning and hemming.

The FIT community is very welcoming.  However, I do recommend signing up for Precollege Programs with a friend.  Martina and I take different classes, but we have a great time seeing each other each Saturday.  It’s so fun meeting all the new people at FIT, and it’s also great to have a weekly lunch with a bestie!

Hope you all are enjoying the last of your Spring Break!
