My Fabulous FIT friends!

One of my favorite things about the other students at FIT isn’t just scoping out their awesome outfits, everyone is so nice! My class is a very outgoing bunch, so we weren’t shy to introduce ourselves right away. Of course, on our break everyone was craving a caffeine fix (it is an AM class after all!) so we shared stories while on line at Starbucks. We alternated between the Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts during the next couple weeks, where we were introduced to the Wake- up Wrap at Dunkin Donuts (which later became a famous staple in our class.) Of course this only lasted until we found the new gem, aka the FIT cafeteria.

The cafeteria is in between the A and B buildings and opens at 10:30, so if you have a break after that you can get hot chocolate, coffee, an omelet, and more. If not, we usually sit at one of the round tables and chatter about our week or the topics from class. We can all relate to being the fashion crazed student at school, and dealing with the not-so-nice people there. It’s great having people who have such similar interests to hang out with during class.

We are planning a trip to Buffalo Exchange soon. Buffalo Exchange is so much more than a thrift store. You can sell clothes for cash or store credit but they are super-selective, which also means that they have all the best stuff on the floor! I discovered the one on 26th street after HFM 061:The Business of Fashion last semester. I try to go every week after class! The idea for the trip started when I brought in a huge urban outfitters bag of clothes to sell. When people asked me what it was for, I told them it was to sell at Buffalo Exchange. I was astonished how many people didn’t know what it was. It was then that I declared that we would all have to take a trip down after class to go see it, and I later met up with 2 friends there that day! We’re still trying to set a date that works for everyone, but that has been made easier with our Facebook group which helps us to keep in touch, ask a question about an assignment, or just say hi!

I love all of the friends I’ve made. Who else would convince me to buy that gray maxi skirt from Forever 21? I’ve never met a more fun, outgoing, and creative group of people. I hope the friendships last past this class!
