Well, hello there! I am so<\/strong> happy you decided to stop by. Let\u2019s start with introductions, I\u2019ll go first – My name is Brendan Charles, I\u2019m nineteen years old born and raised in upstate New York, Saratoga to be exact. I\u2019m a sophomore Advertising and Marketing Communications student at the Fashion Institute of Technology and I think this major and school are the perfect \u201cfit\u201d for me, pun intended!<\/p>\n

A few random facts about me incase you\u2019re curious – I\u2019m a Sagittarius, I love to eat french fries and guacamole (separately), I have a lifelong love and appreciation for musical theater, I\u2019m very much obsessed with Christmas and everything that has to do with it, and I really enjoy spending time with my family and friends (awwww.)<\/p>\n

OH, and last week I saw Cameron Diaz at Fred Segal, and I talked her out of buying this truly heinous angora sweater. Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed (whoever can name that movie gets a gold star hehe!)<\/p>\n

Boy does it feel good to be back at FIT for my sophomore year! After a fun, relaxing summer upstate, I was itching to be back in the city. I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better freshman year. I made amazing friends, had fantastic experiences and opportunities and began to find my place within FIT and New York City.<\/p>\n

This year I\u2019m living in Kaufman, FIT\u2019s upperclassman housing located on 31st and 9th ave. What an upgrade from last year…I actually have a kitchen and bathroom of my own! Not having either last year definitely proved to me how much I took them granted. However, I do miss the convenience of living in Co-Ed, where I could leave my dorm room 2 minutes before class started and still make it on time!<\/p>\n

To quote L.M. Montgomery\u2019s Anne of Greene Gables, <\/em>\u201cI\u2019m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.\u201d <\/em>Fall is officially upon us and I am loving every second of it. The air is fresh and crisp, Central Park turns from shades of green to a palette of oranges, yellows and reds, pumpkin flavored everything is being sold EVERYWHERE. Being a fashion student it\u2019s something I look forward to all year – break out the sweaters, boots, jeans and scarves.<\/p>\n

I have survived my midterms and look forward to the rest of the semester. I am so proud and honored to be one of the FIT Admissions Student Bloggers, and can\u2019t wait to share my experiences with my readers! I hope you are all just as excited as I am!<\/p>\n
