FIT is almost over (sad face!) but I\u2019ve had such an amazing experience. I loved meeting great people and making friends, and of course writing on FIT\u2019s blog. I have 15 days left of school (but who\u2019s counting?) and then finals\/regents before the summer comes. I\u2019m working all summer at a boring food place. My professor told us to get a job in retail starting out but nobody wants to hire at 15! However, over the summer I plan on shadowing my mom\u2019s cousin who is a buyer for Bloomingdales for a couple of days! I also plan on interning as a stylist’s assistant, which should be a great opportunity! Overall, my summer plans are going to keep me pretty busy, but I will definitely be taking the classes at GIT in the spring semester!<\/p>\n
If you are thinking about taking a class at FIT- go for it! I would recommend taking a morning class because it doesn\u2019t waste the whole day- you can meet up with your friends later (I always could get home by 2pm) or hang out in the city! I\u2019ve also had friends come and meet me in the city, which is a fun way to spend the day. \u00a0If think you might feel uncomfortable not knowing anybody, try signing up with a friend! Even if you don\u2019t take the same class you will have a train buddy and you can meet up after class! However, once you\u2019re in class, be outgoing and speak up! \u00a0In my first class everyone was very quiet and attached to their BlackBerrys, but introduce yourself to the people next to you and find out where they\u2019re from. I promise everyone will be glad you did.<\/p>\n
The last thing- it is a class. You will have assignments and grades – so be prepared. But you should really enjoy everything you are doing (I did!) and try to make the most out of class while you\u2019re there (that means put down the smartphone!). Finally, FIT is great because they have the fall, spring, and summer semesters. If you play a fall sport, it might be better to take a spring class. Try not to fill up your schedule too much so you can avoid getting over tired and burnt out. I\u2019m already excited for the fall semester and I hope to see you all there! Look out for my next post covering The\u00a0High School of Fashion Industries\u2019 fashion show!
