I mean, how could I not? Honestly, Manhattan in and of itself changes me, so attending classes about the one thing I love, IN Manhattan, just tops it all off. The adrenaline I get just off walking to class is exhilarating, I instantly feel 10x more independent and I get this feeling where any opportunity can come about any minute. When I&#8217;m at FIT I feel I can put everything else aside and focus on the thing I love to do: fashion. Here I feel like nothing else matters and I have the to freedom to just absorb everything around me, whether it be in class or inspiration on the streets.<\/p>\n<p>FIT has also changed me in terms of knowledge with the fashion industry (obviously!). After taking classes I feel so much more educated with fashion-related topics, my favorite part of this is that I can apply my knowledge to everyday experiences, such as when I go shopping. For example, when I see a store&#8217;s window or how the mannequins are dressed I now think about how much thought went into each window and the key things that a person had to keep in mind while styling the mannequin or decorating the window.<\/p>\n<p>Now, some things about this weeks class: This week we just briefly went over the fashion cycle and things of that nature. Then, we took a trip to the <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.fitnyc.edu\/library.asp');\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.fitnyc.edu\/library.asp\">FIT Library<\/a> for an overview of how to use the databases and some forecasting services. I am so thrilled to be able to have access to these amazing tools (that I can literally spend all day on). Not only will these tools benefit me for my curiosity and interest but they will also help me immensely with the three projects I will have to do (which I promise I&#8217;ll share).
