Coffee, coffee, coffee!

I'd apologize, I would, but I'm sure you're sick of my apologies. I'm exhausted. I think If you tallied the hours I've slept and the amount of coffee I had the coffee would seriously out weigh the amount of hours I have slept. However, I don't care. This week has been amazing. In my design class we've moved to actually designing and we got to design "evening ware" yesterday. It made my day. It's weird because I'm used to being around non-artistic people in all my other classes that just are bad and draw stick people. The more artistic students get praised for their creativity and talent while the other students are jealous of a students work (speaking of the general population here, not myself). However in my Illustration class everyone is AMAZING and the teacher is like, "yeah, that's not good" when it's one of the best things you've ever done. It's both depressing and wonderful because it pushes you but it also makes you want to either cry or laugh because of exhaustion from the effort and hours you put into your work.
Enough rambling though. Except, all of that rambling brings my to my post of today. My favorite teacher in the whole wide world gave me some amazing advice on a day last year where I didn't look my best. "Dress for the job you want. This industry is about networking and making a good impression on people. You never know when you are going to happen to meet someone who could benefit you in the long run. I know you're tired but put the extra effort in always looking your best because the one day you don't will be the day you run into the most valuable person"
You have to constantly be "working". People want to hire people who are professional and look like they mean business. Literally every time I've asked what my major is I look like crap. Which isn't cool because then it's like a joke. I just know people are thinking are you SERIOUS. You look like that and you're going to DESIGN clothes. It's embarrassing. I guess this is more of an encouraging post than anything. I know most of you are just as exhausted as me. Lay your clothes out the night before or what ever works for you. I'm sure this post is making no sense and is organized poorly but I just can't make coherent sentences any longer. Just put in the extra effort and stay beautiful!
