future sick

Now that I'm officially half way through my college career I've been thinking a lot about my future. Of course I'm not sure about where I'll end up or how I even think things will pan out, but I think I am getting closer to envisioning a long term goal.

As a fashion design major, a train of thought can go something like this: get internship, hope that they take you on as an employee after you graduate, move to NYC and stay there. Now, I'm not knocking people who want to do that. For a long time that's certainly where my head was. I figured I'd work under some designer/design house and either make my way up or save my money and put out my own line with fingers crossed. However, the more I think about it the less I want to live in NYC....like not at all. So, I'm thinking I'd like to stay where I am or possibly go west. Who knows. What i do know though, is that I want to have my own store.

I think about it a lot. I imagine my storefront, my logo, what the inside would be like, what brands I would carry, the people who would work for me...things like that. I figured I would open a shop and hopefully get the money to start a private label of my own design that I can sell through the store and just work my way up from there. And it's kind of funny because I've always imagined my friends working for me and being useful for one creative outlet or another. Sounds like a dream, sounds fun.

But wait, what about my high school dreams of becoming a famous designer with runway shows, celebrity clientele and adds in Vogue? Well, the thought is still there. So maybe I really don't know what route I want to take. I just want to be successful and for me success would equal having a clothing line to call my own.
