    "Hi! I am a current college sophomore. I've been a huge fan of your Instagram and blog since high school, and have always looked towards your content in dull moments of my life for inspiration and spark! Presently, I am facing a bit of a life dilemma. I'm not sure about what I want to do with my rest of my time in college, and especially after that. I was wondering how you got started in the industry, and if you have any advice for a confused girl, who seems to be able to see a future in almost anything--STEM, the arts, social media, etc!" -Ariana

    Hi Ariana!  Thank you so much for your support and kind words!  It is totally normal not to know what you want to do while you’re in college so don’t worry!  College is all about finding yourself and trying lots of new classes and activities to see what you like or don’t like.  I realized after college, I didn’t want to pursue Interior Design which I had majored in.  In order to be productive and have a creative outlet, I started my blog and that led me to where I am today.  I think it’s so smart to either hold several internships in different fields, meet with various individuals who intrigue you/hold a career you’re interested in, and perhaps even start a website/blog to jot down your thoughts, musings and ideas!  You can read my Career Advice post here and any of my Advice posts to get a sense of how I got started in the industry and what tools have helped me along the way!
