Long time ... Part Two.

This is so much writing, I really apologise, but I feel like I need to get it all out. please stay with me!

So I went on to complete my third year at college undergoing a Art Foundation course in Art & Deign. I can honestly admit, that this year has been the best year I have had throughout my whole education! I was finally with people who were "Like me" in the sense that they liked and had the same passion I have. They were ambitious and out there and I was really able to let myself go and act like myself and not feel like I was going to be judged or talked about if I spoke out, and I fell into a really strong friend group that I could be myself around!

Mid way through this course we had to specialise into the specific Art specialism we wanted to go into, and to cut a long story short again, I decided to go a head a peruse into Graphic Design. I felt that this gave me more promising job prospect than photography would and generally, it gave me a lot more freedom, creative wise to really experiment with Art and my own personal style.

So I would say I was doing really well, the Graphic Design Tutors embraced me and were really helpful and seemed to love and like what work I was producing. There was one Graphic Design tutor though, who was the same guy I had for my first interview for the Art Foundation course, so I assumed it was him that told them not to put me on it, hahah! ...So I just never spoke to him a lot.

Then the dreaded time came were we had to start applying for uni! and as you can see in my description side box thing on this blog, it says "One day I will live in London". So this may not come to a surprise but I applied to  Graphic Design in either London University's or around London areas.

My First choice was the University of Arts London, and my campus was the London College Of Communication. And to cut this story short, I got in! This girl who had been pushed and over-shadowed her whole life, with zero support from my tutors and even the graphic tutors said to me before the interview (Which I was a nervous wreck for!) that I need to be realistic and realise that not all of the people who had applied for this course in my college (3 other boys) were going to get in. Of course I thought it would be me. Like I said, pretty much all of my past tutors had always had so little belief in me and considering I have gotten into the best University for Art & Design in Europe, I do not think I have done that bad!

So yeah, to conclude... I am going to live in London in September, it is a real achievement and something that I am so, so, so, proud of myself for. It is going to be really life-changing, and so, I will continue to blog through this summer, and the big moving day! and my university life and really just my life in general, I think it will be quite a ride! I would be honoured if you could share this journey with me! xxx
