First Week Back At College

Well on Monday past (26th of Aug) I started back at college. Like I mentioned previously, that I go to Glasgow Clyde College at the Cardonald Campus (previously called Cardonald College). I'm in my First year of my HND of Fashion Design and Manufacture.

Well Monday wasn't exactly easy, I was super nervous and hadn't slept a wink. But overall the day was a good day. I met some new people, and got straight back into life as a fashion student again. Was crazy, they really don't waste any time when it comes to HND. Was a bit taken back, but I thought well this is what I want to do and there's no other way of getting through fashion if i don't do this course.

So tomorrow is my half day, which is a Thursday and i get a longish weekend, pretty good time table this year, so I'm excited to do all the things that are needed to get where i need to be. passing assessments and sticking in is the way forward. Bring on HND1!!

My Best Friend- Fiona Greenshields

You know this dark haired girl?

She's the bestest friend anyone could ask for.

Miss Fiona Greenshields, what I can say about our friendship?

It's definitely been a crazy one, and quite distant recently, but that doesn't change the fact that she is my best friend, the girl that is there for me and has always been. We've had our moments don't get me wrong, but what kind of girls are we if we don't have a disagreement?

She is one of the most loving girls ever, and always has great advice, we both have our own things going on at the moment, but that's what happens when boyfriends, work and college comes into it.

 I have moments where i can just remember all the weird and hilarious times we've had- prom, 6th year, drunkeness on Halloween or valentines night, being boy stalkers at Lanark christmas market and in shopping centres. 

Gurl, you are going to have an amazing future and I'm looking forward to sharing so many more hilarious and weird moments with you.

Double F for life <3

About me..

Hi, My name is Fiona Cummings, i'm a nineteen year old Fashion Student. I study in Glasgow, but stay in the countryside with Family. I was never one for being a 'girly' girl, i played football and done athletics, i was quite active when it came to sports. But, around the same time I turned 16, I was more into clothes and make up. I spent a lot more time in my art classes and decided that I was wanting to study art in college. But at that age, it was very hard to decide there and then what I actually wanted to do with my life and in further education if that was ever an option for me.

  I changed my mind thousands of times, from photographer, to police woman, to working in mental health like my father. But I always kind of knew that clothes and fashion was for me. 

  So, I finished school with no highers. But Last year I got an unconditional at college to study fashion technology. Honestly, thinking back I really didn't know what the course actually entailed but I went for it anyway because it was a fashion course. I wouldn't recommend doing that if you're serious on what you are doing. But it worked out well for me, and by June 2013 I had my NC in Fashion technology. Through doing that course I was able to apply for my HND fashion design course at the same college, I got accepted and was so overjoyed. Knowing through doing the technology course, that I wanted to go down the design route was a real stepping stone for me. I now would life to finish my two years and then see about going into bridal and wedding wear. But for now we will just have to wait and see I suppose.

I just recommend everyone to follow your heart and not to just decide on the spot of what you want to do, because in school and even higher education you might still have no idea. But something will come up and you will end up doing something you love. Don't let anyone decide for you, this is your decision and your life. Live it, how you want it to be and not for anyone else.
