I hated college.
A lot.
In all honesty, those four years of my life would have been better spent waitressing or bar tending , save for the whole diploma thing and all.
My OCD and recluse of a self spent hours upon hours holed up in my ivory tower of an apartment, unwilling to interact with the thousands of people with whom I immediately assumed I'd have nothing in common.
Instead, I spent those same hours upon hours reading unnecessary texts, flipping through superfluous flash cards and really just being an overall snob.
I was pretty obnoxious, if I do say so myself.
Especially since, had I stopped pouting about my poor, poor life for half a millisecond,
I could have made the most of my time, rather than wasted it.
This all hit me incredibly hard as I sat and watched Friday night's fashion show, put on by Moda Madison, the online and now print magazine created by Mia and Jeff for the University of Wisconsin-Madison.


They took Wisconsin's loss, and turned it into their gain.
I turned it into self-pity.
heyo.
Anyhow - they were nice enough to let me stop by and take a few photos of the whole shindig. Incredible stuff, really. Those youngsters really have their act together these days.
these photos are stunning! lusting over the lobster dress

this is like that time after i started college that i realized that people actually do go to school for fashion and cursed my all girls catholic high school for never informing me. i think there's an awesome lesson in making great things happen wherever you are right now instead of waiting to start when you get to where you want to be. i mean how else are you gonna get there right? amazing photos, love the black and white ones with the pop of color!

Man. I LOVED college. However, I tended bar the whole way through it, so that made it much more fun. I lived at home during those four years, so commuting to school and having a whole day to myself to study and write and wander around campus and sit in coffee shops reading fat english literature text books was a dream. It makes me want to go back and get a master's, actually.
ReplyDeleteANYHOO!
I do however wish I knew my passion would be photography so I could have majored in that instead of english. Really putting that degree to use! (No I'm not).
Lovely photos, lovely writing. You're too cute. Come to LA, let's hang.
