I am very eager to pursued my majors of fashion design and psychology at Drexel University's Westphal College because I want to give myself the best boost to pursue my career goals.

When I first started looking for potential schools in which felt right for me I didn't exactly know where to start. The many other colleges that I researched didn't have a fashion program and if they did, it strictly was an art school in which i wasn't necessarily comfortable with. My idea for a dream college was a large campus that had enough programs for one to be flexible with and not have to worry if an original major choice didn't end up working out. However I came across some college information that stated that Drexel University has one of the best rankings for their design programs …show more content…

Though I self taught myself to illustrate and sew my designs, I have taken sewing and arts classes to aid my portfolio ideas. I have challenged myself to do sewing design projects by setting a designated due date wear or display my work. For instance I had challenged myself to illustrate and design my junior prom dress in less than month. The same thing can go for my DIY track pants, dresses and costumes in which i had given myself a good week to organize, prepare, and present the clothing in which I am proud of. To prepare myself for the retail aspect of fashion design I started working partime at the Hollisters, Menlo Park, NJ; over there I am able to learn and actually see behind the scenes of how retail I set up. In addition, I get help costumers by talking to them and helping them find the clothing that right for

    I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams a reality. Regretfully, when I entered high school, I did not realize how hard I had to work to get what I wanted. I went to my classes, did my work, but never really pushed myself to my full potential. I thought that as long as I graduated with decent grades I would be able to get into college and really focus then. But as high school quickly came to an end, I realized that I was not as well prepared for college, as I would have liked.

    Lovecraftian stories are undoubtedly known for their willingness to traverse through territories often viewed as taboo by more traditional authors.

Herbert West – Reanimator, in itself, through its description of the ‘reanimated’, the mental and physical regression of both West and the narrator, and its questioning of the
