Peace out.

When I get done with college, I am leaving the US. I am moving the either Paris or London, and I am STAYING THERE.

So studying abroad is the perfect solution to sort of "practice" for being away. Obviously, I want to study in London and Paris, so that I can be in the fashion captals of the world. I'm planning on studying in Paris at the end of my senior year, and I want to spend a semester in London either my sophomore or junior year. If I'm able to, I want to spend a semester in Paris as well, just to get used to the area.

I only see a couple of barriers in terms of studying abroad. One, of course, is the money. It's going to take a lot of cash to get me over there. However, I've already started a fund for that, and there are grants and scholarships I can get. The other is choosing the right school. I don't want to end up at some BS design school. That would completely defeat the purpose of my being there, because it would help me exactly ZERO. I'm not worried about being away from home or what my family will think--I'm actually happiest when I'm somewhat out of my element, and my mother thinks studying abroad is an awesome idea.

So, in a few years (maybe even months!), I'll be peacing out of here.

Keep it classy and fabulous!
xoxo, Laura
