UNI - My first few days...

Hey everyone,

So as you can tell I've slacked the last few weeks when it comes to uploading a new post, but I promise there's a reason; and that reason is University. 2 weeks ago I packed up my stuff and headed off to my new adventure in Nottingham. Now that I've finally settled in and survived Fresher’s week (yes fresher’s flu is a real thing!) I realised it was time to get back into doing what I love.

What's my degree?

I'm currently at Nottingham Trent University, studying Fashion Communication and Promotion, this course covers a broad range of topics within the industry, such as Marketing/PR, styling, journalism and many many more, and as I'm still not sure what I want to do later in my life this course seemed like the perfect option. It's cliché I know but when I first visited the Uni, I fell in love with it all; the city, the uni itself and most importantly the course, and for anyone interested in the visual side of fashion and not necessarily making clothes then I would definitely recommend checking this course out! 

What can you expect?

Since starting my course it has become apparent that finding a way to communicate my thoughts and ideas is essential to becoming a successful student, and for me to do this I have decided to combine my personal and professional life into one blog. However, despite being all in one place, each section will be put into different categories,

•    Life - This is where you will get to see my regular blog posts, surrounding OOTD's, reviews and recommendations.

•   Reflective Journal - Every week (hopefully) I will post about the past 7 days’ events; what I've gotten up to both inside and outside of University, as Nottingham is such a beautiful city and has many hidden gems that I cannot wait to share with you all.

•   Loves - Within this section, I will discuss everything surrounding what interests me within the industry, such as catwalk and advertising reviews, some of my favourite events and VM both good and not so good. 

I just want to remind you that this is only my opinion and as an FCP student we are encouraged to not only see the good, but also look deeper and see what could be improved and where in the industry is there gaps in the market.

What's next?

Over the next couple of months, my course will really get going, at the moment I'm still trying to find my feet (Honestly Uni is the most incredible experience and I don't think you can understand until you go yourself) We can expect live projects, exciting new briefs and also a trip to New York just after Christmas (biggest fan girl moment of my life so far!) It's going to be fun trying to juggle, Uni, social life and work but I cannot wait for it to all start, and also to take you along the journey with me. I'm hoping that in the next few days I can upload a post on each category but you never know with technology so stay tuned! 

Hope you enjoy

Abi
