What’s my goal in the future? || Thoughts

It’s another How’s life? post but today, I’m writing this in my warm and cosy bed.

So I’ve been a bit busy lately because of my schoolwork that I have to get done before the 30th of January. And because I had a internship interview and work to do at my current internship.

So.. last year we had to decide on which way we want to go in our last year of graphic design. And at that time I still haven’t figured it out yet. I only knew that I wanted to do something with styling or visualizing? (is that what they call it in english?) Also at that time I also didn’t really know what I wanted to study at a academy.. The only things I knew were, I want to do something with art & design, fashion and study abroad. And it’s still a hard decision, whether study abroad or stay here, art & design or fashion?

But my future goal has always been: “I want to create things you can wear or use, that can be seen as art too. And I want to inspire younger people to do what they like to do and to courage them that you can make it, as long as you work for it.” Everything you do, is done in small steps. But if you don’t work for it, it won’t be easy to do it. And don’t lose you courage. Stay yourself, be who you are, show them what you got and most important. Believe in yourself.

I was inspired by many artists, bloggers and youtubers. And I was a very insecure girl, well I still am but I do notice that it has changed. And the time comes near to choose my way to my future. So what do I want to do in the future?

I realized that product design is the one that suits me quite well. But also because of my internship(s). I clearly asked school to do something in the fashion related industry for my second internship, but they put me to a company who makes souvenirs.. At first I wasn’t that excited about, until I was thinking and thinking about what will suit me more within my study. It is illustrating, I do love to illustrate. Even though I won’t be able to work something with fashion, I think this second internship will be something I can learn a lot about designing a product. At my current internship I haven’t learn a lot, to be honest. Me and my schoolmate, are the only “designers”. So there’s no one who can learn us new things. But at my second, there will be a designer who’ll guide me through the next 5 months. So I won’t complain anymore, since it’s a pretty good opportunity for me.

And from now on I will work harder than ever on my portfolio. And that means not only school projects or projects from my internship, but my own stuffs. I know that to get into a academy can be hard, especially when it’s in london or at any Scandinavian city.

 

Well, I think it’s time to get back on my schoolwork..  Ohh and did I told you that I’ve got a new haircut! Really recommend Hype Kapper, when you’re in the Netherlands! 🙂 And I know that I have a LOOOOOT to edit.. I hope that I can finish everything for the blog in the next two weeks!?
