Orientation Day
Nervous, scared, anxious,
Was the complete emotional turmoil of what was expected
New faces, environment, and scenery
A journey that I didn't know what to expect from.
First Day
New seats, new person, new small projects
New words, new assignments, creative professors
Welcome hi's, thrilling hello's, and never-ending getting to know you stories
The testing of comfortability with each other, and getting a sense of the people in our concentrations.
First Week
Acronyms, adjusting, accommodation
Pacing colors of creativity, thinking out loud, and figuring out your crowd
Fish, Deck, Laughs, and more relation-ships to shore
The first time in which I didn't feel like the crazy one but on the same page of being normal with everyone.
Last Week
Ideas from in to out, executions, briefs
领英推荐
Sickness, recovery, and a comeback in progress
Final, final, final, finals - to which crazy was described more as insanity during that period
The days of building the starcraft with timelines that made creativity jump high out of space and wrapping up storylines that would make audiences feel grounded for human-to-human connectivity.
Last Day
Shocked, amazed, potential is a funny thing if confidence doesn't play its part correctly
Ready, Steady, Go - the celebration of business and creativity at its pinnacle
Understanding the lessons of what Brandcenter was trying to teach it's 1st years
Many more months filled with plenty more areas to fail than succeed, learning from your community of peers - because they are not looking for the best, but the brightest risk takers that want it all and are looking to create themselves an experience in which they don't expect a result but just quality work.
After the completion of one semester at Brandcenter,
You get the feeling of free-ness, in which you start to see a recovering you
That you probably wouldn't have seen before
While it's healthy, it's the most fulfilling thing to see
Because it becomes hard to take off the smile of someone who's experiencing change in a way that has never been explored for them.
Beautiful accidents - the way that my journey has been crafted since day 1 of birth in 2000.
I can't wait to see what next semester has to offer everyone.
