College degree

I have now spent 2,5 years at Mercer County Community College. Seven full time semesters and today i crossed that finish line. I finally have a C.o.l.l.e.g.e D.e.g.r.e.e!!! Wooot woot! Its feels soooooo soooo good. I double majored and now obtain two A.A.S degrees ( associates ) one in graphic/advertising design and one in illustration. Going back to college was at first a somewhat indecisive decision, i wasn't quite sure if sitting behind the school bench was my thing. But even though my ego and my mind wasn't so sure, my intuition kept pushing me further on in that direction. Even though I still was very reluctant during the first semester and would ask myself " what am i doing here? " "why am i studying this" i kept on keeping on.Hehe. I was on top of my studies with my head in the books. A couple of semesters passed and i started to get the hang of it. This last semester, was the best one. I won two poster contests, and a real world client ad campaign. I was the team leader and creative director in the ad campaign and my team got the honor to win. The judges was so pleased with our hard work, and it was a great opportunity to bridge the school world with the real work world. Work and network! Work and network! But most importantly this last semester I learned how to trust in my abilities as a designer, and the more i know the more i want to learn. Here is some images from the last day of advertising III course. Me and my team-the winners, together with the client and the judges in the background. The ad campaign is for "Furry Feet Fete", a fundraising event for the Trenton Animal Shelter and the Homeless Pets of The Shelter Project. I really care for this project. I respect the time and energy these people put into helping innocent beings in need. Really beautiful! And i am glad to be a part of it. The event is going to be held in November, the dog whisperer Cesar Milan will come guest speak as well as Rescue Ink, the "biker" boys that takes justice into their own hands regarding animal abusers and abuse the abusers right back (!) It will be an interesting event. If you are interested in buying a pet, please concider adopting one. When the animals reach the shelter they have 30 days to get adopted. If they dont they are put to sleep for good :( It is like the green mile. Not a good situation for these animals. I would adopt but my lifetsyle is not fit for it right now. Thank you for stopping by my blog. Have a good day! Peace, love and light!
