It is no secret that Harvard undergraduate admissions are difficult. Each year, the Harvard University admissions office declines to accept thousands of students with perfect academic records. You can have a 4.0 grade point average and an SAT score well above 1500. It doesn’t matter. Unless you’re a legacy student who has had family go to Harvard before, or can prove to the Harvard admission office that there is something special and uncommon about you, forget about it – you just aren’t getting it.

I know that it is important to keep your federal (or government given) personal data such as your social security number private. It has always bothered me that many student loan companies use your number as your account number. I always make sure I shred any paperwork with my number on it, but it would seem in some cases that this is out of my hands. My husband and I combined our loans, and we keep getting letters from companies offering us a superior deal on our interest rate. It bothers me that they have the ability to so easily get our student loan information, and that our social security numbers are appearing on what we consider to be junk mail.

When I first took up art, I never dreamed that I would one day get a fashion design degree. Fashion design colleges, you see, were not for me. I was into art for art’s sake. I didn’t want to get involved in fashion design and merchandising because I wasn’t interested in the commercial elements of it. I was vaguely aware that I would have to earn money with my degree somehow or another, but I always figured that I would be discovered and then be able to sell my art.


Going to fashion design college was furthest from my mind because it was so focused on applying your skills to make money. Fashion isn’t really very expressive. People try to express themselves through their clothes, but I did not think much of it at the time. Then I took a few fashion design courses and it changed the way I felt about it. It is not that my perspective is much different, but I realized how much I enjoyed designing clothing. I found out that I could go to a fashion design college, spend my life doing what I loved, and make a killing at the same time. Fashion design colleges just makes sense after that.
