As this first semester comes to a close and a six week gap in seeing all my new family creeps nearer, I just want to take a minute and thank everyone I have met at Columbia for becoming a part of what I consider to be our big, dysfunctional family. This experience would mean nothing without the beautiful people I have met. Columbia is an absolutely amazing college, but it is built on relationships and the connections you make.
I haven't met a single person who is not completely passionate about what they do, and I'm amazed every day by the willingness of everyone to help others out with their projects, both for school and pleasure. There is never a time when I bring up a photo shoot that at least four people aren't willing to help me out--many times getting even more participants. I have been so inspired--musically, fashion-wise, in photography, just in every creative way possible.
The people I am surrounded by inspire me to pursue my passions just like them, and their talents push me to become better in not just the things I do, but who I am as a person.
This family I've found truly is a piece of my heart, and though we will see each other in six weeks, I am already missing them.
