It’s Tuesday (and my third day at UNI!!!) and this is a fresh start, my first week as a university student in 2016. With class starting at ten, I got up early and felt the wind blowing through the open window. I put on my boots, wrapped a scarf around my neck and suddenly I noticed the smell of rain. I was filled with joy because I love rain so freaking much! I left early and walked towards the university. I put my beautiful pink headphones on and listened to music. Feeling calm and happy, I stopped at a cafe and bought myself a big, hot Americano, and for me it was a magical moment. The first lesson was “History of Design and Garment” in which we went through an initial overview of the history of the garment and what we will be learning in the upcoming semester. I remember listening in class, feeling fascinated, and all I could think was “it doesn’t get any better then this”!
This is a beautiful, special and complex subject, and the lecturer was incredible. When I got home that day something about the spark of a fresh start… the smell of coffee, the first rain of the year… it all felt so poetic and magical. I knew it was a day I would never forget.
