Catching Up

Well well well.... where do I even start? A lot has happened since I last posted on here, more than should happen in a regular year. I had always been meaning to do more posts but every time I thought of something I felt that it wasn't interesting enough or I got distracted and forgot about it. Then I discovered that I forget about a lot of things like my ideas, dreams, significant moments or events that I have experienced, things I don't need to be forgetting. So I decided that I really don't care if it is "interesting" enough because, it's my memories and they matter to me enough to be recorded. With that said, to give you an idea of how long it has been my last post was about The Adventures of Tin Tin. That was long before the previews ever came out and now it is on DVD... yeah.


Since then I finished my first year of college. while in my second semester I decided that I wanted to give it all up and go to cosmetology school. Daring, I know, but that wasn't the last of my daring acts. Since starting my Cosmetology journey in July, I have attended three schools. A feat that no other student I know could have accomplished in less than a year. The first school I attended was the Georgia Career Institute (GCI). 3 months of my life, wasted, i'm exaggerating but it really was pretty ridiculous. I won't go into detail about how ridiculous, but lets just say the only thing I got out of that school was the friends that I made. From what I hear things have gotten worse since I left.

Very first client

 Little did I know that once I decided to withdraw from GCI, that I would be told that It would take a month before I could get my hours released, which meant a month before I could transfer to a new school, and a month of wasting my life away. Luckily I have an amazing Mother and she outsmarted them and I was able to start at a new school the week after I had withdrawn. What school was that do you ask?

PAUL MITCHELL!! Oh yes, after being at GCI I wanted to be on the opposite end of the spectrum and go to the best cosmetology school I had access too. I chose to go to Paul Mitchell in Nashville because I wanted to just get out of Murfreesboro, even if it was a 30 min drive. Starting out I had to relearn everything the Paul Mitchell way and I must say that I needed it. Everything was different than what I had learned and 10 times better too. The school was at least 3 times bigger and just all around a much better school.

So you're probably wondering, "if it was such a great school why did she transfer again?" If you are wanting to be a great hairstylist there is a little something you need called clientele. Being that I lived 30 min away I could not get anyone from Murfreesboro to come in to the salon. I mean, I did get quite a few walk-ins but they were all, how do you say...from the same demographic. I was at my 2nd school a total of 5 months before I finally decided that it was time to transfer again, just so I could get the most out of my education. The staff there were much more understanding than at GCI.

Of course the only other place I could ever transfer to was the Paul Mitchell in Murfreesboro. I have been there for almost a month now and I am still trying to get use to the change. I love that I am only 10 min away and there is much more variety in the clientele. overall I am pretty content.

For any of you out there thinking about going to Beauty school or are looking for a good school, go to Paul Mitchell. Anywhere. It is the best.

Oh yeah, and I graduate in June.
