Ahh. Okay, So I'm a sophomore in high school... Haha.
A little bit early to think about going to college? Not in my opinion.
Anywho. I want to be an interior designer.
My love is for the residential design, yet nowadays with the bad economy I'm leaning towards commercial design.
Only because it's more stable, and what not.
So, schools... Which is the best? In CA that is.
I would really like to stay in southern CA.
Not too far from the oc<3.
Funny thing is, I'm writing this with half myself in the door for interior design, and the other for some financial career.
Which I believe is urberly boring... who wants to sit in an office all day for 8 hours, doing math. No offense.
Well my dream is in interior design. I love the whole idea of making something of my imagination real life.
Also, the whole feeling when people enter the room, or place, or whatever and going "OMG! This is beautiful."
It's like
. You made my day. I know it's going to be stressing and more than just choosing colors and blah blah. There's a lot of business in this career.
And a whole lot of working your way up. So, I'm not going to make a lot money right off the bat like my brother, or whoever else my mom is trying to put me down with. So, I'll be making like 30-40,000 for the first year or two. UNLESS, I find a way to be an intern, yet with a part time job, and skip the 3 years of designers assistant to like secondary designer or so.
I'm so serious about this . More than anything. I swear. D:
I have it all planned out. I just need a school. A great school I can attend. That'll give me everything I need as a foundation.
Of course, I'm going to community college first for my GE. Haha. It's just cheaper that way. [Oh boy, Another two years of essays, and hard math problems.] Or maybe not. I'm still thinking about it.
I keep an average of a 3.8 GPA. I took photography for visual arts - to look outside of the box, when I look at something.
Sophomore year, no electives ): but french, ew. It's all algebra 2trig honors, English honors, world history (honors, maybe), chemistry, french 2, and then cheer practice o_o.. lol. Thought goes through my head, "Why did i join cheer again?" Haha.
Anywho. My jr year, is only going to be four required classes. And I'm taking about taking 0 period. Oh boy, Am I going to have trouble waking up. Not a morning person whatsoever. Hahaha.
So three free periods for electives, yayyyy. I was thinking of taking AP art, drawing and sketching (brush up on those drawing skills), and adv. photography, since my teacher was awesome and he gave me many lectures about life which I must admit others may have hated, but I truly enjoyed. Or maybe, ceramics + cooking . I need to learn to cook better. HAHA . xD
Ceramics because i learn to make things and view things in a 3D shape - which could be good for making my own furniture one day.
Then comes the great senior year, with only 3 required classes, and the endless possibilities. i'll take AP art and drawing and sketching 100% again fersure. And probably adv photo/ceramics+cooking if i didn't take it the following year haha.
Do you think I have it planned out correctly? Do I have what it takes?
For those who are interior designers/majoring/thinking about interior design, how is it?
Is it what you thought? Do you enjoy it? Obviously stressful, but was it worth it?
Give me some input. (:
