"Its all coming to a close"


Wednesday was the day for catching up. We had the whole day to work on our blogs, our reflections, and art vs. fashion assignments. I spent my morning at NABA catching up on my blogs and cleaning up all of my captions on my photo’s. This afternoon I worked on my reflection and then started the long awaited packing of my suitcase. But luckily it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be! I am almost all the way packed but the moment of truth will be weighing it Friday night with everything in it.
            Packing was a very surreal moment for me. I knew this month was going to do by fast but I didn’t know it would be this fast! It has been an amazing experience and now that it is coming to an end it has given me a chance to reflect. Not only am I reflecting on my time in Milan but my three years at Johnson & Wales University. Friday marks the last day of my college experience ever! Or at least until I go to get my masters. I am very thankful for this experience because it has opened my eyes to a world of opportunities that I never considered.  Every company visit, cultural assignment, or personal experience has all combined to one huge learning experience. I can honestly say that I am taking more than industry knowledge away from this trip. I have learned a lot about myself as well and this experience was the perfect ending to my college experience.
            A special thank you to Maria Chiara Arona, Fulvio Aniello, Elise Lefort, Elenora Monti, Vladimiro Gioia, Simona Polli and Elena Todros from White Sposa, Melanie St Jean, and Rae Caloura, for all of your time, knowledge, and generosity. Everyone has contributed to make this experience unforgettable and one I hope to soon not forget!  I am so thankful for all the experiences and memories I have had during my time in Milan. I hope to return sooner rather than later!!
