Anonymous asked: what do you think about majoring in graphic design?

I’m a communication design major which is basically graphic design and I love it. I think there’s plenty of opportunities for the major. But honestly you may not necessarily need that degree to pursue a career in it. Unless you’re gonna be a doctor, nurse, or lawyer, a degree is just like a high school diploma.

It’s a much-needed slow Monday at the office after being busy beyond belief (like that alliteration?) these past two weeks. If you guys don’t know yet, I started my internship with Guest of a Guest about two weeks ago, and it’s opened MANY new doors for me, which I never imagined for myself at this time. I cannot be lucky and grateful enough for this opportunity. Prior to this, I’ve been following them for a while because they seemed so fuckin’ cool covering events all over NYC, and then I saw a listing on their website and as always, my spontaneous self shot them my resume via email. Two hours later, I landed an interview. With that said, here’s a couple photos I’ve taken on their behalf.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like a young child, so fascinated being exposed to all the things I only saw on the internet or on TV. I’ve learned so much, and have an eternity of knowledge I’ve yet to learn. It’s definitely taken a toll on my sleep, increased my coffee in-take, and minimized my social life, but it’s perfectly okay. This is my life now, and I cannot express how blessed I am to wake up and do what I do.

To make up for the lack of personal photos: follow me on instagram - Marielephant.
