Lately I've been really unhappy. I finished high school thinkin after a 1 year course @ TAFE doing clothing production I would have a profolio good enough to get in2 a design institute in 1 of the capital cities. But after that I took a year off to work and save money, but then I was kinda steered in2 goin to my local University to study business. Im about 2 go in2 examinations and so far im sitting on a credit, shouldn't I be happy? i dont even try and im doing better than a pass in something i have no real interest in. I'm still longing to further my designing skills and dress making. Im constantly lookin at other design universities thinking i could do it if i risked it. I'd have to leave home, leave the state, find a place on my own, study and work to survive while studying. But still fashion designing is what i love 2 do, so why can't i seem to decide whether to stop studying business and go to a design uni down south, when i think i have what it takes?

My passion has always been working in fashion and being my own boss. That is what I am doing now. I am happy. Just do what makes you happy and you will really succeed in it. It is pointless doing a degree in something that you don't care for just for the sake of having that piece of paper on the wall.
Happiness requires this: Living your life differently, your way. It's interesting that a children, we're frequently asked by parents and teachers (who want us to avoid following the crowd jut for the sake of fitting in): "If everybody jumped off the bridge, would you?"
But then, when you're an adult, being different is suddenly a crime. People seem to be saying, "Hey. Everyone else i jumping off the bridge. Why arn't you?"
Just because something doen't feel safe, doesn't mean it's not worth it.
