Well everyone, the semester has unfortunately come to a close. This means that despite all of the fun I’ve had making this blog and sharing it with everyone, I have to make a decision of whether to continue this blog or not. However, before I reveal my decision, allow me to explain my reasoning behind it.
Before the semester started, I had yet to have involvement in the field of fashion/vintage wear in terms of journalism. I had never written, organized, or been responsible for the creation of anything fashion related. So although I intended on pursuing this career path, I was unsure whether it was something that I was genuinely interested in or not. Yet, looking back on each assignment, the lessons that each post taught me, and the community that I managed to foster in such a short amount of time, I now know that this career path of fashion journalism is certainly one that I am forever attached to and will not veer away from.
That being said, this semester itself, along with the task of maintaining the journalistic integrity of this blog, certainly presented an immense challenge. Giving my all to both of these endeavors was not an easy accomplishment. Ultimately though, the ends justified the means and my persistence was rewarded with a community of people who care about my thoughts and opinions. So thank you for joining me this semester for this blog.
Yes, my is to definitely continue this blog under my own supervision, but not immediately. I will post soon though, so turn on those email notifications and continue to stay up to date with what we think here at the Throne of Thrift!
