The College Catwalk: Happy 2nd Blog Birthday!

Happy 2nd Birthday to The College Catwalk!

Wow! Has it already been 2 years?!

My love for The College Catwalk has grown incredibly and to be sitting here on its second birthday is honestly unimaginable. I have so many things I want to write and a trillion of moments I want to reflect on, but first and foremost, I would like to thank you. Thank you for reading this crazy spontaneous creation of mine. Thank you for encouraging me to keep posting and expressing myself these past two years. And thank you, for providing an opportunity for me to build on something that I will forever cherish!

Two years ago, I feel like I was on a whole other planet. I was in undergrad, having just received my acceptance into graduate school. My love for fashion and beauty was just as intense back then as it is now. I followed all the fashion trends and wanted everything in Sephora, but I was still clueless on the concept of blogging. No one I knew at that time was a blogger, so I tackled the subject of blogging just as I would tackle an exam, by researching and studying--and boy am I glad I did!

The College Catwalk has given me confidence, new friends, awesome opportunities and of course, sanity away from the crazy school work! Looking back at this past year, this blog has done and been through so much! We learned to host a loop giveaway, reached our Instagram family to 5000, collaborated with many awesome brands such as BEARPAW, Rocksbox, Triple Thread, and UniversiTee, but most importantly I have been able to interact with all of you!

This past year there were times when I felt overwhelmed with commitments, times when I lost followers, and times when I simply could not find inspiration to post---but one thing that those moments taught me was to never give up because it is all part of one happy ride.

Believe in yourself, always. If someone can do it, so can you. March 22nd is a good day for sure! It will show me every year that the hard-work, effort, and sacrifices I make are completely worth it and plus I always wanted a spring birthday so I could dress like a big ole flower...like today! :)
