I had my first university interview the other day at the University of Creative Arts. I think it is now safe to say that i am entering a new chapter in my life and the next three years could determine how I spend the rest of it. It all sounds quite scary but I'm optimistic. After an hour drive and a quick look around what Epsom had to offer, it was time for me to go in. It’s funny because usually I'm a nervous wreck at interviews but i had a calm vibe about me. They took us on a tour of the campus giving us a bit more of an insight into the Uni. You definitely know you're studying a fashion course if everyone around you looks like they've stepped out of their own era but it is much to be appreciated. After all that we were taken to our interview and yes i say 'we' because it was a group interview. There were about 10 girls in my group anxiously waiting for what was in store. However, rather than making it sound like a daunting experience, it was actual the most fun i have had at an interview ever before. We were all asked the same questions such as "What is your favourite magazine?" and "Who is your favourite designer?" There were also a couple of general discussion like student protests and high street/ designer collaborations. As well as that, we had to talk about our favourite pieces from our portfolio which was great since it was a chance to really share something that meant a lot to us. The interviewer was a lovely woman and the girls in my group were so warm and lovely. I guess that's what you need in a potentially horrific environment, people that can keep you calm and make you feel welcome and at ease. Now it's time to play the waiting game and there's no doubt that the heavens will be receiving multiple prayers from me. Wish me luck guys and dolls xx
