the life (really?) of a design student

MUST:

- come up with revolutionary 'will-transform-the-world-and-win-nobel-prize' designs at the drop of a hat
- dress creatively and imaginatively all the time as if going to accept oscar (even though have not slept in 2 years)...yet after all, image is everything..?
- promise not to slit our wrists when the assignment we have slaved over and not eaten food for three days for, is given as much respect as an article showcasing the mating habits of earthworms.
- sleep at 4 a.m.
- get up at 4:30 a.m
- ask God to increase the number of hours in a day from 24 to 240..
- remember to contact friends and relatives outside of college even though they have given us up for dead 6 months ago
- know how to interact and subsequently charm every single person in the fashion industry..right from the farmer who picks the cotton crop in the fields of ludhiana to the sales clerk who hangs the cotton shirt on a rack in the disply of a high-end store in mumbai.
- be able to stitch better than any tailor
- be able to think deeper than socrates
- be able to draw better than da vinci
- never take holidays or sundays or even sleep for that matter
- ignore the few stray greys in our 21 year old mane of hair
- remember that computer is NOT, i repeat NOT the 'person' we're supposed to spend our lives with
- remember photoshop is a software, not God
- remember we are humans..not androids despite whatever the faculty says
- remember sewing machine is machine..not boyfriend..thus must not spend whole day (and night?) with it
- look up the word 'boyfriend' in dictionary
- look up the meaning of the word 'life' in dictionary..i'm quite sure i've heard it somewhere
