Have you guys missed me? Don’t answer that. Time has LITERALLY been flying. When I think back to 8 weeks ago when I was a scared little newbie, it’s hard to believe I’d be where I am now. Which is why I want all of you that are about to do Freshman Testing, to think PAST the next 5 days. You guys are going to want to curl up in a little ball on the floor at 5pm every day this week. I’m not gonna lie, this week will be one of the worst. But if you think about it- the worst POSSIBLE thing that could happen? You redo freshman class. Everything that is happening right now is going to shape you into the cosmetologist you’ll become so take it all in stride. Do your best and seriously; don’t second guess yourself. You’ve only been doing this for 8 weeks, but you’ve been doing it for 8 weeks longer than the next group of freshman! You know who you are and how you work so just do it! Don’t look around the room when you’re finished and size up everyone else’s manikins. Don’t talk about your classmates on your breaks. This is a big incredibly stressful week for everyone in the class- not JUST you. Keep being considerate and remember- you’re 7/8ths done. You’re really gonna let 1/8th of your freshman experience stress you out?
Happy Testing!
