When I say I major in fashion design, people often assume :

1. I have a LOT of free time

2. I'm always sewing

3. I'm an airhead.

And they often ask question

like: Do you have midterms? Have you designed something? Can you design something for me? 

Then when I tell them I also take Art History, French, Textile Technology, among others.. they are just shocked.

I have become used to it and I find it funny. They don't know that if I have a free day it is used to do projects, buy art supplies, study for tests, pattern making, etc etc etc.. so basically  that means I have no free time. For example, today I had to buy fabric swatches for some projects. I was there for almost two hours and I spent almost $100. Tomorrow is Sunday, and I still have to do things. I have to do some sketches for my design class, study for an oral test and paint a color chart. So, no free time either. 

But I LOVE what I do. Sometimes I even prefere to stay at home working rather than go out to a club or something.. workaholic, I know, but what can i do? When you love what you do it doesn't feel like work.
