It’s nothing terrible or bad it’s actually wonderful why I haven’t been able to cosplay or post so much on YouTube or this Tumblr. I’ve started to go to school for what I finally want to do and that is acting! I love cosplaying it is a huge part of my life, but I’ve always wanted to perform professionally and I finally took that step this past year. Here I’ll give you a play by play.

Last year I graduated from my local community college with an associates in arts.

Last July I was accepted into Wayne State University and their theater department.

Last December I was accepted into their selected BFA program for performance.

Now what does this all mean? I am so so so busy during the school year. When I was going to community I was enrolled part time, only had to go to school two days a week and worked five days. So that left a lot of time (and money) to cosplay. Now that I’m at Wayne I have to be a full time student to graduate on time and maintain a 3.5 GPA to keep both my scholarship and my place in the program. Also I have rehearsal anywhere from 2 – 6 days a week AND a job. It’s a lot! I wish I had more time to do and make cosplay, but sometimes you have to cut back just so you can succeed in something else. (I am also the most unmotivated person ever but that’s a different story).

So with that all said I’m not going to make any promises about dishing out a lot of cosplays or being more active during the summer because hey life happens! I have no idea what can come up! But I will say after almost a year of partial retirement? I am going to attempt to make a new cosplay from scratch! I haven’t done a project like this since Pyrrha but, I think I have taken a long enough break that I am ready. Especially since I want to make Red from Transistor hopefully soon but, I think I need a nice buffer between her and not sewing for almost a year. So I’m gonna make a different cosplay first. I’m super excited about making this character, I’ve been wanting to cosplay them for a few years. One nice thing is that this is a cosplay just for me! I’m not a part of a group or have a partner it’s just me! I haven’t done that before either, I love cosplaying with my friends, it’s so much fun that is honestly one of my favorite things about cosplay. But I don’t like the expectations that I set for myself when I cosplay with other people .I have a lot of expectations on myself as it is but when cosplaying with other people I am terrified of not being at the same caliber as they are .I just don’t want to disappoint anyone with what I created. So at least this way I can do my best, and not have to worry about disappointing others. Which is something I struggle with.

I am HOPING (hahaha see what I did here) to get this costume done by glass city if not oh well no promises no stress. So who am I going to cosplay, that’s up to you to find out! I kinda want to keep it a secret, I don’t think even my close friends know! I hope this message cleared up any questions anyone had! Thanks for reading and thanks for sticking with me! Until next time!!!
