College is very similar to Project Runway. Both are filled with stress, deadlines, late nights, and not enough hours in the day. Emotions run high as we try to out-perform our competition in a sleep deprived state. There’s drama and friendships, compliments and slap-you-in-the-face critiques. It’s a place to build your resume and try new things, but also a place where you and your work can get torn down. College, like Project Runway, is a tough yet unforgettable experience.
