For my final blog this semester, I have to write about how I make decisions. I decided to have fun with this post, since it might be my last one for a while.
At the beginning of this semester, I shared with my peers in
class that I shop when I am happy or need some cheering up. I guess shopping is
an “elixir” to me as Robitussin was to people in the past.
Ha!
But I digress. Unable to find a job with a master’s degree
in Biology, my elder sister went back to school a couple of years ago to obtain
a nursing degree. It’s been a tough journey and I even moved in with her so I
could help babysit her son. Well, she will be graduating in two weeks and I am
ecstatic! That calls for shopping!
My sister calls me her personal stylist because she does go
out shopping often. She therefore put me in charge of buying her graduation
outfit. What a huge decision! J Here are the things I have to consider when picking
out the items:
Dress: I love colors, but on a serious occasion like a
graduation ceremony, I prefer dresses in less flashy and more conservative
colors. I think UT Arlington actually mentions that point somewhere on the
dress code, but I’m actually picking out what I like.
Shoes: My favorite things to buy. This is where color comes
in. Every outfit needs some color and where is a better place to call attention
to yourself than your feet!
Jewelry and accessories: They definitely will be the same
color as the shoes I ordered. The size will be definitely a struggle between my
sister and me, but I will win. I enjoy bigger jewelry pieces.
Above all, whatever I pick has to make her happy. As much as
deciding what style or color of dress my sister should wear makes me happy, my
aim is to put a smile on her face. That is the biggest and most important factor that drives my
decision-making.
