Grace is a student, aspiring cosmetic scientist and #AerieREAL<\/a>! She’s heading back to school at Pace University in NYC after a summer of sharing the #AerieREAL love at our bra photoshoot. Read on to see her tips for shining at school and what #AerieREAL<\/a> means to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What made you want to join this #AerieREAL<\/a> bra photoshoot?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Real<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aerie is at the forefront of a great wave of change. This campaign is about being your genuine self and loving every piece of who you are. This campaign is for anyone who ever thought their insecurities made them any less worthy of self love. Aerie is representing every girl and giving them role models that actually look like them. They show case beauty at every angle and every size. I wanted to be a part of this campaign because Aerie actually cares about spreading a positive image that represents everyone. Aerie is genuine and really REAL about portraying people as they are! I feel so honored to be one of these faces and be a part something so inspirational and empowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What tips do you have for your other students heading back to school this week?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My advice would be to get out of your comfort zone and experience new things. College is your time to be your most authentic self and explore areas of your own personality independently. Take time to focus on your own mental and physical health and realign yourself to manage stress. Getting through school is all about balance. Balancing responsibilities, work, friends, and family can be a lot to take on. Try to find your own balance and see what works for you. Also, never pay full price for text books! Trust. With enough dedication, you can find a free pdf, a used copy, or a rental for way less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your dream job after graduation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dream job is to be an entrepreneur and market my own cosmetic line. I am working on a Chemistry degree and after I graduate I am want to be a cosmetic scientist. Once I kickstart my brand, I will be able to develop unique and fun makeup and skincare. My creative mind, love of science, and passion for discovery will fuel my dream and make it a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Real<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What makes you #AerieREAL<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being real with myself is what makes me #AerieREAL. Taking a step back and realizing that my reflection has been warped by someone else\u2019s ideas and constructs about beauty. Seeing my feelings and emotions not as weakness, but as the strongest part of who I am. Forming my own definitions and erasing every negative perception I have about myself. Allowing my inner beauty to shine through and sharing that light with everyone. A candle doesn\u2019t lose anything by lighting another candle, it just spreads more light. That\u2019s real, that\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
