10 Signs You Might be an Art & Design Student

1. You Find Yourself Explaining to People that Your Major is Actually Pretty Hard

It's not just Arts and Crafts, I promise.

2. Five Hours of Sleep is Considered a Good Night's Sleep

With a major as time-consuming as this one, it is not unexpected to stay up all hours of the night working on one thing.

3. You Find Yourself Eating in the "In-Between" Hours

You eat when you can. Which means you either forget to eat or end up eating at random hours of the day.

4. You Spend More Time in the Classroom than You Do Outdoors

Wait... When did it become winter?

5.  Non-Major Courses are Pretty Far Down the List

In the end, no one looks to see if you got an A in your core classes, they only care about the effort and work you put into your career.

6. One Hour Can Turn into Five Hours Real Quick

Art Coma - /ärt ˈkōmə/ - noun - The state in which the mind goes into while working without awareness of time. Often results in the confusion of time of day.

Ex: "Dude, I went into another art coma today. Next thing you know it's dark outside. Like, when did that happen?"

7. A Social Life Barely Exists in Your Schedule

Either you have good grades and no social life, or you have a social life and terrible grades. Sadly, there's no in-between.

8. You Possess the Ability to Sleep Anywhere

And I mean anywhere. Seriously, when you are so low on sleep, you can curl up in a closet and squeeze in a quick nap...

9. Your Classmates Aren't Just Your Friends, They're Family

Spending so much time in the classroom you seen your classmates at best and they're worst. While its overwhelming at times, you know that no matter what, they'll be there at the drop of a hat to help you through it.

10. You Can't See Yourself Doing Anything Else

At the end of the day, the struggle of grades, sleepless nights, and the mental breakdowns mean almost nothing compared to the satisfaction of finishing a creatation solely from your mind and your mind alone.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
