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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
