10 Signs You're an Art Major
FlockU

I'm an art major and I love it! Can I draw well? NO. But I'm still an art major. Keep that in mind the next time you ask an art major to draw you.

Here are 10 signs that show what art majors are and what we go through.

1. You're an art major, so can you draw me?

No I personally can't draw you and even if I could, I wouldn't.

2. So you don't have homework do you?

BIGGEST LIE EVER! OK, no I don't have normal homework full of English or math, but I do in fact, have homework. I have art projects, from photography to graphic design work, I have homework. However, we do still have to take regular classes and when we do, we have homework just like you. Either way, we HAVE homework!

3. Being asked "what are you going to do with your life?"

Well, let me tell you. I'm going to be a graphic designer and photographer. I'm going to get a job just like you and make money and have fun whilst doing it.

4. Being told "you aren't going to make money."

Last time I checked, I didn't ask your opinion. Also, I didn't choose my major to make money, I chose it because it's something I love.

5. You actually like going to your 3 hour studio classes?

3 hours?!?! What?!!? Yes, 3 hours, but it goes by fast when you're having fun!

6. "Cramming" for finals isn't studying, it's finishing a project that has taken you 20+ hours to do.

When you have an 8 am studio class and have at least a few more hours of work that could be done to your assignment and it is 2 am already.

7. All your money is spent on art supplies.

TRUE! Especially your first year. I don't have much to buy anymore, but honestly, just because I don't need it doesn't mean I won't buy it.

8. When one little thing gets messed up on your project, you redo the entire thing.

ME!

9. You hate it when people assume your life is easy.

Wrong again! So easy, we spend hours upon hours doing art and getting critiqued for it. But it's fun and we don't care what you say.

10. People assume you're going to be painting and drawing as your career.

No I am not doing traditional art, I'm a digital artist and dang proud!


Art is fun. Art can be hard. Art is relaxing and sometimes not. Art is amazing. Art is art.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
