10 Signs You're an Art Major

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
