11 Things All Art Majors Experience
Kansas State University

Every college major has it's pros and cons. Whether it be constantly getting asked "Why?" or "How?" certain majors have to face certain things. Art majors, however, experience things that are unique to the rest of campus. We deal with everything from having paint permanently stuck under our fingernails to having insanely strong shoulders from carrying our body weight in supplies. Here are just a few things that many, if not all, art majors constantly encounter.

1. Realizing that you'll need to sell your soul to afford art supplies.

I can barely afford food right now, so art supplies shopping is not an option.

2. Telling people you're an art major and getting hardcore judged for it.

"Wow, that's so interesting!"

3. "Wow! Your classes must be so easy!"

You try sitting in the same spot for three hours drawing spheres and not going insane.

4. Finishing a piece and realizing it actually looks good.


There is nothing more satisfying than getting the proportions just right.

5. "You draw?! Can you draw me!?"

I probably could, but I definitely don't want to.

6. Constantly being asked what you're going to do with your art degree.

Make money, hopefully.

7. Accepting the fact that your work area will never be perfectly clean again.

There's no use cleaning something that's not meant to be clean.

8. When the professor uses your work as an example of how to draw.

Can I have my A now?

9. "I suck at art. I wish I was good at it."

Seriously, what am I supposed to say?

10. Appreciating organization more than anything in the whole world.

It's the one of the most beautiful things ever.

11. Feeling like this when you're with your art friends:

Nobody understands you like they do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
