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.
Recommended for you
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.
