From museums such as the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Mattress Factory and the Andy Warhol Museum to art-focused schools such as The Art Institute of Pittsburgh and CAPA, there is a variety of options for art makers and appreciators in the Pittsburgh area. In addition to these large-scale museums and schools, Pittsburgh is home to a countless number of cafés, which frequently host artwork and musicians.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
