Graphic design is one of those things that everybody sees, yet many don’t notice. But as a graphic design student, you can look at a simple poster, sign or label and can only imagine how many hours of manpower rest between images. Here are 24 things all graphic design majors can agree with—ESPECIALLY our hate of Comic Sans:

1. You’re number one fear is your computer crashing and losing everything.


2. And you cringe when you see people not saving their projects on an external hard drive.

3. You have a teacher that has taught you more than all of your other professors combined.

4. And you would kiss the ground they walk on if it were socially acceptable.

5. You will low key fight someone who thinks Apple is better than PC.

6. You have spent many a night in your campus’s computer lab.

7. And have done some crazy/questionable things after hours.

8. You have a student squad that are your supporters, confidants and critics.

9. And the majority of messages you send are about what to do when you've hit a wall.

10. Once learned about the glory of Helvetica, you saw it everywhere.

11. You sometimes just download fonts for fun.

12. And you also agree that finding the font that finally brings a project together is nearly orgasmic.

13. The overuse of Comics Sans puts you on your deathbed.

14. And the price of purchasing the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite nearly put you in an early grave.

15. Your appreciation for good packaging has increased hundredfold.

16. And GREAT packaging will stop you dead in your tracks.

17. You mostly buy magazines for their layout and design inspiration.


18. And you kinda feel like an annoying hipster when your art and design tastes are a tad more “advanced” than the average Joe.

19. But sometimes you just have to speak up when someone uses Papyrus or Brush Script.

20. You most likely have a high affinity for stationary.

21. And have a few brands that you would travel to the ends of the earth for.

22. You follow graphic designers on social media the way others follow the Kardashian clan.


23. You revel in how big and badass your portfolio has gotten since your Freshman year.

24. And you have found that your work gets better as the night gets older.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
