Some words of encouragement to all those who dare to defy.

To All The Artists Out There

In these times of uncertainty and worry, one thing that we can all benefit from is more art. More music, more artwork, and more books. And so I say to the creators, use this time we have in isolation and quarantine. Draw inspiration from all that is going on around us and the unity that is being formed through these dark times. Artists are those who see the world in a different way, in a more imaginative, creative way. A musician takes a boring note and turns it into a symphony. A painter takes a drop of paint and turns it into the "Mona Lisa". A writer takes some words that are scrambling around in their head and ends up writing "Don Quijote De La Mancha". Take the things in your house and draw inspiration from them.

Arguably, there's no time that we should be more connected and united than now. Even if we can't view each other in person, that doesn't stop ideas or beauty from being projected into the world. It doesn't stop us from putting out some of the greatest works of the year or century. We have all this time to our self, so let's take advantage of it and write, paint, and play our hearts away. As an artist myself, I can say that during this time I will put some overtime into the studio to put out songs for the word to hear. I am not afraid to give people a different view of the world and a different taste of the same sound. And if you are an aspiring artist, don't be afraid of the art. Dive into the possibilities of your talent and publish some of the greatest work you have ever written.

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.
