Art Is The Way Of Life

Let me tell you a little something about art and my goal.

I have always been interested in things that people have created. That could be anything that is considered art, like a painting, sculpture, or some unique design in clothing or sneakers. But one thing has always capture my eye with the quickness of lightning. That thing that I am talking about is paintings.

At the age I started to recognize things, whenever I would walk by a painting while holding my moms hand, I would bump into it because I would not stare at what was in front of me. I would just stare at the painting and ask myself a billion of questions like how long did it take to make that painting? How did the person come up with such a cool idea? How did he or she get those colors in that art piece? Even though I was young, I asked myself all these questions.

I would always look at all kinds of different art and try to figure out what the artist was trying to say to the audience. I would later realize that sometimes friends or family would have their own different interpretation about a piece. I would find that so profound because sometimes when they would explain to me what they see, I would see what they saw. There were times that they would point at something and it would make the piece much more understanding.

Today, as a grown man, I see everything as art. If it was not for me noticing my surroundings I would not be able to understand many things off of life.

All of this has pushed me to want to expand my very own skills onto newer heights. I want to try out the art scene. Painting wise. I believe that I can bring something different into the art world.

Everyday I have many ideas that go through my head that I start to want to put on a blank canvas. I believe that I can be successful at this. I believe everyone who would look at my work would feel something touching his or her souls.

I believe with the right elements I can be the one of the greatest. I would make sure to put my painting into many exhibits that exist across this state. I would get my name out there. Show people by my artwork how I am and what I am about.

I do not want to be the next Picasso or Van Gogh. I want my own lane, a lane that would be a fast and scary one that would have others afraid.

My mind is a vault that has many valuables things. Putting them onto a canvas would be such a wonderful thing for the world to see. Even though, I do not know where I want to go in life, I believe me becoming a painter would a nice step into the right direction.

I can promise all of you reading this; my painting will make you all think. I want you to feel every emotion possible, even if it is offensive.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
