12 Things All Graphic Designers Know To Be True

Megan Ann Graphic Design

If you are a graphic designer or a graphic design student you will totally understand this infographic!

1. You hate Comic Sans the same way you love Helvetica.

If you use Comic Sans I CAN NOT be friends with you. And when in doubt use Helvectica!

2. You have a passion for communicating with others through powerful images.

This is one of the greatest things about being a artist in general. You get to make art that people could look at to get inspired or become emotional. Art is such a powerful thing, as well as design.

3. You hate excel but love illustrator.

I do not think I could explain my HATRED towards excel. It is so difficult to use and do things! There is too many numbers just give me Illustrator and I will make some graphs. Thank you very much!

4. You can’t go into a restaurant without judging the menu design.

I can not go in to a restaurant without judging the whole restaurant. From logo design, menu design to even the decor. When a restaurant has a nice design sense I feel better about eating there!

5. You spend all day brain storming.

I have spent many days brain storming and sketching for a big project. Sometimes I won't even use any of my ideas because by the next day I hate it already!

6. You dream of the day no one will make changes to your design.

This will never happen! From teachers, to art directors, to your clients everyone will change SOMETHING about your design.

7. You see CMYK and RGB like neo sees the matrix.

No explanation for this.

8. Your beer and wine choices are based on label design.

If I want to try something new I always get really cool beer labeled bottles so I can put them in my collection!

9. You own nothing but Apple products.

I HATE ANDROID SO MUCH!

10. You drink too much caffeine.

There is no such things as too much caffeine. I love my coffee and redbull.

11. Your table is messed up from cutting on them all the time.

My desk has little scratches all over it and at school there are so many scratches on some tables. Especially in the graphic design room.

12. You are always sleepy because you work 24/7.

This is the one I can relate to the most. I could get so much sleep but still feel so tired all day everyday.

If any graphic designers understand let me know! I am always wanting to know who feels the same way as me. Check out my behance at https://www.behance.net/mdusenberry!

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

tv.com

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Denison University

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

8 Things That Make You Feel Like You Have Your Life Together

because none of us actually do have it all together

University of Vermont

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
