Struggles of an art student

1. Late nights to finish art projects

Every project takes a long time and you always put it off till last minute. This means late nights because art takes time.

2. Three hour classes

You love that class is only one day a week until you’re in class and realize that there’s still two hours left.

3. Expensive art supplies

While your friends complain about $100 textbooks you’re spending the same amount on art supplies.

4. Carry around a heavy bag

Carrying around paint, pencils, and sketchpads can get heavy. While people make fun of you for complaining, a big bulky bag is not fun to always have.

5. Carrying multiple canvases


Canvases are bulky and don’t always fit in your bag. Carrying around many of them gets annoying after awhile.

5. Charcoal everywhere

You work with charcoal once and suddenly your hand is completely grey. Also, how it got on your nose you’ll never know.


7. Paint everywhere


Every article of clothing you own has paint on it. You don’t know how it got on the jeans you just bought, but it’s just there.

8. Mixing up paint water and regular water

There’s a reason why those mugs are labeled, you know why.

9.What is that?

You just started your project, there is one line on the paper and people are already looking over your shoulder questioning you.

10. Art is easy

You hear this all the time and you just want to stick a paintbrush or pencil in their hand and say have fun. They will never understand the work that goes into each piece.

11.All the struggles are worth it in the end, cause art

You love making art and no matter what struggles you face nothing will ever stop you. So go have fun and make art.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
