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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
