Art students of the world unite.

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
