Drawing may be one of the most fun hobbies to have but it may also be a difficult one. Although starting out to draw may become hard for those who have never draw before, it becomes very easy once one has started. I have started off in this similar situation. Then, I find myself drawing a lot more after I give myself some helpful tips. Here are three helpful tips for those who are beginners at drawing:

1. Look at the art that influences you to draw

There has to be a reason that one has decided that they want to draw. In other words, the inspiration that makes one want to draw. For me, the things that inspire me to draw are Disney, Disney's Pixar, Studio Ghibli, fantasy and anime. Try looking at their works to get the inspiration of drawing or start thinking creatively on what to draw. This also gets one to become motivated to draw.

2. Let your creative mind be free

One of the most difficult parts when drawing is actually the process of drawing. Sometimes I let myself be limited to drawings that are shown in animated films or TV series and this makes it very hard to continue or finish a drawing. Let your creative mind be free. One should also draw in a place that you are most comfortable drawing out your imagination and creative mind on paper. Be very open-minded and one may also find out more things to inspire one to draw.

3. Embrace the hobby of drawing

The struggle that I have to go through is embracing and accepting my love for drawing. For me, I love drawing but there are times that I get discouraged by people who keep telling me to do something other than drawing. The best advice is just to ignore them and express your love to draw by just drawing. Do not let others stop you from drawing. Drawing is an amazing and rare talent to have and not many can do this talent nor keep this talent or skill for a very long time. Work hard and show the others that drawing is one of the greatest talents and skills to have.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
