What's Your Art?

Everyone has one, what's yours?

What's Your Art?
Google

Everyone has an art; a skill. Something that makes them unique and stand out in the world. Sometimes, that art is found early in life. It is easily discovered and evident to everyone.

However, for others, it may take years to unearth what it is they are good at. Great at. What it is that makes them who they are.

The art you possess may not be what you expect it to be, but sometimes that’s the most beautiful part; learning something about yourself that you never saw coming.

Finding your art and searching for your art are very different things. It’s like the saying goes, a watched pot never boils – time feels so much longer when searching for something to happen. When you find what you’re best at, it will happen when you least expect it.

There are so many things on the internet, and in society, that try to tell us what we should do, what we should be good at, and when we should find our niche. However, half the fun of finding what it is that makes you who you are is discovering it on your own.

Searching through social media outlets and across the web to validate something about who you are is only doing one thing; selling yourself short. Never settle for anything, especially when it comes to unveiling a part of who you are.

By just living every day with the mindset that you are here for a reason brings you one step closer to finding your art.

Our art should be something we are proud of; something that others know solely because we radiate it through our being every day.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
