9 Things Art Students Have In Common

In most aspects art students are just like any other students, but there are a few things that we all have in common that other students don't. Here are 9 things all art students know:

1. You own a clunky tool box full of art supplies.

People often confuse it as a tackle box or stare at you strangely. Also it's super annoying to carry, but impossible to go without.

2. You walk around all day with paint on your hands.

You don't even bother to try to scrub it all off anymore. It'll just be back tomorrow. Besides, it makes you look all artsy and stuff.

3. You can't just keep things "simple."

You may start out with a simple idea for a project, but all of a sudden there is a 3D dragon that also looks like a person's face if you turn the paper a certain way, and if you blink three times fast it changes colors. Seriously, it happens every time.

4. You find random art supplies everywhere.

Whether it be a drawing pencil, a stick of charcoal or a paint brush, they seem to turn up everywhere; in your coat pocket, in your couch cushion or under your pillow. Seriously you can't escape them.

5. You spend more time in the art building than you do at home.

You know what the inside of the building looks like at all hours of the day because you've probably woken up early and stayed up late trying to get your project done just right. Strangely you're actually kind of okay with it though.

6. You're never satisfied.

Nothing ever seems good enough. There is always something to improve on, and if people compliment your work, you'll probably respond with everything you don't like about it. We're all our own worst critics, right?

7. You collect random items in case you an use it for a project later on.

...and you usually don't. By usually I mean never. You never use it.

8. You have way too much to carry at all times.

Between the tripod, drawing tablet, and box of supplies, you're practically a pack mule.

9. You complain most of the time you are creating your piece, but you still love the process in the end.

The whole time you're working you probably can't stop talking about how much work you're putting into the piece, and maybe even shed a few tears, but when all is said and done you can't deny that you loved it.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2085

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
