Being an art major at times can be stressful, frustrating, and down right depressing. Our projects are never just right, our professors are always overly critical, and the nude models always tend to pose in a very unsettling way. Through all of our daily struggles however, we manage to find the light at the end of the tunnel and create beautiful pieces and never for a second regret the decision to study art.

1. You think you have the perfect project idea and then change it 200 more times.

"Maybe I"ll make a penguin sculpture....wait no an exact replica of Donald Trump's toupee....no too hairy...."

2. When your supplies are so expensive you think about selling your organs on the black market.

Your food pyramid consisted of Ramen and PB&J for the rest of the semester after you bought all of your stuff.

3. Most of your art classes are at least 2 hours long.

You could probably go to the DMV, wait in every single line, and get out before your class is anywhere close being over.

4. The disaster your room becomes when you do homework in it.

Your room was messier than Taylor Swift's love life TBH.

5. You have to draw naked people more than you would like.

6. You have to use mediums that you have never used.

7. Your professors are never exactly "normal".

Our professors are artists, and lets face it, no artist is normal.

8. There is only one forbidden world in art school: FINALS.

9. Walking to class with your supplies is considered cardio for the week.

10. Trying to explain art stuff to your non-art friends.

Me: So I said Phthlao Blue not Ultramarine!

Friend: What?

Even though there are a lot of hard and stressful times being an art major, there are so many wonderful times too. You meet friends you can relate to, discover new mediums, grow as a person and as an artist, and so much more. How lucky are we that we get to go to school for our passion and eventually are able to get a job doing what we love. Art major is life is the best kind of life!
