10 Things All Of Us "Creatives" Know To Be True

Let's face it. Majoring in Art in college comes with the ball and chain stereotype that you're a weirdo. Regardless of whether we're a strange breed of human or not, all Art Majors have some commonly shared truths.

10 we all know to be way too true:

1. You spend more money on Art supplies a month than you do groceries.

Who needs food anyways? Van Gogh ate paint and he turned out.... okay?


2. You drink coffee. All day. Everyday.

And the one day you try to go without a cup you can't make a coherent sentence to save your life.


3. You're the go-to friend for all creative needs.

Because we have ALL the free time in the world and love working for free.

4. You always get left behind when you're out with friends because you don't just see things, you analyze.

"Oh my gosh. Look at that sign. It's beautiful. I have to take a picture."

5. You end up buying the most random things for projects.


YOU: "Yes, I need 10,000 bullets"

CAHSIER: "....."

YOU: ".. It's for an art project...."


6. You have tons of funny jokes, but only other art majors get them.



7. Any place is a good place to sleep.

Under and on top of desk, hallways, stairwells and even the occasional standing nap.


8. Creative epiphanies happen to you when you're inevitably in public and people just stare.

But, that's okay because genius doesn't happen everyday, am I right?


9. People think our course work is easy.

But have you every tried to write a 10 page paper on a single painting before?


10. We're the ones who understand the world around us in a way others can't.

But we wouldn't have it any other way.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
