Graphic design is one of those things that everybody sees, yet many don’t notice. But as a graphic design student, you can look at a simple poster, sign or label and can only imagine how many hours of manpower rest between images. Here are 24 things all graphic design majors can agree with—ESPECIALLY our hate of Comic Sans:

1. You’re number one fear is your computer crashing and losing everything.


2. And you cringe when you see people not saving their projects on an external hard drive.

3. You have a teacher that has taught you more than all of your other professors combined.

4. And you would kiss the ground they walk on if it were socially acceptable.

5. You will low key fight someone who thinks Apple is better than PC.

6. You have spent many a night in your campus’s computer lab.

7. And have done some crazy/questionable things after hours.

8. You have a student squad that are your supporters, confidants and critics.

9. And the majority of messages you send are about what to do when you've hit a wall.

10. Once learned about the glory of Helvetica, you saw it everywhere.

11. You sometimes just download fonts for fun.

12. And you also agree that finding the font that finally brings a project together is nearly orgasmic.

13. The overuse of Comics Sans puts you on your deathbed.

14. And the price of purchasing the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite nearly put you in an early grave.

15. Your appreciation for good packaging has increased hundredfold.

16. And GREAT packaging will stop you dead in your tracks.

17. You mostly buy magazines for their layout and design inspiration.


18. And you kinda feel like an annoying hipster when your art and design tastes are a tad more “advanced” than the average Joe.

19. But sometimes you just have to speak up when someone uses Papyrus or Brush Script.

20. You most likely have a high affinity for stationary.

21. And have a few brands that you would travel to the ends of the earth for.

22. You follow graphic designers on social media the way others follow the Kardashian clan.


23. You revel in how big and badass your portfolio has gotten since your Freshman year.

24. And you have found that your work gets better as the night gets older.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
