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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
