6 Things All Art Majors Know to be True

In This Article:

We've heard it all folks.

1. When people ask what your major is and you say art, mentally preparing for them to ask "what you plan to do with that?" or "how will you make money?"

I honestly don't know what I want to do, but you know what? Neither do a lot of business majors, or communications majors just to name a few. So just because my field isn't portrayed as financially stable or as overflowing with jobs as some others don't mean its that much different when it comes to after graduation.

2. Carrying that portfolio around all the time sucks

My back is ALWAYS hurting after lugging that thing around!

3. Most of the time when I leave class I am SO dirty

Whether it's plaster, paint, charcoal, wood chippings, pastel, or clay there is always some remnants from the studio that day.

4. Finishing a project that you have spent HOURS on is the best feeling

Im talking those 30+ hour projects... man after those that first layer of spray fix hits different!

5. When you tell people you paint, most of the time its followed by "Oh, well I've seen a Bob Ross video!"

Yeah so have we and I can promise you we are not as happy and calm when in the studio as he is.

6. People thinking our major is literally just arts and crafts

Sorry to burst your bubble but art majors actually do work and I would almost guarantee that the students who are serious about it put in more hours outside of class than most other majors.

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.
