How The Arts Improved Me As a Person

Exploration did it all.

The arts have been a part of my life for just almost five years now and if I were to compare myself now to how I was prior to high school, I'd say that I'm at a better standing now that I would've been if I wasn't exposed to the arts.

In middle school, I didn't know where I would end up. The school was focused on micro societies, where each classroom every Thursday would act as a business with different roles that the students would take on. I felt that I was going to be lost if I continued this, but I was oblivious that I could study and witness the arts to the degree that I have.

Having the availability to study writing, theatrics, visual arts, set designing, computer arts, and all else has been an absolute change in my life. When I first auditioned to be a part of creative writing studies, I was, firstly, very nervous about presenting writing that I've done within a weeks span. Secondly, I've never auditioned for anything before nor practiced for an audition. Once I secured a spot though, I immediately felt a passion towards writing and studying poets with their writing.

Soon after, I began studying other arts like theatre, computer arts, film, photography, and theatre design. I discovered that arts can all aid each other in creating something big and extremely creative. I used this to communicate with other artists and see what projects I can help in. Though this, I found that I can communicate very well now than I was able to prior.

I also felt more comfortable with myself. I became comfortable with everything that I hold interests for and learned to try new things when I can because exploration is how I grow both as a person and to hold more passions. I'm confident with meeting people and have become a better all round person.

I've found what I want to pursue in my life and feel well doing handwork for it. I've learned that I'm capable of doing so much in my life, though I haven't believed it when I was told this by teachers. There's always strong encouragement in trying something new because you don't know where it could take you.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
