A Few Reasons Why Drawing is Awesome

Drawing is an activity that is possible for all people that can hold a marker. Kids as young as two or three are able to start using colors, and people can continue to draw until they can physically do it no longer. Now, drawing can be categorized in many different ways, it can be a little doodle, or a painting that stated off as an outline. Drawing is a broad term that is often individualized. As a kid, I drew in class and whenever I had free time, however never put much thought into it. While drawing is something that requires discipline, in order to complete a piece, it is an activity that can teach us more about ourselves and expand our horizons. Recently, I’ve taken up drawing for many different reasons, and here are a few:

  1. Relaxation – Drawing is a meditative activity. Once you begin to draw, whatever it is, can be a meditative and calming activity. Drawing patterns and design takes a good amount of attention, which often blocks other issues out. When someone is focused on doing one thing so much, other things that person was feeling or thinking get drowned out. This is one of the outcomes of drawing, especially through patterns and coloring.
  2. Creativity – When someone begins to draw or even takes out a colored pencil, their brain is working to think about what the next move may be. Drawing is a skill that requires thinking about colors and shapes that look good together, and making something creative and beautiful. Coloring a coloring book even requires creativity as well, with an even bigger focus on the colors that go together. Always working you brain while drawing, helps to make the art that much better.
  3. Making Art – While being relaxed and creative, by drawing or coloring, people are also getting a beautiful work of art to keep and hole on to. While people can hold onto their art, some people may also decide to give it away to someone, making another person happy, while they are as well.

The point I’m trying to make, is that drawing or coloring isn’t just good for one purpose, but awesome for many. I’ve found that drawing really makes me feel good, and others as well. If your looking for something chill and creative to partake in, try taking out some pens and pencils and draw what’s on your mind.

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.
