5 Relatable Dilemmas Artists Face Almost Every Day

Sometimes I'm flattered and sometimes I'm just sick of it.

Note: An immense amount of sarcasm is found in this article.

1. Someone comes up to you when you're drawing and says, "OH MY GOSH DID YOU DRAW THAT?!?"

Like no, there's a ghost drawing this while I'm observing it. I totally can't even draw. I mean, even though I'm holding this pencil and literally drawing lines right in front of you, I totally did not draw this on my own paper. In fact, what is this drawing that you speak of?

2. When the teacher asks if there are any people in the class who is an artist and everyone's head immediately turns around to look at you.

Yes, everyone please look at me! This is totally not incredibly awkward because if you look at me, the teacher will either make me answer super fun questions about art and my experience for at least 10 minutes. But it's okay because I just love all of the attention on me!

3. When you just draw a circle and someone says, "OH MY GOSH YOU'RE SO GOOD AT ART! I WISH I WAS YOU!!!"

I know right? To be honest, circles are SO hard to draw. Like only artists can draw circles. Even though I originally thought that circles are literally a shape everyone can draw, apparently circles that are so-called "uneven" circles aren't considered circles! I never knew this since in preschool! I guess I just went to the wrong preschool then!

4. When the teacher talks about a partner project and several people come up to you asking you to be their partner mainly because they know you're artistic.

I love how you all want to work for me just because I'm an artist! I totally don't feel used right now. But it's okay! I love being used for projects and I love how you pretend as if we're the closest friends ever!

5. When there's an assignment and someone asks you to draw something for them.

Yes, I will totally love to break the honor code at my school and help you on a school assignment! I would love to do the work for you because it's not like I have any other work to do! I mean, I only have like three tests and four quizzes this week, but to be honest, it's nothing! I'll just stop everything just for you!

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.

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

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.
