Alright.
New life plan.
here’s what i’m thinking
thanks to a very nice pep talk from my man
and my lovely roommate
i’ve made a couple decisions
the first of which is to go through with my BFA. I’m smart, it would be pretty over the top for me to not follow through with what i’ve done so far just because i feel worn. admittedly, i’ve been in class since august. it’s alright for me to feel ready for break.
the second is ignoring a class i’m failing. i’m not proud but for shit’s sake i’m busy. i’m 19 and supporting myself, and getting my ass through college all the while is terrifying. i’ve met 23 year olds unable to support themselves without their parents sending them a $50 weekly allowance.
shit has gotten real in these last several months.
but i am determined to make it work. especially with the thought of being that much closer to a degree while still in my teens, it just makes it better. i want to move to a big ass city, take pictures, be recognized (i mean not rich just be in a review or two or whatever) and sell some apartments. god, if that man graduates and wants me to come with him it’s going to be hell to say no.
visiting my adviser tomorrow to see what i can do to make this easier on myself and my life. i haven’t slept in for such a long ass time.
i would love a nap.
SO, update for now in the turmoil of my current state of being
the man’s out of town for the next few days visiting family
looks like it’s you and me margarita mix and The Only Way Is Essex.
teach me the ways of being English trash

into the idea of taking a semester off to work.
but i’d rather not be a semester then behind.
to be honest, i’d rather just transfer my BFA to an associates.
maybe pick up my degree later down the road.
when i’m okay with being a student again.
i just want to take pictures and play my ukulele
listen to my boyfriend tell me he loves me
and watch some terrible horror films from the late 80’s
and be a goddamn leasing consultant
because i’m the file whisperer
and in turn, can sell anything
the only thing stopping me is an outdated and unreasonable assumption you need a degree to manage through life.
and that’s idiotic
i just want to learn everything from the OSU photo department
the GEC are the biggest waste of my time i’ve ever encountered.

The 13 Most Useless College Majors (As Determined By Science)
1. Fine Arts
3. Film, Video, and Photographic Arts
4. Commercial Art and Graphic Design
5. Architecture
6. Philosophy and Religious Studies
7. English…
I’m a current major in #9, soon to be adding a dual in #3. Fuck that. Also, anthro majors: you don’t make a ton of money right out of school because most undergrads go right on to grad school. Anthro also requires a lot of working during the degree-getting process. For instance next summer I’m most likely going to St. Thomas or Southeast Asia for 6 weeks. That’s right, class credit for going to the carribbean to dig up cool shit and/or learn about people. Can’t beat that.
Hollaaaa at Architecture being #5! Fuck that major.
Aw graphic art and design. You number four skank.
Number 2 up in the hizzy!
So anyone notice that these are “feminine” occupations that require the feminine skills of creativity, communication and understanding? OF FUCKING COURSE MALE-ORIENTED “SCIENCE” IS GOING TO LABEL THEM USELESS.
Don’t fucking tell me that the arts are useless. In such a visual, media-oriented society, design, creativity, and ART are everywhere. When you go home at night, you don’t read the latest science journals about finding the largest prime number, YOU WATCH FUCKING TV, WHICH IS MADE BY WRITERS, ACTORS, DIRECTORS, AND ARTISTS. Seriously. do. not. fucking. TELL ME that the arts are unimportant. Just because it’s not in a museum or a literary journal does not mean it’s not art.
Reblogging from my personal blog just because I think it’s an important message to get out: if anyone ever tells you that art and creativity are unimportant, it’s a fucking lie. Never ever EVER feel ashamed or less-than for pursuing what you love and what you’re good at. Honestly, where would OMG that Dress and OMG that Artifact be without creative people following their passion?
I AM A PROUD FEMINIST WOMAN, AND I FAILED REMEDIAL MATH SEVERAL TIMES. I AM FOLLOWING MY PASSION AS A WRITER BECAUSE IT IS NOT USELESS AND UNIMPORTANT, AND I WOULDN’T DO ANYTHING ELSE.
I am a forensic photographer. I document crime scenes and my work is necessary for proper procedure in any crime…ever.
how many times do i get to use my BFA?
how much do you watch the news?
