#freashmen

This is now my own tread (I think that's what it's called here on tumblr. I wouldn't know 90% of my blog is just reposts) about my experience at the summer school I'm going too cause boy I feel like its gonna be a shitshow and I dont know why. For some context I'm now writing this on the 9th of July and I started it on the second. Heres what happened so far.

There is no ac and it's hot like tom holland out here right now cause global warming

I dropped my fork and tried to grab it in mid air but missed and also dropped my FREE WAFFLES

They have a few giant fans but only one really does anything for me

Today a group leader was trying to make us do dodgeball but some other kinda freshmen didn't wanna do it so the group leader (who looks slightly older than us and us probably doing this for hours) gave up and just let us have the balls so some people started mini games of volleyball and dodgeball and the rest (including me) got on phones. After 20 minutes another leader walks up to me and says we can't be on phones so I go to put mine back. As I'm walking 3 other students and another another leader are on phones CLEAR TO SEE

The teachers have given us freezes 2 times

So as of a few weeks ago, I completed my first year of design college. I cannot put into words how amazing this year has been so far. I have been nervous, excited, shy, proud, disappointed... just a whole whirlwind of emotions! I can't believe how friendly my fellow classmates have been as well as all the college staff and lecturers; I was feeling very lonely for a while in between semesters-- missing my old friends back home, not having anyone to hang out with on weekends nor a boyfriend, but I pushed through it and am now much more confident around everyone (I have even been out for drinks more than once ;) ) From an creative point of view, I feel like my horizon has broadened significantly: I no longer feel like a one-trick pony! Though I am still no pro at design, I feel like I can make it with effort and passion. I remember one of my teachers saying "Talent can only get you so far." which lifted my spirits a little. We have many talented artists and designers out there, but there are only a few who through blood, sweat, tears (and cramped hands) have really made something of themselves. I am very passionate about design, so I aim high-- real high! Of course there will be times where I will doubt myself... many many times... but I think I can do this. Although I haven't really written or posted much on this blog, (and have very few followers) I have found it a constant source of inspiration and encouragement to myself throughout this year. The artists and designers of tumblr are an inspriation and one day I hope I can share my designs and illustrations with pride and inspire other freashmeat designers out there.
