Pretty good day, I guess lol

So it wasn't that bad today. My classes went by pretty quickly. I feel like I'm learning a little bit in my classes. I mean today I learned how to use a tool in Photoshop that I really had no idea how to use. And my perspective drawings were really easy, surprisingly. I thought that this drawing class was going to be the death of my but I actually got in to it today. I know I sound like a complete nerd but going to school for something as amazing as design is my kind of awesome lol. I transferred over from a big name university and I hated it. I felt like I was just a number and I couldn't talk to any of my teachers and it just was depressing all around. When I spoke to my counselor there for the last time she suggested seeing a therapist because I was "depressed". So I transferred to a smaller school and I'm absolutely fine. I love my classes and the teachers are personable and easy to talk to.

I love the fact that I can actually joke and have a good time with my teachers. I wish I wouldn't have wasted so much time with that university and just came here all along. I'm sure that has sounded like an advertisement for Gateway but I really don't care. I love where I'm at right now and I feel like my life is on the right track.

Boring Life of a College Student

So I have realized that my life is completely and utterly uneventful. Since school has started back, which has only been for two weeks, I literally have done nothing fun. All because of the stupid money situation and the fact that I have a lack of it. I would love to just be able to be like "Oh yeah you want to go out, let's do it," or even "Hey I'm starving let's go get something to eat." But instead I'm more like "Well I've scrounged up .65 cents so I'm going to go get some Ramen." My amazingly exciting day today consists of working on homework because I can't afford to go out with my friend for her 21st birthday...

I really can't wait until I've graduated from college and have a steady job and getting amazing paychecks. Okay, maybe not AMAZING paychecks at first but a steady paycheck would suit me just fine ha ha.

Through Child's Eyes

Right now I'm currently employed at a daycare. This is my part time job while I'm in school. I've always loved kids. Even when I was younger I used to take care of all the little ones at family functions. As I grew up this has never changed. I still keep and eye on the kids and play with them when I can.

I think the biggest reason I still love kids is that I'm actually a kid myself. I love running around for no reason, getting dirty, and I love trying new things. These attributes are what make me feel like a kid at heart. These feelings are what make me feel like I would be great at design. As a kid you're not afraid to be creative or do your own thing and be crazy, you just do it. As many kids and teens grow up they hold onto that fear and lose a lot of their creative side.

That is somewhat where my problems lie. I am drawn to bright colors and love to take chances. Sometimes this hinders me because I'm always looking for ways to interject bright colors when the client doesn't exactly feel like it is necessary. So my problem lies in the fact that I have no fear when it comes to putting colors, patterns, and shapes together. 

I've not lost this fear of creativity, no matter how many times someone has told me, "You can't put those colors together," or "Why did you take this out." I just look at those people and realize they are just afraid to take chances. They need to look at a project, whatever it may be, through a child's eyes.
