I think art has always been one of those controversial majors. Most people do not think you can do anything with it outside of college. I try to think differently.
However, just because I believe a person can get a job with an art degree doesn't mean I think everyone can. It's based on talent (just like everything else).
When I first started at ASU this semester, I was completely discouraged. Everything my instructors were saying was flying right over my head, and I would cry every single night. I'm not used to being the confused person in the class.
After a few weeks, I felt like I was at everyone else's level. I was making neat projects and getting higher grades that most of my peers. I was feeling confident about my choice to become an artist instead of a doctor.
Anyways, about 15 minutes ago I looked in the grade book for one of my classes to find that I got an 85% on my last project. I understand that grade does not seem bad to most people, but I can't stand B's. They are so ugly to me. It's even worse when you spend $60+ and hours of time on a project only to receive a B.
Once again, I am feeling completely discouraged. I'm not sure if this is the major I'm meant to be in. I don't always feel the drive I think I should be feeling. I hope this is just another one of my breakdowns, but at the same time, I'm not sure I should have to experience these breakdowns at all. /rant.
