It kind of has already :/ it keeps me from my boyfriend who I absolutely love and adore :(

Aw. You can't win for trying!

*points to self* Me? "Awesome looking" avatar? O _ O
Gee, thanks. :sweat: I don't even have a plan for it or anything except make it Halloween-y to fulfill my obsession for the holiday. XD

@ zomichan - Sorry to hear about your school troubles. We're in the same sort of boat. I'm in a university also right now and not doing so hot myself. I started having trouble with my Gen-Ed classes and caused my GPA to drop slightly below the required quota for taking classes in my major. I stayed here for a bit over the summer to re-take a class that I did poorly in to replace it for a higher one, which I did, but unfortunately I received a B instead of an A...which would have raised my GPA back up enough and let me take my major's classes. I am now only one measly point away from taking upper level classes, but it's frustrating.
I'm also having trouble deciding whether or not I'm in the right major. I applied for my school's art program when I first applied, but months later after I was wait-listed they informed me in a letter that they didn't have any more room for me. So not having a Plan B, I applied for the major of Creative Advertising. It sounded like a next best choice. I took a few beginner classes in my major as a Freshman but they didn't tell me much about what I could do with it. I later had an argument with my Mother after I considered re-applying for the art school. She is worried that an art career wouldn't make enough money for me to be healthy and happy (but then again she also thought that I still wanted to make Mangas for the rest of my life :lol: ). I understood why she was upset, but I was also jealous of my friends that were actually a part of the art school. They were actually learning how to make things while I was stuck with math problems that I was not going to use (at least very often) in my life.

Sigh.... I'm a little more hopeful about my major now. I'm doing small pieces of research about it as well as trying to get into an art class that I don't have to be a part of the art school to sign up for, so I can see if I want to actually re-apply to be a part of it. My friends also support me by telling me that I don't have to be in the art major to make things or be in an art-related career.
That makes me smile. :)

*looks at all of the paragraphs* ...Whoa, did I actually write all of that? < <;;
I never knew I could rant so much. I hope I get a lot of gold for this. :rofl:

Wow! Surely that post must have been therapeutic for you! :XD But thank you for sharing with us. :D

What is it that you want to do with art?

That's my other problem- I have no idea. :sweat:

I like so many things about art. I like drawing, but I'm not that great at it. I really enjoy photography, but I have yet to use or own a professional digital (I only have a film one) camera. I took 2 years of Photography in High School combined with 2 years of Computer Graphics which taught me about using Photoshop. When I hit my Senior year I realized that I missed my non-digital art classes, so I took another year of regular art where I discovered that I enjoyed clay sculpting. We only did it for a couple of class periods, and I only made a small bird, but it really grew on me. I also really enjoy fiction writing, something I consider to be a separate art form.

Anyway, I found in High School that I can't decide where to focus. I wanted to be well-rounded so I took a bit of everything, but now I can't decide what I want to do.

It seems like you should continue exploring your options. It might be that you just haven't found your passion yet in the grand scope of art and artistical endeavors.

Yeah, you're probably right. Thanks for the support! :)

No problem! :D

So is Halloween your favorite holiday?

I don't think I have a favorite XD

no, not really. The holidays are always stressful with my family. Everyone tries so hard to be "normal" and have a good time, but it doesn't work when everyone is so controlling and have conflicting ideas

Hmm I think I killed this thread last time I was on Mene. XD Hi.... -scared-

hello, and you haven't killed it ^^ it comes back to life, I've lost track of how many times it's been resurrected XD

Though if I had to choose a holiday it would either be Christmas or Halloween. I like getting presents, but I also like getting candy, dressing up and of course, scaring people :twisted:

Halloween is DEFINITELY my favorite holiday! :yes:

It's one of my obsessions. I posted on in the "Holidays?" forum about why I like it so much already, so I'll just quote it instead of writing it in different words all over again.

I usually just do little pranks on my sister. One time I dressed in all black, had the hood on my hoodie pulled up so it covered part of my forehead, and waited in the dark on the stairs to the basement with my shoulders hunched over, and then I had my mom send her to the basement to get some laundry. She was so scared that when she went to step backwards out of shock she fell XD she still hasn't forgiven me ^^

Yeah it's pretty fun, it's almost too easy, but I get my kicks where I can

There's an upcoming event? When did this happen?

hello everyone

oh gosh lol i have killed so many threads i should be on a most wanted list x_x Seriously, it seems most of the time i get in the last post and nobody else posts after me :(

ah ok, and no letting the thread die, it's a zombie as it is XD
