Hello little sunshines! Today it's February 8 and...
Wait, WHAT?!
Excuse me, but where has January gone exactly?!
I mean, it feels like yesterday when I had the second physics test, and then the third, and had to send in the 6th render, and then the 7th, and then the 8th, and then... Oh, I see.
Let's start again then.
Hello people, today it's February 8 and the world sucks.
Ok, maybe it doesn't, but being a design student probably does. Ok, it doesn't.
Just a bit maybe.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE doing what I'm doing, but the thing is, most of my friends are studying in other fields and yet, no matter how hard a time they say to be having, they still seem to have a pretty decent life besides Uni - DISCLAIMER: I am absolutely NOT denigrating other study fields.
Now, I know this may seem overstating, but being a design student leaves you with little to no life at all, especially if you decide to take a part time job too.
It's not that we have loads of stuff to properly study - even though I'm surrounded by History of art books at the moment - the real problem is the incredible amount of time it takes to "complete" projects, which in reality you never truly complete, as any design/architecture student will confirm.
Unluckily, projects are what we choose this field for - masochists - so we can't really blame them, that's why I blame 3ds Max instead. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's actually Satan in it's 3D graphics software from, almost.
To give you guys an idea, here's a list of things you can do while waiting for your final render to be done:
1) Get your nails perfectly shaped and polished like in those cool tutorials.
2) Order a pizza.
3) Eat a pizza.
4) Have a long and meaningful conversation with your parents on FaceTime about how beautiful your kitty is.
5) Google Stephen Merchant on YouTube.
6) Laugh your butt off because of his lip sync battle with Jimmy Fallon.
7) Start thinking about all the songs you'd totally nail if you were to lip sync them.
