Can I have one semester where I don’t question my decision to be a graphic design major? A semester where I don’t feel like a loser in almost all aspects of my life?
I got a C- on my latest advertising project. Considering I only have half a semester left, I have to get at least a B+ in the last two projects in order to get a B in the class. I don’t know what it is about advertising. I took it for 2 years back in high school, the last year being a college level class. Maybe it’s a different game as I’m a junior in college, but something is just not working out and it’s frustrating. Every week it’s something else. Not with my actual work (I can handle the critiques) but something stupid like my file taking too long to load or the way my sketches get scanned in.
But it’s just school.
It’s just school.
I’m sick of it. I’m sick of worrying about grades. I just want college to be over. These past few years have been crappy. There have been highlights, sure, but mainly just a blur of unnecessary stress and disappointment.
It’s just school though. I’ve made it this far, I can push through to the end. I’ll still have interesting electives to look forward to, toddlers to hang out with and cute, talented boys to flirt with every so often.
Once I graduate, no one is going to care about what grades I got in class. I’m not saving lives, I’m just designing things.
And it’s advertising. I’m a graphic design major.
And I’m getting an ‘A’ in my graphic design class.
