Hello Dinosaurs! Today I wanted to bring you a little life update. I've been looking forward to this for months now and today the time finally came. Today was my first day as a student at the Art Institute as a Graphic Design major. Someone out there is probably thinking, Didn't you already go to school for 5 years? And aren't you still finishing your Master's? Why yes, yes I have and yes I am.
But a few months ago I had a minor (read: major) life crisis in which I wasn't sure whether or not I really wanted to work in the Education field, or even continue studying it for that matter. I just didn't feel like I was in the right place in my life. After going back and forth over it in my head for weeks, and to surprise of everyone around me, I decided to enroll in the Art Institute. I ended up finishing my year at Virginia Tech and decided to finish my Master's, which I'm still working on, but I didn't want to wait any further to start something new. I feel that I had been missing some form of creativity in my life and I'm hoping that this is it.
After I got into reading blogs a few years ago I started to learn more about graphic design and see other people's work through their beautiful blogs. I'd always admired art throughout my life but didn't quite seem to have the skill for drawing so I never even thought about it. I was really attracted by the digital aspect of graphic design and how it could be used in so many different areas. So here I am.
I have no idea how any of this will turn out, but I am so excited for this new challenge. I never thought I'd be in school again, after almost completing 2 degrees, but life has a funny way of working out. I'm learning to just go with it. Why not?
