Useless liberal arts degrees

That's one of my most recent paintings/drawings.

I haven't posted in over a year. Needless to say, things have changed since then. I'm no longer attending school at the local community college, and I've now moved on to a big 10 school in the midwest-- and I'm loving it.
I'm another undergrad pursuing one of those superfluous Liberal Arts majors that no one needs right now. Not only that, but I'm pursuing not one, but TWO useless liberal arts degrees-- Spanish and English.
So does that make me doubly useless? Or slightly more useful... I'm not sure.
Who the hell told me to follow my dreams and study what I love to learn?
Idiots.
I'll probably end up moving down to New Orleans and selling my art (or body) for cheap prices, and potentially living in a box. Or squatting in one of the many empty buildings in the french quarter.
You know. No big deal.
My mom went down to NOLA a couple of weeks ago actually, and when she came back that's exactly what she told me. She was viewing all the different street artists, and her and my sister kept commenting on the lack of talent on the streets. She went so far as to tell me that I was better than 90% of the street vendors she saw, which I guess is good right? She told me if I fail at life, I can always fall back on street art vending in NOLA. That would kind of be awesome not going to lie. I've never been one to stay grounded and that would be pretty damn flexible. Only $150 a year for a permit. Do-able for sure.

Anyway.

I'm not going to go over the past year of my life in detail cause who wants to hear about that really. In a nutshell this has been the biggest highlights of the last year.

1. Broke it off with David for good.
2. Dated some d-bags for fun.
3. Dated a guido spring semester (also my first semester at the University of Iowa)
4. Realized I picked the best major for what I love doing
5. Realized I have a really ambiguous major
6. Signed up to go abroad to Seville, Spain next semester
7. Wrote a book for NANOWRIMO
8. Wrote some of my best stuff ever during spring semester
9. Working like 60 hours a week during the summer
10. Got an amazing job at the community college during fall semester as a writing consultant. It's amazing, I wish I had blogged about it.
11. Took a basic drawing class and realized I'm alright at art.

So, yes. Top 11 things that happened to me since the last time I blogged.

Until next time (hopefully sooner than the last),
