Tuesday thoughts: I actually hate Tuesdays more than Mondays. I always have. For some reason I feel like Tuesday is the longest day in the week. Probably because all my longest classes are always on Tuesday. Somehow, I managed to have all my longest classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at my time at College but I give Thursday the exception since it the day before Friday.

Graduation can't come soon enough. I only had two classes today but they're my longest ones. Luckily I have a three hour window before my next one so I spent that time trying to be productive. I wasn't feeling up for studying in my room and I was definitely not going to the library so I ended up going to Markin instead. When I want somewhere to focus, Markin or Westlake is one of my favorite places to study because having a good change of scenery is nice. However, Markin may not be the greatest when you're sitting by the door with people coming and going. I end up getting the ball rolling for a solid ten minutes until one of my friends stops by. Usually I am good at staying on task but we ended up talking for about a half hour. So most of my productivity was talking and laughing. Totally worth it though. 

After that I ended going to my three hour Senior graphic design class. Yep, I'm preparing for my portfolio show in the Spring hoping that someone will offer me a job, or even a business card would be cool too... I'm currently trying to think of a creative packaging design that revolves around rebranding a console or video game for Nintendo. Right now, it's kind of a burden since this project is not limited to any creative freedom. You'd think not right? Wrong. I am one of those people that need some direction of what to do. Also, this project is supposed to be based around ourselves and what we like. I don't even know myself that well. What do I even like? Who am I?? 

Aside from all that, I dropped my first class during College. Last Tuesday, I had a revelation while lying in bed. I always get these crazy thoughts when I'm trying to go to sleep or in the shower. While thinking/stressing over my classes before graduation, I asked myself, why am I taking 15 credit hours as a Senior? I realize that's not the case for others when they are either double majoring or its just because they need it to graduate, but something wasn't right. After looking through my degree audit and realizing that Psychology 101 was not a requirement for my degree, I dropped that so fast. The amount of relief I felt was rejuvenating knowing I'd have more time to focus on my Senior design project. I don't know what I was thinking during my advising appointment, but now I have a "W" on my transcript. Oh well, I'll still be able to graduate. #senioryear #tuesdaythoughts

    I agree that this last semester is flying by. But I think I am the opposite of you, I want it to slow down. I am not ready to graduate and enter the real world. Hopefully your Tuesdays get better as the semester goes on. Good luck on your portfolio show!

#stress

What's up? This week I am back and will cover some days I've either enjoyed or days that are filled with stress! Don't worry, it's mainly good days! First off, the senioritis and stress are in full swing as I balance on with my Senior project, deadlines, and social life. The ride isn't over yet, so let's jump in Friday After my working out with one of my buddies at Markin we decided to hit up Corelife Eatery because nothing better like eating healthy food after a good workout! (We had coupons for a free meal so we took advantage). Let me just say Corelife is a really nice place to eat at. I believe they opened a little over a year ago and I tried it for the first time last year as well. While the food is good, I feel like it's missing some sort of flavor to it. I ended up getting a chicken noodle and rice broth bowl (essentially chicken noodle soup) and I thought it was meh. Since it's Corelife, there needs to be some sort of healthy greens added ...

Countdown

Hey guys, hope you're wrapping up your semesters nicely. This is it Seniors, we're basically a month out to graduation. With so little time left, there's a lot to get done. Portfolios, final projects, papers, AHHH! Granted, my finals schedule is pretty laid back, however, the weeks leading up to finals is literally hell. I'll explain this shortly. Let's get going with this week's blog! A Day in the Windy City On Friday, I went on a day trip to Chicago with AIGA, a graphic design organization. This was a great opportunity for my friends and I to network with real creative directors in the city as well as get a feel for what a design agency is really like. Personally, I feel like I could see myself in a design agency because I like open workspace as well as a fun and creative environment. Also, one of the design agencies we visited does a lot of promotional ads for McDonald's so I thought that was actually neat. However, I can't imagine staring at...

Travel day

Hello all! Hope everyone is recovering well from their spring breaks. We're getting so close to the end of the year. By this time it feels repetitive since this is my fourth year at Bradley. It's always after spring break that the year snowballs and before we know it, the year is over. This time around it will be different for us Seniors because we won't be returning. Depending on how you look at it, this is the light at the end of the tunnel for some. For me, it's a mix of emotions. I'm ready to graduate, but I know I will miss the memories I've made in my shirt time here.  Zoo Day Anyhow, this past weekend was mainly traveling. Friday was my last full day in LA for Spring Break. I spent most of the day at the LA Zoo while looking at exotic animals. I personal favorite was watching a pack of flamingos. Fun fact of the blog: a pack of flamingos is called a flamboyance. Other animals I saw included, chimpanzees, giraffes, and other aquatic animals. Heres m...
