Alright.
I am a freshman at Columbus College of Art and Design.
All my life I always knew I wanted to do art. Its the only thing I'm good at.
I never even considered any other options. That was my plan and I was sticking to it no matter what. And now I'm at an art school and I don't like it here. Ugh. Why? It seems like wherever I go I can't just be happy.
Coming to CCAD was the biggest mistake of my life.
I hate it here!
I don't know what I want to do.
I love art so much ... but I can't love it if I'm not happy where I'm at. I like the idea of CCAD, but the reality of it is just not for me. I'm not into anime .. I don't like to be labeled and being put into groups ... CCAD is not as diverse as everyone thinks.
Pros:
-Good, solid art education
-Well known school
-Small campus which means easier to talk to professors
-Focused on art and art only [no math or science ... ever!]
Cons:
-Expensive ... really expensive
-Small campus which means ... nothing to do
-Really "clicky" ...
-Small school which means not much of a chance to meet many new people
-4th floor lobby ... ahh ...
-Anime ... lots of anime... yeah I hate it.
-Won't be well - rounded
I need some help with this. This is a really big choice in my life right now .. and I can't afford to make another mistake by choosing the wrong college.
My mom suggested I take a year off. I think thats what I am going to end up doing. I know for a fact I will not be attending CCAD next year.
It scares me not knowing where I will be. I feel so lost and utterly confused.
Help???
