I feel insane whenever people I still follow from my old art school will post shit about how many problems it has, and then they're like >:( "change needs to happen now!!!!" And they're still. Going to that school. Like y'all know the best thing you can do is to drop out/transfer right... and not promote the school and try to get others to go. Maybe I'm stupid but like 🧍‍♂️ this institution only has power over you because it's making money off of your dream of being in the arts when almost no art(s) job is worth a damn if they care more about your degree than your actual skillset... anyways that's me being serious for 5 seconds, back to being silly.

#screaming into a paper bag #say whatever you want about it being hard to drop out bc of debt (im american) and bc a lot of the #ppl ik from there are juniors now but like #you cannot be serious #im sorry but i dropped out after one year bc they raised the tuition up TEN PERCENT #which i didnt think was a lot until i realized id have to take out thousands in loands bc my scholarships #wouldnt even cover the cost anymore #every department at the school had hugeeee problems but holy shit #the illustration major was so bad #both illustration and animation tbh #no barrier for entry bc portfolios were OPTIONAL #AND NOT MANDATORY #LIKE THEY SHOULD BE FOR AN #ART SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!#and i dont wanna be like that but a lot of the students werent very good at art BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY #didnt even wanna improve or take critique from peers or professors!!#everyone there thought they were gonna be the one to make it when a majority of them bitched and moaned about deadlines #very. reasonable. deadlines.#'i have other classes' 'i have a life' i had to commute an hour. i had a soul draining job in the second half of my year there.#and i still was consistently one of the first people to finish assignments #WITH TIME STILL TO WORK ON PERSONAL PROJECTS!!#and i really hate being super mean to people who are trying but a lot of them werent :/ and it really didnt show #people were turning in unfinished work so often that one of my professors constantly had to change the guidelines to include #UNFINISHED WORK!!!#and i absolutely worked my fucking ass off #just to have to drop out after a year because im POOR #CAUSE IM FUCKING POOR!!! AND ME NOR MY PARENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO PAY FOR 4 YEARS THERE!!@#i paid everything to go there #and now im in my last semester of community college getting the worlds most useless associates degree #anyways long tags but it always pisses me off bc its always the most privileged students who complain like this the most!!!!!!!!
