#trying to let myself stop worrying ab my csssa imposter syndrome so that i can instead focus on the things i should actually be worried ab

[uncannyandi]

ayyy same. i don't think i'm a bad artist but i'm also not a super incredible artist like some of the people i've met in the community, especially a lot of the people who got rejected. also the work i submitted for my app was very rushed, i think i had like 3 days to make it all? and as a result i feel like it turned out very stiff, hastily-made, barely showing off my strengths. i have no idea how i got accepted 😭 i had extremely severe imposter syndrome in the beginning but eventually i learned to cope by just being like "well, even if there was some sort of error or moment of poor judgment from the admissions committee that resulted in me getting a spot, i still get to go and have a great summer making art" i've basically been trying to channel the energy of this post

(and, of course, rehashing stuff i've heard from internet posts from previous years, the admissions committee is good at what they do and no one accidentally gets in. everyone who was accepted deserves their spot even if imposter syndrome is a lil nuisance lol)

CSSSA is a little over a week away and I’m still VERY unsure of how I got in in the first place.

90% sure this is the imposter syndrome talking but still AAAAAAAAAA
