College and schooling




in Misfit Hive
So I know we've all kinda grown into a small little community, The Hive, and I'm glad to be a part of it. I was always curious if anyone has gone to college and if so, what'd you wanna study and did you ever change majors. I myself am currently at college and I'm studying architecture. I'm currently a Junior and I'm going for my Master's degree. Its pretty cool, pretty hard though. But I guess it has to be. I get to make some pretty cool models and I get to design some pretty cool things. I've changed my major a few times before actually going into college. I changed from game design to graphic design, teaching, game testing, and a couple others. Mainly I changed so much cause I was never happy with something or I knew that it would be tough to get a job. I wanted to do graphic/game design because of my love of video games, but I knew getting a job is hard, also I'm terrible at designing graphic (funny how I went to architecture then haha). So yeah, that's my story of college and what I'm doing, hopefully you guys are interested in my story of college and what I'm doing. If you guys ever wanna see some of work, I'm happy to post anything. :)

My boyfriend did his undergrad in Architecture - he went to University of Illinois and did a lot of cool things. (We still have a few models at the house) and eventually he went on to a Master of Fine Arts at Washington University, here in St. Louis.
I always had a pretty solid idea that I wanted to be an 'Artist' - I graduated high school and did some community college for a year or two before I transferred to MIAD. It was there that I found a more specific focus and developed my method and (I use this loosely) 'style'. College was great for me - I did horribly in school all the way through high school and once I got to college it was totally my jam. Dean's list, all that good stuff .
I think sometimes you just gotta find the environment that works for you :'D And in some cases that means switching around majors and finding what's right. I wouldn't worry at all about still figuring things out - trust me - no one knows what they're doing :'D All of us are winging it each day. Even after graduation. Even 10, 20, 30 years down the road. Especially creatives. c:
But recently I've been learning how to program and taking a few computer science courses in school along with graphic design courses.
So I'm thinking of going for computer science at Fanshawe College or Waterloo University.
Haven't really decided yet but I will have to by January ;-;
