my picture has nothing to do with my post.
But, here goes.
Okay, I’ll be honest. Well, not honest..you would know this if you talked to me. I am a radical, I think very black-and-white (sometimes grey). I guess that’s one of the reasons I don’t want to be a business major or an art and fashion major. I don’t want to be a photography minor. I don’t want to be an economics major.
I understand why people would want to study something they love. I understand they want to pursue their passion. It’s not that I don’t respect those concentrations, but I feel like those are things you can succeed in without a major or a title. Why get an MBA and work for someone else when you can start your own business and gain your own valuable experience? Why get an art major when all you do is follow someone else’s rules, someone else’s style when you could be making your own masterpieces. Picasso didn’t need a teacher, and neither do artists - photographers included.
But something keeps bothering me.
Why do people keep pushing for me to be an art major? And sometimes, I really just want to follow that instinct, pick up my pencil, and never look back. I want to commission, I want to design, I want to create. I want to…
I want to save the world.
