A job for me

 I don't like to think a lot about work and the future because people have scared me, every time you say you study arts there is a comment about the lack of work and things like that. But if I had to dream, beyond all these fears and insecurities, the job I would like to have would be to paint and sell very expensive paintings. I imagine myself painting at home and going outside very little, perhaps with pale skin from being locked up for so long. I definitely like indoor jobs, as you may have noticead. 

Although I wouldn't mind traveling if it is from time to time to beautiful countries. I would like to be very well financially so as not to worry too much about subsisting and eventually taking care of my mother or my sister, so the salary, which is the paintings sold, must be gigantic. 

On the other hand, now I study plastic arts and perhaps next year I will study to be a teacher, because I like to teach, but also for job and economic stability, since nothing assures me that selling paintings will work. I don't really know what I'll do after going through university.

 I'm too stressed and unmotivated now to be enthusiastic about something, although when the time comes to decide ... what will come, I will have to make a choice and I will have to convince myself that it is adequate.

    I understand you... I also have considered to study to be a teacher because of the economic stability but I'm not sure if that would make me happy :-(

    I think that your insecurity is very common in the art are, I have it too, I really don't like talking about this when people asks me because I imagine that they are already thinking that I'm going to die from starvation since "I'm not gonna be able to find work". Which, yeah, it is very possible, this area is hard, but, in my case, is also what I want. And since I don't know what is going to happen, I'm just going to try my best until there's no other choice but finding something else to do.

I love cinema

 I have always loved the cinema, but since I am studying art I believe that I  have another relationship with it because with the art my sensations open up to the visual elements and also I'm very open to feel whatever the movie or series makes me feel.  I have a lot of empathy and I'm so sensitive too, so practically I feel always like the protagonist, the secundary character or even the extras.  I generally like fantasy, action, psychological or suspense movies. I also like to watch documentary series of serial killers or political dictators, although the last time I saw a documentary of a person surfing a 36-meter wave. I've actually seen a lot of movies and series, so naming just a few types of genres sounds very specific.  A remarkable film that I've seen is called "La la land", I was crying for almost two days after seeing it. The movie is a musical and meanwhile the plot progresses it turns into a kind of magical realism, where the characters walk throu...

The best holiday I've had

Image
The best holiday I have had was in January of this year, when I went with my boyfriend to Laguna Verde. It was a very good holiday because we were completely alone for a week and it was very comfortable to be with him pretending to be a couple living together. Apart from being romantic, we were able to realize our good coexistence meanwhile  we're dealing with common problems in the house (such as sharing chores and adapting to each other's times). We walked to the beach every day, sunbathed, watched two entire TV series, read a lot, and we did ... well, the things couples do when they're alone. It was the best holiday compared to others that I have had with my family or my friends, because with my boyfriend (unlike with other people) I get along very well with him and in general he's very relaxed, so there are never uncomfortable moments . I also became friends with many dogs in the area, which for me, is always a great thing. -Laguna Verde Beach

Things need to change

 Throughout these years in college I have thought about all the things that need to be changed. For example, there are mandatory non-art elective classes that are taken in order of enrollment, but art students are allowed to enroll last, so we always take what no one wanted to take. If I could, I would replace it with practice activities where students are admitted to museums and galleries, and thus they can enter that field when they graduate from the career.  I believe, on the other hand, that the academic workload  and lenght of studies is fine, and in that sense I wouldn't change anything.  The infrastructure has always been a problem and in fact there have been student mobilizations in this regard, since all the ceilings of the art faculty are built with a material that causes cancer and which is also illegal to use now. So I would definitely change the rector, who promised to change the roofs and has done nothing about it in two years.  If we talk about te...
