Why didn’t we START with this reading? The irony of it being
my last reading and one of my last assignments of undergrad…
While I feel so incredibly fortunate for the education I
have received these past four and half years at Tyler, I definitely agree with
some of the things that made this list. This semester I’ve particularly
struggled with having a balanced life. I spent countless late nights in the
semester and when I wasn’t in the studio I was at work. I feel myself desperate
to be done with classes so that I can have a regular sleep schedule again. I
also feel like my personal life has suffered from not having free time to stay
connected with friends. While I am proud of all the things I’ve accomplished
this semester, balance really is important. My friends are a huge part of who I
am and what keeps me inspired. I’m hoping to find a better balance of work and
play post graduating. I don't want either to overtake the other.
Another part
of the list that makes me nervous entering the “real world,” are knowing how to
market myself and business practices in general. I’ve spent so much time in the
bubble of art school concerned with creating and pushing concepts that I have
no practice in business etiquette. I have no clue how to prepare for an
interview or go about finding photography jobs. I’m terrified that I will end
up not working in the field of photography.
Since I'm finishing school this week I guess I just have to hold on to hope that I actual know more than I think.....
