...to be lectured that you are going nowhere in life =_=;;

(A lovely, nonsensically therapeutic rant to ensue)

Experiencing one of those lose-lose situations in which I get blamed for choosing the "wrong" career path, and then getting scolded that I'm too incompetent to be in the "right" one. What joy._. Regardless, it's the path I chose and I'm just going to have to deal with being "unsuccessful and homeless". And forget "you're not going to get a job", I'm more worried about completing/getting my damned degree, and that itself is one horrible obstacle already.

Being in a massive art/design block makes it all the worse (especially now). But wallowing around in depression isn't any better. I just have to get that motivation/ambition running. Somehow. Need to find more inspiration! Need to get crazyyyyy!!!

Don't worry about your employment avenues after getting your degree at this point. For now just focus all your creative abilities on completing your degree and graduating with as many accolades as possible.

Being Asian, you'll get the "you're going nowhere in life" lecture from anyone and everyone and it'll obviously serve to do nothing more than demotivate you, which for some reason they can't understand is entirely counter-productive. They'll never be satisfied unless you're a doctor/engineer/accountant, they holy trinity of god awful jobs. Just be content with your decision and have more faith in yourself and your abilities and you'll do just fine~ ^^

We all believe in your abilities and talents and you're constantly improving them and impressing us more and more. We're all here for you should you need us~ :)

much luffshness ;x;

yeah, it is the whole asian discouragement = encouragement tactic, which is just bs. and also experiencing ocad's "there's nothing out there for you, why are you even here?" statements, that are salting the wounds =_=;;

though for sure, i don't regret my path in field (i honestly can't see myself doing anything else. well, mebbe soc/psy/phil. but that's another story, haha). it's just obstacles that have to be overcome and having my mind back on track!

but again, much thanks ~_~ as i've been warning most of you peeps, please do not mind me for the duration of now 'til end of april if i act weirder/more annoying than usual xD;;

It's fine, we'll be your outlet to vent your frustrations and such~ ^^

And that whole "there's nothing out there for you, why are you even here?" speech is given in most programs of study as well actually. It's not an easy thing for sure to jump straight out of your degree in to your dream job/career, it takes time and commitment. Both of which I'm certain you have. :)

as murderous as school is, yes, it is actually somewhat comforting as opposed to 'the real world' x.x although i will most likely do more schooling (at least learning something -practical-) after this xD;;
