Well... I am done... I finished my 6th and final year of college. If someone would have told teenage me that I would eventually have a design degree, I would probably be confused. What's funny is that if you told an even younger version of myself that I'd become an artist, I would probably respond with a confident "I know." I think I ended up exactly where I was supposed to, it just took me a few major changes to realize what was there all along.
I have to submit sketches to blackboard today and have a final discussion on my independent study, but other than that I am prepared to walk on Saturday. It will be bittersweet to pack up my bench in the next few days.
I feel very blessed to have had the experiences and the memories I've had. We've been a bit nostalgic in the studio the last week... remembering silly moments like asking Iris to pick up a bag a chips from the store only for her to return with 3 huge bags because they were on sale. We all happily ate salt and vinegar chips that entire night. Or falling asleep in the SIAM room and being woken up by the Furniture guys yelling "RACHEL WAKE UP! WERE MAKING OATMEAL" These moments are just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many more that I will keep with me. We've all shared so much. Ideas, new findings, laughter, tears, and lots of food!!
Here's to a journey. May we continue to find joy in our day to day lives. Thank you for everything.
