Hello How are you doing this wonderful afternoon
Hi! I'm good! Just finishing up some essays, how about you?
Nice, are they due tonight? Or later? I am just making some food
Haha tonight... are you done with finals? I need to do that too actually, I haven't really eaten today
Luckily I was able to finish on Monday, its a good feeling to be done Haha I do that some days Itll get to 11 or so at night and my roommate will say goodnight and I will realize I hadnt eaten
That's super nice! I was actually done on monday too, these essays are just extra credit... which I kind of need Hahaha yep same! It's kind of bad, I just forget
oh nice for what class? So what kinds of things do you like to do?
My Art History class... it's the worst
That doesnt sound like thye will be fun essays
Well I love sports, longboarding, rockclimbing pretty much anything outside, I also love drawing:) what about you? Haha nope, they are pretty terrible
Nice, I like being outside: Hiking, watersports, photography, frisbee and then inside I like dancing and art
That's awesome! What kind of dance? and art?
I like country swing for fun with friends, and then ballroom And I do a lot of photography, graphite and charcoal sketching
Sweet! I love swing dancing, but I actually really don't like country music... haha, but I love hip hop dancing Wait, that's way cool! So my major is actually Illustration, so I do quite a bit of art
Thats funny, that must be an interesting combination for you then, I have never tried hip hop Thats way cool! How far along into illustration are you
Haha yeah... it's a little weird. Oh I love hip hop, it's my absolute favorite, I wish I was better at it I think I just finished my 4th semester in it
Congratulations Thats awesome what kind of style do you do in illustration?
Haha thanks Um so recently I've been really into character design. I also really love doing portraits and coming up with caricatures
Do you do both caricatures and realistic portraits? What has inspired you recently to do character design?
Yeah I do:) Um I'm not sure, I've just really admired the challenge of making a character look good. It's a lot harder to do than I thought Plus I love thinking about the backgrounds of the characters I come up with, it helps to tell the story of that character
haha that is way cool, I see art sometimes that inspires me and I think that I can  do something like it, but it never turns out as well
Haha same, all the people in my program are seriously talented... sometimes it's a little depressing
I totally get that too Whats the best way you have found to keep going and keep trying when you feel discouraged and not want to make anything else
That's a great question... I'm not totally sure. Actually the people around me who aren't in the program, help me a lot haha They always build my confidence up and make me feel better about my work
Awh, they sound like they are great people
I also have to remind myself that they might be better in certain things that I don't necessarily practice And yes, they are:) Also what are you studying?
Thats awesome, thanks for sharing. I am always curious what other people do I am studying industrial design
Haha of course, thanks for being interested:) you said you do art too?
Yep!
Oh that's way cool! Do you have to apply for tha? What kind of art do you like to do?
Yeah, there is an application for the pre program, and one for professional program after you get in So all the applications I like portrait in all the mediums. My favorite is in photography, next with charcoal
Oh wow! So are you in the program? Nice!! I would love to learn photography better
I am applying for next fall, I missed this last one because I wasnt home and winter was my first semester I am way excited to start
Gotcha, ok well that's way cool! Good luck with that! Is it a long program?
Its four years total I have a friend in it now and I love  seeing the things he does
Ok, and you said this was your first semester? That's so cool!!
Yep, I am just getting started
Awesome! How do you like it so far?
College is pretty good, im not too great at the social part. But I got the academics down :)
Haha well that's good. I'm kind of opposite, I maybe sometimes spend too much time in the social part of my life:)
Its always a hit or miss for me, I came not knowing anyone this time. But next fall I have a handful of friends who should be here or near here so we will see how things c change hopefully nothing too drastic haha
Well that always helps! I came to BYU my freshman year not knowing anyone either. The social part is by far the best part of college, I think.
Nice, I am sure it will get better
For sure! Hey it was super great talking to you! But I actually need to get going! Good luck applying to your program!!!
Okay Have a great day!
Thanks! You too!
