Hello!
how's it going?
It is going really one well* haha sorry How is your day going?
it's going well! just studying for my last few finals i have two tomorrow and one wednesday then i'm finished! how about yours?
Nice! I just finished one, then I have one more later today and I will be done
sweet! what is your major?
I packed them all in friday and saturday so that I can be done I am going into Industrial Design The program starts next Fall
is it a major that you have to apply for after pre-requisites?
It has a pre program  you apply for, then after you get in that, you can apply for the professional program So I cant take classes for it until I get into the program
what do people who don't get in the first time do?
You can apply again, or go try for a different majoy major*
do you think you have a good chance of getting in?
I hope so, i have always had a good eye for design and aesthetics My friend is in it now and he thinks I can do it
so what exactly is industrial design? like design of industrial products?
It can have a huge application range from clothing, to cars, to technology But its maintaining or increasing functionality, while improving aesthetics of products
that's cool! i have a friend who was doing industrial design but i never really asked him very much about it
Its way cool, I love following people on social media who do it. Their designs are fascinating
i've never had too much of an eye for aesthetics myself, especially in industrial-type things
I love it, I walk around and I will stop all the time because I see some design that catches my eye It might be in architecture or art or even nature
well i'm glad that difference people enjoy different things; that's what makes the world go around!
Definitely What inspires you? Just in general
classical music, and the intricacies of science! especially biology and human anatomy which i suppose is design in a manner of speaking
It could be! That is way cool So do you play any intstruments?
i took piano lessons for 10 years! unfortunately i don't get to practice much these days it's a good skill to have though; i'm glad i stuck with it how about you?
I learned the basics of piano in highschool but never really kept going I wish I had started sooner
yeah it's helpful to start early
I am impressed when people can play the piano really well, props to you for keeping up with it
it was my mom's doing when i was little so the props go to her haha
My sister did, but I never did
is she older or younger than you are?
She is older than me by a few years
i see does she still play much?
She hadnt for a while, but I think she is picking it up again little by little
just like riding a bike! so what's your favorite smell? as asked by the prompt
Hahaha I guess we can go back to that I like the smell of nail cleaner, and laundry A weird combo
like the two of them together, or separately?
Oh definitely separately
haha ok that makes a little more sense! nail cleaner does smell good initially, but it gives me a headache quickly kind of like gas when you're filling up your car
Hahaha I agree my mom hated that I liked those smells
laundry totally makes sense, though! i mean, they design the laundry detergent to smell good so if people didn't like the smell then they've basically failed at their job
That is true, I didnt think of it in an advertising sense. But yeah that is totally someones job
an industrial designer of smells i guess haha
Hahaha yeah What is a smell you despise?
yikes that's a tough one! let me think... skunk from close up is pretty bad from far away it's almost like pumpkin seeds, which is bizarre
Oh that is true, and its not very pleasant I cant stand smells of certain things because I know particles of that object are being inhaled into my lungs Like bad bathrooms I refuse to breathe
haha yeah i try not to think about that! i think it's weird that we have specific receptors built into our noses just for those smells
That is werid to think that there are specific functions and processes that help us perceive those smells thank goodness cookies and baking are on those lists
yeah those are definitely lifesavers! i really like the smell of citrus, like orange peels at my work, we have orange peel air freshener and it's my favorite to use
I love the smell of citrus, except if its on my hands I absolutely dont like that
i just don't like citrus smell on my hands because that generally means stickiness! i don't mind the smell itself though
Thats true, to me it has a different smell on my hands to coming right out of the fruit
well i need to run to a review! it was good talking to you, good luck on your last final!
