Upon Becoming a Junior...

    I guess there is some unwritten law that says, kids don't have to know what they want to do with their life until their a Junior and then they have to know immediately. I don't know what kind of answer people are expecting me to pull out of my butt on the spot, but suddenly the all-important question is "So... where are you going to go to college?"     
   Maybe there's a College Fairy that flies around and puts college brochures under your pillow once your 16, but apparently I missed the boat. 
    Here are some responses I've come up with. 1. "Well I hear the Marines are looking to recruit." (Nah, too boring) 2. "The satanic school of Lucifer is offering really good scholarships, so that's a definite possibility." 3. Improv - I'm thinking this is going to be the winner.
     Well thanks to the rest of the world trying to force adulthood on me, I have been thinking about college and if everyone is really so concerned they can check out the links I've posted below.


-The following three are rather local colleges 
I could go to for my freshman year:
(This is where I'm currently taking classes and 
will probably spend my freshman year of college.)

(Art school in Columbus)



-I plan on moving out of state as soon as possible, and this college has really caught my eye. Hopefully I will be visiting over spring break:

(Harrisonburg, VA)


    Well yes, right now that is where my head is at. For now I'm thinking major in art, maybe double major in art and psychology. We'll see. I really don't mind so much that everyone is asking, I just wish someone could have warned me that everyone would be expecting my life plan this year.

First Day

    Well, seeing as this is my first post, I'm sure it will be highly uninteresting. 
I'll get in to aspects of my life on a deeper level in following posts, but for today I'll give you some basics.
    My name is Lauren, I'm sixteen, and art is my passion. The blog title might mislead you to believe that this blog is solely about art... that is false, while it will contain a large amount of art, it will mainly be about me and my life. 
    Some classic artists I really love are M.C. Escher, Claude Monet, and Da Vinci, I realize they are very different but that also reflects my style, as I tend to do pieces that are very different from each other. I am trying to learn as much as I can, I just took a class through a university on art appreciation and I'm currently in independent study art at my high school.

    Obviously this first post was lame, but bear with me. 

Now I'm off to buy fabric paint for a project I'm working on. (I'll post pictures later)
