The university of arts is a collage that focus on art. I really enjoy art, even though I'm really not very good. I'd love to get into this university because I think that it could help me improve my art and animation skills, as well as helping me learn a few tips about being an artist in general. There have been lots of interests that have come and gone, but I've been sticking with art for a long time. I feel like it's the only thing I'm kinda good at. Art is the only thing I'm actually passionate about and I really wanna follow my dreams.

When I was younger, I was so sure of what I wanted to be. I've always wanted to be a marine biologist. Underwater life has always been very interesting to me, and I was inspired to help animals. I believed it was something I was meant to be. But up until now, not anymore. Now, I'm interested in becoming an artist. I know I'm...okay at art. I mean, I'm not that bad, but I'm definitely not the best. I think that there's no such thing as a bad artist. If art is something you love, then you will keep trying at it until you get it right. I always try my best at art, and I try to put love and passion into my work. I feel like I'm not good enough to become an artist, like as in a career. No matter how hard I try, no matter how much effort I put into my work, there's always gonna be someone better than me. I feel like if I would have tried harder when I was younger, I could have been so much better. One other thing that I'd like to happen in the future is to get a pet. I already have a cat but she'll probably be dead when I grow up. I'm not sure what pet I'd like to get, maybe a cat or a dog. What I do know is that I want to adopt a senior pet because they get put down if they don't get adopted. I know that they probably are gonna die but that's fine because they probably wanted to die, plus I can just give their stuff to the next pet. That's all I have planned for now, I'm sure that I'll have everything sorted out later on.

I know that this writing project is suppose to be about the things that we're interested in, but I think that fears are less scary if you talk about them. Honestly, just writing down what you're feeling can really help you put things into perspective. I'm terrified of some really stupid stuff and I'm ashamed that I'm so scared so easily. First thing that I'm afraid of is being looked at for too long. I really hate presenting because then everyone's looking at you, and a picture is basically just a captured memory of your face. I feel like when people look at me for so long they're judging me. I try to draw the least amount of attention to myself by staying quiet and wearing dark clothes. I really don't know why anyone would want to look at me, and people probably aren't even looking at me half the time, I probably just think that they are. Another thing that scares me is being alone. I've kind of gotten used to being alone. Whenever people talk to me, it really makes me uncomfortable. I don't know what to say, and if I say the wrong thing they probably won't like me. So I guess that I kind of isolate myself. I'm scared that I'm probably gonna be alone all my life. But honestly, I wouldn't mind. I'm already used to it. It's kinda like I've numbed the pain. One other thing that scares me is talking. I'm really uncomfortable with my voice. My parents tell me not to worry and that I won't be stuck with this voice forever, but as of now, this is my voice. A lot of people have made fun of my voice, which is another reason why I prefer writing instead of talking. It's weird. All of the other girls my age have really nice, sweet voices, while I'm just stuck with this waste of speech for a voice. I think this started when I was 10, people whom I considered "Friends" told me to shut the..."frick" up because my voice made their ears bleed. Ever since then, I've always tried to remain quiet. I know that probably sounds really dumb.

Music was always something I was passionate about. I've always really enjoyed it, and hearing people express their feelings and passion into music was always such a wonderful and inspiring thing. Music can make you feel a certain way, and it can deeply effect you. I know because when I was 11 I was OBSESSED with a band called Twenty-one pilots. 6th grade was not the easiest time for me. I was struggling with my grades, I had no friends, and I had just started going to another school, and I was always kinda sad. I don't know, something about everything happening all of a sudden felt like life was moving way to fast for me. Something that I guess helped me was twenty-one pilots. People told me I didn't know what pain meant. That I didn't understand sadness because I was just a kid. But I felt like twenty-one pilot's music offered something that sounded happy, but the lyrics told a story of sadness, broken hearts and shattered dreams. I was like "Wow that sound like me because I'm super 3dgy" I was probably just being really overdramatic, (or at least that's what people tell me) or I just thought that I was just the edgiest kid out there. Either way I felt like their music was like a bandage over my shattered heart. I loved them because I felt like they could relate to me, like the friend I never had. People thought I was this really weird edgy fangirl that only listened to them because the boys where cute, but twenty-one pilots' music means a lot to me, and well, it still does.

People usually talk about their inspirations when they have a career, working in the same job field as their inspirations. Me, being the young failure I am, decided that this is a good topic for me. One of my biggest inspirations in art is Synnibear03, or scootaloo loves sans. She's only 14 years old and hOLY HECK SHE HAS AMAZING ART. She's my biggest inspiration because she's so young  yet so talented.  Plus, she can animate and she draws on really simple programs. I learned a lot from watching her videos and watching her speedpaints. She draws on the same progam I do, GIMP. GIMP is a really complicated program. I tried to read the instructions but they were 5,496 pages long. I'm not not even kidding. But as I watched her videos, I picked up a few things, like how to shade drawings and how to select pixels.  Overall, I think she's an amazing artist and I strive to be like her.

People constantly tell me "You don't need great software, you just need a great artist." I don't really know how true this is, but I really don't agree. I'm technically a beginner at digital art and yes, you can create amazing art with simple programs, however that requires lots of practice and hard work. For beginners I think it would be best to use a program that's easy to navigate and also has features that allows you to use the best of your abilities. One drawing software I'd really want to get is adobe Photoshop. Now, I know this probably sounds weird because well, it's a photoshoping program. But the thing is that using image manipulating programs can let you create some really cool art. I personally am currently using a image manipulation program called "GIMP" I just got it and it works well so far, however it took a while to get the hang of because of it's complex features, plus even when I increase the image my art is still quite pixilated. This is another reason I'd really like to get adobe Photoshop. However GIMP has helped me create some really trashy art that I'm kinda proud of, and I'm sure that with time and practice, I could improve. However, I believe that it's a good idea to experiment with drawing software and see which one works best for you

I know this will never happen, but I'd really like to become an internet artist. My parents won't let me have ANY social media, period. I really would love to be able to get my work out there and to get some constructive criticism. I could also possibly be able to get into contact with other artists, whom may be able to give me a few tips and suggest a few things to do with my art. I also think that it would be really fun and might be able to make some friends (Because I literally cannot interact with any other human in real life.) It's my dream to become an internet artist, but since I know that that will never happen, I probably should just give up on that dream. However, I often find myself fantasizing about what it would be like, and how wonderfully amazing it could be. Also I want to like my own posts. Another one of my hopes/dreams was to be an author. I kind of enjoy writing, and it was something I was praised for when I was younger. I definitely am not the best writer, but I'm a pretty emotional person, so I try to convey my emotions into my works. However, I do think that I am better at writing than speaking. Like, just typing at your own pace and carefully thinking about what you're going to say is way better than seeing someone or hearing someone say something then expecting an immediate answer. For me personally, writing and drawing kind of went hand and hand. I would love to create stories then draw out all of the little characters. Seeing a story come to life always made every second of work worth it. I kind of also wanted to be an author, as well as a marieen biologist. Because those two are basically the same profession. I guess that I realize now that my writing probably isn't good enough to publish a book. I'm not sure why anyone would buy a book made by me. The last thing I've always wanted to do is I wanted to help rescue animals. I always wanted to help animals...by donating for others to rescue them. I've seen those PSAs, I know it's not as easy as going to an old shed and picking up an animal. Some of the things that you can see can be horrific, and you never know if you'll get there in time. But when I was about in 2nd grade, I had decided that I had to at least try to help save animals. I was at this pet store because there was an adoption going on and even though my parents knew they weren't gonna buy us a pet we still went. This one lady told my parents that she found a bunch of newborn dying kittens in the trash and she said to please adopt one of them. So we did. It was really sad to see those kittens in the trash can, and ever since then I've wanted to help animals. Until my cat died. Then I was kind of done with pets. I just want to stick to making my monthly donations and pray that those pets find loving homes that every pet deserves
