i hate the fact....

i hate the fact i am leaving this school. its always been hard for me to find a place where i feel comfortable and fit in, and the students i have met so far have made me feel so welcome. i have loved all my teachers and actually enjoyed attending my classes. i dont want to go. for me this is the school i have always dreamed of going. it has everything i love doing, but sadly it was not meant to be. i had a realization a few months ago, that even though i loved art i loved creating it more because it was not a job and in todays world money is needed. and i know that if i go into graphic design, game design i will begin to hate what i love doing as a way to calm myself. thankfully it is a happy ending. i decided to go into another passion of mine that i could never see myself hating because i do not use it as a form of relaxation or relief: criminolgy. i want to go into some field of law where i can either study the mind of criminals, people, talk to people and help them (there is not one person who thinks i should be anything else but a psychiatrist or-ologist). maybe a social worker, work with mentally disabled children, etc... even though columbia has been amazing and i would do anything to make it into the school i need to go to, to become a criminologist, i have to go. the people were amazing and the teachers were great. i really am for the first time going to miss someplace, and it's a weird experience.

  1. It's cool that you discovered what you wanna do in life, and that you don't want to destroy your love in creating art.

  2. i'm happy you've found that you love something too much to destroy it, and at the same time i'm sad you're leaving a place you truly love. that's got to be a hard decision.

  3. It is very difficult deciding whether or not it is worth compromising your passion. It is better to follow your instincts.

  4. I know of more people that are leaving columbia than staying or coming here.
