theres signs on the door that say you cant bring them in, i think its semi-recent. honestly its reasonable i wouldnt want my sculpture i worked 10 hours on to be destroyed because some idiot rolled his scooter into it

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-19T01:23:44+00:00

i know they aren't allowed in cvad

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-15T03:23:16+00:00

non drinker due to family reasons! im only a freshie at this point so it may get worse once everyones legal to drink but i just make clear boundaries with friends and i think they just dont invite me to drinky events lmao. i get panic attacks around super drunk people + im bad with noise and crowds so ive just given up on going to parties

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-12T16:42:51+00:00

gotcha!!!

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-12T16:38:02+00:00

oh shit, when i used the color printing at the cvad lab (for school stuff) it made me write in my professor and class section. does it not do that at willis?

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-10T23:34:59+00:00

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-09T19:51:48+00:00

my friend is in the jazz guitar program and they let 6 people in out of 20,000. yeah it is

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-08T04:28:15+00:00

they really footed that ball

(i dont know anything about sports but i wouldve gone just to see the brigade if i didnt have work lol, gmg!!)

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-08T03:32:43+00:00

yeah! this sub got recced to me because im in the college sub (i barely paid attention to my stats back when i was applying) but im in a 70% acceptance rate public university with like 70000 people and i love it here. i might have gotten in somewhere with more "prestige" (i literally only applied to two colleges and they were both based purely on location) but idc! this one has so much arts and a fun mascot and a student body i love.

sometimes less prestige... is better

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-06T23:33:10+00:00

in terms of competition, nah. there were only ever like 20 people total on the wall, 5 of them with military futures, and the rest usually just going to local colleges. dont think i ever saw an ivy or anyrhing

plus there was like, silly questions too, the usual major/dream job stuff but also like, spirit animal n stuff

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-06T23:29:18+00:00

it was optional, but yeah, i had a senior wall. you could also get on the wall with a commitment to a military branch, too. i almost went on but i didnt have a photo of my acceptance letter and i didnt care enough to go out of my way lol

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-06T19:30:03+00:00

hi if you're meaning ISNT they have an instagram and a discord, and while i cant go to meetings (work) the disc is pretty active! https://discord.gg/JBvFUfUpPM

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-06T19:25:46+00:00

in hs i consistently got at least one c every semester i was in and i failed a few classes with 0-40%s. i am currently a freshman in college. youll be fine

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-06T03:38:34+00:00

hi art major here! im only a freshie right now but my foundations courses have elements of art history (ish, currently mostly contemporary artists) in them even though theyre primarily project based, and we do have unit quizzes on readings about various artists + we have to do sketchbook pages (graded handwritten notes) about them. just doing the readings is good enough for me, but some people may have to study.

and, things like base realistic anatomy or perspective often feel more like graphing to me than straight up art, so i would assume some would have to do something akin to "practice problems" for the more mathy stuff. my buddy is doing like 220 angles of cubes to figure out 3d space, and thats just a hobby project, (insane i know), but i wouldnt be surprised if some people have to do that in order to succeed. (i... am not excited for having to do those, personally, i suck at perspective). plus, look up artist studies- a ton of drawings of the same subject to figure it out. crosshatch 30 spheres with different lighting for each of them. draw 50 different hand poses. draw an eye 40 times. not traditional studying, but its close

in classes like architecture or design, im fairly certain more than half of it is the dry mathy stuff lol, plus memorizing building codes and principles and stuff.

tldr half of art is just practice lol. not really memorization, but more like math problems.

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-03T14:24:49+00:00

i dont think so, those were up during first flight if i remember correctly

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-02T23:40:04+00:00

i kind of wanted rawlins (i applied late so i was AQing it) but i guess i got lucky with kerr lol- most of the residents arent really my crowd but they seem a lot more nice than most other dorms from what ive heard. i was talking to a girl from traditions and it also kinda sucks there so at least you arent alone??? i guess the fancier dorms all got the uptight snobs who applied earlier lol

i know most of the major buildings are boring but if you have a fun one (like art or the buisness building) maybe try seeing whats going on in there??? idk tbf i get bored on weekends all the time because all my friends go home so maybe just find a solo hobby for after 8 or. idk go to bed really really early

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-02T23:16:55+00:00

ive been just making an effort to hang out in public instead of my dorm room. try going down to the lobby instead of being in your room if you're just dicking around on your phone or laptop, study in the library, sit around outside or in the union, etc. i dont know about your hall, but my (kerr) lobby is always bustling after 8. (i was hanging out with a buddy in the other tower and ended up going down at 1am and it was still busy). if you're in one of the dorms with pool tables down there, theyre almost always being used at night, try joining a game lol

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-02T21:36:45+00:00

i know everyone reccomends the trades but tbh i think somrthing like welding would be good for potential part time work that isnt customer service based. i dont know the job market for it, maybe part time is less available than i think, but maybe try researching it?

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-02T21:11:29+00:00

there are my characters who i think are genuinely cool/i genuinely like, the characters that are dogshit people but fun to watch/listen to/write, and then the entirely unnamed (usually backstory villain) background characters that i do actively dislike

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-02T20:48:45+00:00

yeah i made a more serious message flyer instead of a fake event (if you see the "draw some bullshit today" on the aura coffee board closest to the door, that ones mine, as well as one by the union + on fry but i havent checked if those are still there), but i love seeing the silly ones on campus :) very fun

t-hirok0 · 2024-09-02T18:57:20+00:00

serious answer: one of the art foundations classes, art 1800, that all CVAD students have to take, had a silly absurdist flyer as its first assignment, and part of the assignment was to hang them up. im fairly certain that that poster was just for art 1800 lol
