Hello! I hope that everyone had a good break and was able to eat some good food, or buy something at a great deal! We are getting closer and closer to the end of the semester and it's somewhat scary to me honestly. Everything went by so fast and it went much smoother than I anticipated! I'm very excited about my capstone project and I feel like things are going in a good direction! I hope my classmates are also doing well with their thesis or capstones too.
I will admit, I never thought I'd get here. When I graduated high school in 2017, I never expected to really get very far or feel successful. I had a half assed plan to go to community college, get an art degree and then flounder about afterwards. But here I am, a Museum Studies major working on my capstone project. Another thing I never expected was to actually make friends. By nature, I'm extremely introverted and have severe social anxiety which is partially under control thanks to medication. I hadn't really had "friends" since about middle school and in community college did not manage to make any friends. When I first came to RIT as an Illustration major I didn't make friends either. Honestly, it looked like Museum Studies was going to be the same at first but I finally feel like I do have friends within the major that I enjoy talking to. It's been awhile since I've actually hung out with people. All I can say is I am very grateful for the Museum Studies program and all the wonderful professors I've had along the way. I don't know if this was too personal but I felt as if it needed to be said.
Anyway, I started writing this as a distraction from my other assignments but I do enjoy writing here and reading other classmates' posts. Hope everyone has a lovely day.
