I dropped out of VCU in 2016 after three semesters of failing most of my gen eds, never declaring a major, getting wasted and waking up in punk houses
I just submitted a portfolio to Pratt and I’m feeling a lot of complicated feelings but mostly I’m very nervous. I never thought I would go back to school, especially not art school. Hoping to make adolescent Griffin proud
Just make a decision and do the thing

I went back to school in 2020 to persue a career in a field I’ve wanted to be in for prob 2 decades. I went to college right out of high school but it didn’t work for me at that time, I got terrible grades and gave up despite being a high achieving straight A student before.
I just finished my program and graduated in May and started a new job at a big name firm and to say I’m a little spooked is accurate. Not finishing my degree all those years ago was a source of shame for me and I’m finding myself putting a lot of pressure on myself because the accomplishment is so personally significant.
The learning curve of a new job is always steep and feels like you’re flailing a bit, and I can only believe that new career will be that same feeling, amplified. Trying to feel confident, trust that I am in fact capable, and not like I’m about to be found out. 🫠
Go for it! The scary parts are required! Personal growing pains mean you're trying and expanding.

I was supposed to graduate in 2021, but I was having a *horrible* time for a multitude of reasons. I finally made the call around April to quit for the year and try again in the fall. At the time I felt like a total failure, but now I’m so happy I did that!!! I got to have my studio in-person because restrictions had lifted, I used the extra mental bandwidth to do some soul-searching and find myself, and I ended up with a project that I was passionate about and put my whole heart into! Truly one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself
