I Miss College...Well Sorta.



I will preface this post, as a definite rant. But after seeing this project it made me miss being able to be just that good. Not that I've lost my touch...never that...but as another holiday came and went, I realize how much I miss being in school. In college, I would KNOW when a holiday was coming because it was a chance to come up for air after being buried under paper samples and pantone swatches (this is cool). Now, holiday's breeze by, sprinkled in between work days, and time just seems to blur by. For some reason, this isn't as fun. When it comes to work, I miss being able to get lost in a concept or an idea, so much so, that you forget to call your friends or eat, or even sleep...For some reason, I liked this. That you're buried so much in this "grand" idea you can hardly wait to get it done. I miss the critiques, where you had to pick your work up off the floor because you're professor ripped it off the wall (no, really)..and you realize your idea wasn't really that great. I miss the two hour brainstorming sessions that you had when you were creating the "best" work of your life, not just getting it done. Not that I'm a masochist or something, I just miss being that involved, everything happens so quick now. So as time flies by, I wonder, is this how fast it's gonna go by? Or will there be the chance again to get lost in it? Just wondering.
