College, my future D:
Is it normal to go to college and take Computer Animation or Game Design and say to those people..."I don't know how to draw?"
I don't think so.
I'm scared. I don't think I can do this. I really want to design video games, but I can't if I'm not artisitc, creative, etc. It is my passion though, I want to do something involved with gaming, and, well, I do like to draw. I'm just not good at it. They say practice makes perfect but how am I supposed to keep drawing if I don't like what I draw or I can't exactly draw?
I'm only good with observational stuff...
But then again, I've never exactly drawn a person either. My friends wouldn't model for me, I take too long to draw something anyway.
So my college choices are as follows:
Full Sail
University of Advancing Technology
Art Institute of Atlanta
Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale
Art Institute of Pittsburgh
I'm actually torn between Full Sail and UAT. On one hand, Full Sail is very prestigious and teachers that have worked in the video game industry, but I think Computer Animation has to more with drawing and stuff. I could and would be 100% sure this would be my 1st choice, if I could draw well.
UAT has Game Art and Animation, which the the more artsy said and they have Game Art And Design which is how they apply those drawing to the computers and stuffs [I think.] All I know is that drawing isn't on the top of the list, so even if I can't draw that well, I think I can handle it. I don't know what I would do if I can't get into that Drawing and Painting 1 class...I could go for Drawing and Painting 2, but it could be challenging for one who can't draw well. I'm so stupid, I wish I had stuck with art after I did it in 8th grade. I need a portfolio, dammit.
This has been my dream, my passion since I was little. Sure, I thought of Photography, and I'm good with writing, but Video games has always been there, in the back of my mind. I grew up around games, I'm good at them, I LOVE them. I'm a geek. Hell, I would even love to become a professional gamer, and MLG pro, but the dream is way off and plus, you can't exactly go to a college to learn how to become a professional gamer. I would probably do that in the future or something. I would like to go to college to learn things and broaden my horizons, thank you very much. Being a professional gamer is risky, but I would do it, I know I'm better than the average girl. I've beaten guys too, of course.
Can you blame me for wanting to learn things?
I like being smart, what can I say, if I can even say that I'm anywhere near intelligent
...I hate the way college advisors talk to you. They talk to you as if you've been accepted already, and they send you all this stuff that gets you all excited. It gives me the wrong idea, but I know I'll know the truth, by the end of next year, when those letters start coming in, so I know not to keep my hopes up.
...Plus, and I know this shouldn't be a factor in choosing which college to go to
...Jason...
His 1st college choice is also Full Sail, and even though I don't know if we'll be together forever, it'll be nice to go to the same college.
I try to push that in the back of my mind. I promised that if we're still together we'd meet up after college, of course.
I'll wait forever for him...
