4/22
I always thought my 18th birthday would never come. But it will..tomorrow. and i havent stop crying since last night. I dont want to grow up just yet….
4/21 this was from a conversion i had this morning with a friend of mine.
for a long time. I have been trying to identify my conflicted feeling about my plans after high school. for awhile now I have felt so conflicted that, its to the point where I wanted to drop everything. everything, meaning. Attending the Art Institute.
Finally. I believe this is the true reason why I have been so conflicted lately.
“yes , im already accepted. im just conflicted because …well i think the reason why i feel so conflicted is that, i feel like i should be going to SDSU or UCSD, all these normal universities, and dont get me wrong i love the art institute its just hard bc since im chinese the school you choose is a big deal. and idk i feel like im letting my mom down by going to the art institute. like, i mean, it isnt like im going to just any art school to become an artist. im going to the art institute to become an editor for a big shot business. but whenever i mention the art institute to a family relative of the chinese descendant its like it isnt good enough. is it wrong of me to feel this way?”
