TIME
Time. Time is precious and definitely Gold. Time is my friend, my enemy. Well, it's a love-hate relationship. Love it because I simply love what I'm doing. Hate it because my minor subjects are messing up with my already messed up life. Love it because I thought I get the time to chill out and relax and Hate it because I wasn't able to notice that deadline is already a week away and haven't touched my design plate.
CRASH DIET
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EACH ARCHES WATERCOLOR PAPER COST? Well, it ONLY costs around php200-php400! (note the sarcasm, dear) and we are required to submit 2-3 interior perspectives each plate. HAHA guess I'll eat air for the next few days.
BROWN AND WHITE
That moment when you ran out of "brown/white" from your Prang watercolor set. Well, you have three options to choose from.
1. Buy another set (which could result you to eat air for lunch.again.for the next three days)
2. Buy Brown/White poster paint
3. Pray your friend will lend you some. Sharing is loving.

SLEEP
We lack sleep because of the following:
1. Procrastination. It is when you try balancing plates with love life, social life, sleep and self time. Ha goodluck.
2. Complicated design problem. Choosing a complex design concept for your plate when you only have a week left
3. You've got sideline projects
4. Minor subjects
And the list goes on.
INTIMIDATED
We're usually intimidated by professionals and experts. It's normal, I guess. Intimidation could drive you far than you could if you just keep on looking on the brighter side.Don't let it get through you. Remember, they were once students too. They were once intimidated but now look where it got them.
SIDELINE PROJECTS
Start building your connections. Practice while you're still a student. If you are not going to start now, when? If you are not ready to face the real world now, when? Establish your name as young as you are today. "Master the art. Practice the art. Develop the art. That’s what people will pay you for."
MISTAKES
Mistakes. They're always there. You can't escape them. But even so, they have the power to turn you to someone better than you were before. Embrace failures. They are part of you. They are part of what makes you who you are now. Accept them. It will lead you to a new learning experience.
