So I was thinking lately with all the grad show hype and portfolios , that we will be done soon! For me its going to be such a shock to be done school and actually work towards an actual career with what i’ve learned thus far.All the design majors are having a grad show coming up in april and I have to say im a little nervous.It will be the first time that I will be showing any of my work to the public and having the industry come in and judge every piece of our work really scares me.I probably shouldnt be scared but I guess its everything hitting me at once. Knowing that I will be done school and actually applying my skills to get a good job will be a change but it will be good and refreshing.I may be a bit nervous for the change, but I am so much more excited.School has been an interesting learning experience and journey, but im so ready to work my way up in the actual industry. Im thinking of traveling for a bit and applying for jobs in other countries such as Australia.I cant see this being a bad move and Im thinking I will give it a shot.It will also be a good chance for me to visit family and make some new friends so why not?!Its hard lately because with all the constructive criticism I have become very hard on myself with many of the projects that im working on.This may explain nervousness for the grad show,but I really hope to overcome this being to hard on myself attitude that has over come me and just relax and be confident in myself and my work for the upcoming year.
Anyways I know all of us are getting excited and a bit nervous for the workworld so good luck to everyone and dont give up if things dont always work out in the workworld.
