Men are terrible drivers.

Get those dumb stereotypes out of here, statistics prove men get into way more accidents than women.

But no, men have to be superior in every way just like always.

(lil rant, been watching a few shows with idiots who think one gender is better than the other)

I agree with artists being underpaid. I'm in Graphic Design and my teachers warned me about people not wanting to pay prices cause "it's just drawings" without realizing how much effort and thought goes into a design. I know Graphic Design and Art are two different things but they are similar.

I'm a graphic designer too! And an artist at the same time lol. Luckily, so far my design gigs have been great -- good pay, and I feel respected. If that helps you feel any better ^^; it's true that a lot of ppl will try to underpay you, but there's quite a few people willing to pay a good price too.

Most frustrating part though: while I was still getting my degree, people would ask me what I'm going into, then ask if I have a "backup plan". It's like, LOL sure, they act like they're the first person to break to me that art is a ~bad career~ where you ~make no money~ but the joke's on them, because I'm doing what I love and getting currency B)
 
I feel bad of stereotypes because in Science yesterday our teacher asked us who do you think is smarter boys or girls? And made us answer 10 questions and find out the average for each gender of the class, and out of 6 periods only 1 period did girls get higher but I bet you if I was against any boy in my class I would have the higher score -.-

Then he was like: "It seems boys are more interested in Science."

Boi please, stereotypical much?

Then he said girls are better than boys in Lang. Arts

This is so nice to hear! Thank you for telling me this! ;w; I'm in my last year so I'm a bit nervous with getting a full time gig. I'm glad you can do it for a living cause tbh I have gotten nothing but the same comments from my mother about having a back up plan. ^^;

ugh i hate those kinds of stereotypes. gender doesn't affect intellect at all and i don't know why so many people think it does.
 
Gender roles and stereotypes need to be erased. I know that isn't an unpopular opinion on here but my mom basically told my boyfriend that buying me gifts is "what boyfriends are good for." My boyfriend awkwardly chuckled to be polite but I chewed her out for that comment. Such a sexist gold digger comment. I couldn't believe it.

I had to start out interning/volunteering somewhere, but it turned into a longterm paid gig! I'm looking for something fulltime right now, as the gig ends soon, but I've had a really good time as a designer so far. Though as a recent grad, it's a bit hard to find fulltime. Not many people want to hire fulltime right now for some reason. My best advice is to ignore when it says "minimum 5 years experience" because it's almost always a bluff. And start building a portfolio as well.

There's also a few freelance sites where people come to look for logos, posters, illustrations, etc. -- and you can work on those commissions from home in your pajamas. The Best. They can supplement your regular work.

As for the comments -- I know where you're coming from. I was upset at first at my peers saying this stuff to me, but you gotta realize it's your life. Live it for you, not for the people telling you what they think you should do... Even if it comes from someone you love.

And if you have to take on a job that isn't design-based and do freelance on the side? That's ok too. You do what you have to, and what's best for you. Don't let anyone try to give you crud for that either.

Ahhhhh, it's so nice to find another designer ^_^

I'm not into movies.
I'm don't like Facebook.
I don't think modern technology is the devil who's only attacking teens.
Facebook moms are more annoying than teens communicating with their friends across the world will ever be.
I don't think extremists represent their group.
 
For all those iTunes reviewers, can you wait until the album is officially out? Or at least more than one song? :/

Mine...

1. I do not particularly enjoy watching TV. I am only watching one series ATM, The Whispers.
2. I don't really like short shorts, and I'm a teen girl.
3. I don't see the need to be on my phone 24/7 like a lot of teens, I only go on it if I need to.
4. I don't have social medias, I feel like they are just a place to grandstand yourself and talk behind other's backs.
5. I believe it is a waste of time to have a boyfriend in high school, you'll just break up and who knows if he's going to college?

Little rant about modern days XD LOL

Lol, I agree with everything, except I don't watch any tv series, only movies. I also have two social media accounts, both a Twitter and a Google+. Twitter I use to check the news (I follow news channels since I don't watch tv) and Google+ is just reserved for my animal crossing stuff (still didn't add back any of my friends, lol)

In fact, I only recently started gaming again, and using my iPad (no phone) to check Bell Tree. I've been on a
LONG hiatus. :p
 
I really don't understand why they are so many genders. I even see genders that are just personalities.
Hillary is just as bad as Trump

Eh, I can see why there are but people being really defensive and sneery if you don't know all 256 is the more annoying part. And people taking it unseriously with all the "gender: furry apache helicopter" things going on.

And yeah already been said I don't see the need of glueing your nose to your phone with all those social media. Like yeah I have Discord and Steam to chat with my internet peeps but I don't sit there 24*7 nor check it when I'm with other people and stuff.
 
I think I have some more....


- I don't like cake at all. I can't remember the last time I had any but it would have been a few years ago now. Any kind of cake. It's just too sweet for me.
- New year really doesn't interest me. People get all excited for it and go out drinking and I'm just sat there with my dogs at home, no interest in New Years celebrations at all.
- I voted to leave the EU (seems that everybody I know is claiming that they voted in when I know some will have never even voted at all).
- I support bringing in harsher punishments in schools. Not talking about the cane or anything but teachers need to be given more back up and options when in difficult situations.
- I don't really like watching soaps. I might watch one when there's nothing else on but I'm not into them like some people are
- I believe in quite a few conspiracy theories. I have a tin foil hat somewhere.

EVERYTHING THAT IS VANILLA OR VANILLA FLAVOURED TASTES REALLY BAD

IM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS AT THE CURRENT MOMENT
 
I don't think disliking/hating makeup is very unique or special and am not a fan of the girls/guys that go on people's pages to tell them they shouldn't wear it.

I also think 'fall scents' aren't that good, usually way too over the top for me.

I don't really like Star Wars and I get irritated when people make a big deal about it. Same with Harry Potter.

Well, yeah it's terribly overrated. I can appreciate the old films for what they are but it's not I'm overly eager about the whole thing.

Harry Potter is alright, haven't read/watched the series in ages but yeah I'm not a diehard fan.
