For me it feels very bittersweet because this year of uni (my 4th, I started in 2022) was the most enjoyable. School and education have always been part of my life and to know that I’m finishing that chapter now feels really odd. Like a small part of it hasn’t sunk in yet. Sometimes I feel bummed about having to work a 9-5 for 5 days a week, but oh well. I do feel a little anxious about not finding a job straight out the gate, though. Adulting is intimidating…

I think that everything will happen the way it’s supposed to and I try to hold on to that thought, but it’s really hard haha. But yeah! I remember graduating from high school and being so worried about where my future was headed and that I would spend my time feeling like the best years were behind me, but now that I’m graduating from college I’m so grateful for everything that I’ve experienced these past 4 years.

Just wondering how others felt regarding graduating from uni! Feel free to share please :)

I’ve been trying to build my children’s illustration portfolio with different things like single page illustrations, spreads, fake book covers (those are a work in progress right now), spot arts… and I know portfolios are never truly done but I was wondering at what point did you decide that it was ready to submit to like.. an illustration agency, for example. Cuz I’ve been interested in looking for rep for a while, but I know I still have to improve some things beforehand

I try my best to put on a brave face for her, help around the house, accept her new partner practically moving in with us. She’s unemployed, so I give her money. I do the groceries. I’m in university right now and I’m graduating soon, but I feel like nothing is ever good enough for her. She rags on me for the tiniest things, whether it’s me being quiet around her partner (not even ignoring him, just responding but not really engaging in active conversation). Any time her partner leaves and it’s just the two of us, she gets in a horrible mood that makes me feel like I’ve done something wrong. I do anything and she says “you should’ve done x or y instead”. I tell her about my day or my friends and she responds with disinterest or just critiques me for anything I do with my friends.

It’s exhausting and no matter how much I try to avoid it or stay out of the house for long, it’s something that’s wearing me down. I know a lot of people feel the same way regarding their family, but I’d truly love to reach a point where I don’t care about not being good enough for her.
