If you are an architecture student you’ve probably experienced:

- the taste of wood glue

- changes in your vocabulary: homework to project, ball to sphere, etc

- you don’t understand how somebody can spend less than $20 at the supplies store

- you hate people telling you “go to sleep” or “do you still have a lot of work?”

- your friends and you don’t have the same concept of work “oh, well do it right before class”

- you’ve slept more than 20 straight hours on weekends

- you can easily discuss with authority the effects of caffeine on different drinks

- no matter the effort you put in a project, somebody will always say ‘why don’t you add this’? or “why don’t you change this here? or “i think that…but…yeah, its ok”?

- you’ve heard all your ipod songs in a week

- you aren’t seen in public without bags under your eyes

- whenever you get invited somewhere, it is followed by or do you have a lot of homework?

- you’ll dance ymca with a choreography without a drop of alcohol in your system

- you write down a quick message with rapidographs, lead holders, markers and ink

- you constantly make up excuses for courses that are not design related why you didn’t do your work

- you have more pictures of landscapes and places than of people

- your worst nightmare consists of not finishing a project

- someone once called you lazy? and you wanted them murdered

- you can live without human contact, sunlight, food, but if your plotter’s ink runs out… chaos!!!

- when somebody lends you a Bic pen you look down at it

- you don’t care about sports cars, your favorite car is the one where you can put in your model and your huge computer

- you design spectacular things without the idea of the cost

- you have the modern mark: a blister in your palm’s hand for the constant use of your mouse

- everybody tells you how they admire your work, “but there is no money for it?

- you’ve gained the ability to sleep in whatever surface: pencils, keyboards, backpacks, your studio mates, food, etc

- you always have the idea that your project will always be recognized

- when you finally have free time to go out you keep thinking “who was the idiot that designed the restaurant’s bathroom? “who designed this menu? or “who designed this [chair, table, lighting, fork, etc]?

- you’ve been at many sunrises, yet you’ve never seen one

- you need to read all this in a facebook group to realize how weird your life is
