So, I try for the most part to avoid venting, but an art community seems like a decent place for this rant.

Don't get me wrong, this school is great. The professors are top-notch, the post-graduation job opportunities are incredible, the campus is beautiful. Everything is sane and down to earth.

Everything is too goddamn sane.

I might be an engineering major, but I come from a school with green haired people, crossdressers and people coming to school in costume without reason. There is one girl here with blue highlights, and the most interesting piece of clothing I've seen is a trenchcoat. The art department looks like my high school's math department.

I need a healthy dose of eccentricity in my life. The complete lack of it here is painful. Everyone plays a sport, everyone takes life to be absolutely serious (or they simply don't care). Nobody runs through the rain to get ice cream, nobody wants to be an artist. I've just been holding up inside my room because nobody knows how to be interesting here.

I am so entirely bored.

I want to transfer out.

Apologies for the rant. Featured artist to come as soon as I find one who screams out at me .
I'll be posting more fractals in the next few days, along with a... secret project ... I've been working on.
