5 Year Plan

2022: I am a year out of college with plans of going to grad school for art therapy. After graduating in 2020, I took a year off to help out my dad...mostly helping take care of my little sister, Gemma. She'll be 10 years old. Because I want to go into art therapy, I want to start with a job in Penn State's Children Hospital in Hershey to get comfortable with the environment I want to be working in and to save up enough money for grad school.

I'll be 24 and still breathing. Depression isn't as hard on me. Neither is Liz's death; I tell Gemma stories about her mom and it's a happy moment instead of sad. By this point I want to be in a stable relationship but not married. Children are the furthest thing from my mind. I have my sister and brother to take care of. Hopefully I still talk to Sophia and Jess. Maybe by this point I will have convinced Sophia to move away from her family in order to heal and she's living with my close to my dad's house.

I also own 7 rats by this point in my life.

"Spectacle" Response

The "Spectacle" is an occurrence that's absurdity renders onlookers from acting out against it. Trump's presidency is a spectacle itself. He continuously acts out yet despite the spectators protests, the absurdity of the spectacle allows himself to continue to act as he pleases. The spectators try to push against the spectacle to return life to normal, but the nature of the spectacle keeps the spectators from interfering.

"Font" and "How to Ruin a Great Design" Response

Fonts impact the way the viewer interprets an article, sign, poster, etc., but also aids the message trying to be created by the designer. Each font has a certain characteristic and unlike what we did as children, designers cannot just pick a font at random. It's like turning in a college essay in Comic Sans rather than Times New Roman. The paper goes from college level to "how did this student even get accepted here?".

"Everybody is Altered" Response

It is understandable to retouch starlets in movies; I see no problem with this, but celebrities shouldn't lie to the public. It's okay to edit away the flaws for a huge movie, because the actors are playing a part. When celebrities hide their touch ups it means that they want the public to believe that that is how they look on an everyday basis. People look up to celebrities and it isn't fair to tell to strive to look like someone who has been extremely retouched.
