Right now, I finally have time to draw again because I’m close to finishing my master’s degree (I’m currently in the final stage of revising my thesis, and it’s almost done). But somehow, now that I actually have free time, my motivation to draw has completely disappeared. I still can’t come up with any ideas. Maybe it’s because I’ve been away from drawing for so long.
I still think about Faren, my 80s–90s wrestler OC, though. Every time I listen to “The Warrior” , he immediately comes to mind. But I haven’t really drawn anything new. The only thing I’ve done is quietly edit some of his story posts on another blog, adjusting the wording to better fit the context and communicate what I originally wanted to express.
The people who have followed me from the beginning probably remember that I joined Tumblr around 2018. Back then, I was just an undergraduate student who wanted to post Irwin R. Schyster fanart without expecting anything in return. (The outcome was way beyond my expectations, because I never imagined I’d find other people who were just as obsessed with that nerdo as I was. 😂)
And now, that same kid has grown up and decided to pursue a master’s degree in finance for the incredibly silly reason..
“I wanted to be as cool as VK Wallstreet.”🤡
As you can probably guess, it wasn't exactly a strong enough reason to make graduate school easy. But at that time I've been selected to study in this faculty, it's also hard to quit.
I was one of the youngest students in my class, wasn’t particularly outstanding academically. I wasn’t an expert trader. I didn’t own a company. I didn’t work in finance or bond markets. So every exam felt like a battle just to survive.
But honestly, I’m not serious about that. Gay seniors in my group always used to tell me that ✨No one’s going to remember what score you got on your exams or what GPA you graduated with. But if you’re pretty, people will remember you.😉✨
Geez thanks, my sister. You truly awakened the tygurr💅🏻🐅in me.
I actually have so many stories from graduate school that I’d love to share while I’m waiting to finally finish all my university obligations and hopefully find my passion for drawing again.
They probably won’t be 100% academic stories like “what I studied,” “how I prepared for exams,” or “what classes were like,” because let’s be honest.. that stuff is VERY boring.
Instead, they’ll probably be stories about the people I met/ the strange situations I found/ the absolutely bizarre moments/ the “WTF”experiences, and all the weird little things that happened along the way. Just everyday stories that I think most of you will be able to relate to.
Even though I don’t have any drawing ideas at the moment, I’m still keeping up with all of your work whenever I have free time.
And I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know this other side of me as well, the side that has nothing to do with drawing❤️
