if you can get over your irrational fear of people, here are some tips to ENJOY art school:
1. be discreet. even if you are honest, you don't have to point out 'hipster bullshit.' you are just as bull-shitty as they are in your own way. you just don't see it.
2. if you see someone into something that you are, bring it up with them. you are far more likely to meet people with common ground in art school.
3. great thing about art school is that doing good work will make you more interesting
4. play videogames-- its a social tool.
5. ask for advice from people who are better than you. this is also a great way to begin networking.
6. join a fucking club, or start one. i am serious. many schools will even cover part of the costs of your club.
7. in critiques, stick to what is relevant to solving the student's objective. don't go on tangents too often.
8. make cupcakes for your class.
