design SOS

Today I woke up fresh and was excited to get to school-No seriously. Although I felt guilty and a little anxious from taking a full two day weekend to myself,I found myself physically and mentally replenished and ready for a busy week at the office, the unpaid office that is.
Over and over again I see my fellow classmates chain themselves to their desks and feel as though they cannot leave there desks until their projects are complete, not even to go pee! I have to admit I am guilty of this from time to time because it's easy to get sucked into design slavery. The pressure is at an all time high as the school year is coming to an end and final evaluation creeps closer and closer. The workload is heavy but sometimes I think we just over think our ideas. As a creative person, you can't schedule inspiration, which is really frikking inconvenient. It can come to you within the first 30 seconds and sometimes never arrive! I think I'm a good student, but who's to tell what the evaluators will think?
With 3 different opinions from 3 completely different personality types it's almost impossible to achieve perfection. Of course when we step into the work force there will be far more opinionated consumers and clients to please, but when and how will I find a way to make everyone happy? I most likely won't, I don't think anyone has. The real question is, how do I find a way to make myself happy with my design? I am the artist after all, and my pieces are designed to my liking. I will always strive for perfection, no matter who tries to stop me. If you're having somewhat of an uninspiring day, I thought you might enjoy this video... As Charlie Brown once said;

In all this world,there is no heavier burden than great potential
