Well maybe this will cheer you up, every time someone asks me what I'm doing I gotta shrug and say "Hmm, I don't know, fucking around in community college I guess!" You're going to HAVE a degree, so that is really great! I know that honestly, I just have a long road ahead of me to get into a science program, but I still feel so stunted. We just have to keep trucking along. I'm so terrified of turning twenty. Can I please just be a teenager forever? This is comfortable.
It's all true, but I felt nervous and weird as soon as I turned 13...I keep hearing that things just get better as you age but I'm always worried I'm taking the wrong steps to have those golden thirtysomething plus years. Haha an I don't know when I'll be a woman or an adult. Considering your circumstances (even without considering your circumstances) I've been really impressed with your drive and decision to get into science after having an art-related background. I think it's really noble. One of the smartest kids in my class last year left Cooper to study science back home, and in a way I'm jealous of all the things you'd get to learn in a science program. I had a teacher talk about how fear and doubt was the foundation of every artist-- and so feeling stunted falls right in there, as something ok to experience. Not like there's many clues to get past it, but allowing it to happen (especially beyond the artistic spectrum), there's something very Zen and Mister Rodgers about it.
Are you general fine arts? An illustrator? With some people you can just tell by their work, but I'm having trouble deciding.... Or, wait, Cooper Union doesn't offer comics?
The school of art here doesn't have majors, everyone gets a BFA. However, because I can take whatever I want and do just about whatever I want in those classes, I could feasibly bring in comics to my Drawing or Graphic Design class. The teachers I specifically have would even treat it fairly if not get excited about it.
I feel like I draw like an illustrator, or at least I would like to. It's all some stupid combination of worshiping deviantart celebrities and 70s-80s performance art hahahahah.
