Oddly, I feel like the isolation has taught me as much as being in my classes might have. Altogether though, I have learned that being a homebody isn’t for me. I much prefer being in a room full of creative people than in a chat room full of them. I miss seeing my classmates work from classes I couldn’t get enrolled in. Or getting the occasional feedback by someone passing by. Or seeing the sun. But the sun can wait till next year, I’ve still got some procrastinating to do.

I am a designer who was born in the year 2000. I’m generally a young person who is heavily interested in design, but somehow unlike many of the other designers my age, I absolutely hate “UI/UX.” It’s not because I don’t like designing websites or designing for screens. Coding websites is fun (once you sort of get the hang of it), and creating unique experiences is very fulfilling. It’s like being able to do the branding and the interior design; well it could be. I don’t like UI/UX because of what it isn’t, not because of what it is (well maybe a little bit because of what it is).

The problem seems to always come to economy vs environment. It’s the problem my generation will have to find a solution for, but for now we pretend that it isn’t real and that we aren’t going to be the ones to pay up when the bill is due. I mean, it’s a monumental problem, and as a member of the generation responsible, I have no clue what can be done.
