The sun is shining just a little brighter. The days are lengthening. The winter blues are finally gone. MSA is preparing for the new batch of future artists coming in, and working hard send off the seniors who worked hard to earn their name here. I would lie if I didn’t say these transitional moments have my future heavy on my mind.
Senior year is quickly approaching the class of 2022. I don’t know whether to run for the hills without stopping or embrace all that I’ve done leading up to my finale. It has never been smooth sailing or an easy path but it has been worthwhile.
My junior year alone, I discovered so much of who I am and the person that I want to be. This discovery did not come without discomfort or challenges but I wouldn’t trade anything for it.
To the incoming juniors, Class of 2023, I hope MSA finds you well. I hope you discover the best version of yourself. I hope your future here at MSA is kind to you and pleasant.
I can’t speak on behalf of the entire Class of 2022, but I promise to help each of you along the way, helping you navigate this new life much like I did. There are going to be nerves but I swear coming to MSA is like finding your own community that becomes your family.
We are excited for the next school year and for the new faces and artwork that is going to be seen on campus next school year. But, also, let’s enjoy this summer break y’all. I don’t know about anyone reading this but I know for a fact that I need my break.
I’m going to miss everything on this campus, but one thing I know for sure is that it will always be waiting for me.
With an open mind and heart,
Taylor Noelle
I 100% agree and relate to this blog post, Taylor. I also, am glad to help any incoming juniors as well, but until then that break is gonna be so well-deserved 🙂
Same tbh, I don’t know if I’m nervous or excited, a bit of both really. I feel like we can all do it though 🙂
