Student Commons
I'm sitting in a common or lounge room that doubles as a cafeteria of a small community college just over a mile away from the downtown area of a small city in the midwest.

I'm done with class and really have no other reason to be here besides the better internet connection than at home. There are other smaller, more secluded spots around campus, but I choose the one with all the people in it. I know I don't sound like the introvert I probably am, but I rarely talk to anyone here.

Spencer MacAdamPublished 5 years ago in EducationStudio Discipline
When I entered into college as a freshman with a degree in art, I was nowhere close to where I needed to be in studio discipline. In fact, I was quite clueless.
