How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I finally got paid!
Which in itself is stressful as I have to prioritize what bills and expenses to cover first while resisting every $20 impulse buy that can definitely wait
Congratulations! One neat trick you can do is schedule most of your bills to be split in half over the month. It really lightens the load and makes your phone bill and utilities more affordable.
 
I'm preparing for postsecondary education. I'm still unsure if my major is what I really want to do, because I care more about art than anything.
I wouldn’t really recommend making art classes for credits, you should focus on learning the info instead of practicing for a test. Sometimes colleges offer art classes that won’t effect your GPU. What art courses are you taking? If you are at least

Would you be willing to have your art as a hobby that's not directly related to your work? It might be worth it to make your major something you would be good at and will be a good income source.

...which can be a freelance artist if you're able to cultivate a brand.

Yeah, I put it in as just a minor. I'm going to look into what classes they have when I have a minute.

Yep, that's what I did (and the mindset I have currently, I'm a bit nervous to choose something that will end up fucking me over).
 
Imagine thinking of art as a hobby imagine thinking of it as work etc...
Modern Art has lowered the barrier to entry, but if you're really good you can demand a lot for your services.
Even if you just have something simple. One of the local artists here just puts automotive paint on picture-sized sheets of metal and they are so beautiful I would get one if I could afford it. Most of them are just a solid color but the color is so vibrant.

Work has been tough this week. Enormous fucking dockets/workload. At the end of the day about all I can do is keep my cats alive and read KF. I'm just numb, this has been 'the normal' for the last five years.
At least I no longer have the deal with BimboBoss. Fucking nightmare.
Post those cats

If there's one person who knows about anything art classes it is HiEatler.

I fell for the alcoholic jew today and bought a bottle of Tullamore Dew because it was on sale at Lidl, one of my best friends invited me out but i had to take a raincheck because my behaviour wasn't socially acceptable at 7PM already and he is a family father. We know each other since childhood so he immediatly knew in what state i am when i told him via Whatsapp speech message today is not a good day to go out :story:
I am not a belligerent drunk or anything but certain things seem to happen when i go out in this state and i don't need this at my age. Gonna see him at my other best childhood friend's place next week anyways.

Girlfriend's birthday is coming up next week and i am completely scoobied at what to get her, i bought her a very nice perfume last year (Gucci Gardenia, smells like heaven) and another thing she really wanted for years for Christmas and now i am all out of ideas. Flowers is a given but i'd like to have something to accompany it.
 
Do you have one of those relationships where you can ask her? Or has she maybe *hinted* anything your way?
Oh sure, i did ask her but she's modest to a t and always says "i don't need anything" and is also way too adapt at sussing out what i am buying her when i say i got a surprise for her. I was extremely happy when i got her a gift for last year's Christmas that she wasn't counting on because she last mentioned it ~5 years ago, it was one of these projectors that casts a Milky Way galaxy on the walls/ceiling.
