imagine being so sad that this is what you do with your life. it’s a video game character.

hey just letting ya know posting to the tag #marionette for fnaf stuff is both incorrect and cross tagging (against tos). Appropriate tags for the puppet/marionette character include: #fnaf puppet #puppet fnaf #fnaf marionette and #marionette fnaf

But.... she is a marionette? And people post her in the marionette tag....? Also what on Earth is crosstagging???? Also Also my account has 4 followers and a used napkin i truly feel like this is not that big a deal. But yk what thanks for the info :D

jumping on this bandwagon!! hello!!

im a writing minor and i SO get it. i’m in love with the school and the program and everything it has to offer but there are some things i def wish i knew before getting into my freshman year!!

- you don’t choose your classes your first year. it’s annoying to me bc i have classes i want to take and professors who are letting me fast track through their programs and i can’t do that yet— BUT i love not having to worry about having to go down to advising or getting my time ticket or any of that yet. SCAD has a big emphasis on letting you settle in freshman year, and it’s just really nice.

- the ~1.3k just to say yes i would like to go here??? is INSANE. it also doesn’t go away. i work at the school now and when i was applying, if i had gotten a different position, i wouldn’t be living on campus. but, i hadn’t been notified yet, so i had to pay the 750 to hold a spot for housing. you don’t get that refunded and you can’t be late, or you don’t get housing. oh my god is it a pain in the ass. but, like loud said, there are tons of advisors and walk-in appointments you can go see and talk to at literally any point in time and they will give you scholarships without you knowing. i had an issue with my adhd medication from coming from a state with different laws, and after they found me a psychiatrist i got an email that my financial aid got updated. adhd scholarship. yay. why didn’t you tell me that before.

- so i’m a film major right. i also had a lot of other colleges that i could apply for (and some i could get full ride at AUGH) but ultimately i chose SCAD for connections and whatnot. oh my god am i glad i did. by the end of second quarter i had been on seven film sets and directed my own short, and been an extra on a thesis film. the culture here is like nothing fucking else. everyone wants everyone to succeed, and they will make sure you do. it’s kind of magical and dream-like and i am so glad i go here.

best of luck with everything! i’m @/odieodieoxenfree on insta if anything else comes up!! go bees!!

Hello! I’ve just recently been excepted into SCAD and I would really like to go for Dramatic Writing. I’m not sure if you know anything about that course, but any info about that major or the school in general would be super helpful. I don’t come from a wealthy family (at all) and as you know, SCAD is very costly. To even say I want to go to the school, I’d have to put out $1,250, which would be rather difficult for my family at the moment (not to mention tuition costs). I just want to know if the school is worth it and if I should take this jump. I really want to go to school for Dramatic Writing and my other college option doesn’t have the same courses, resources, or opportunities as SCAD does and I’m not sure if I’d like it there. Any thoughts you have on the school are appreciated. Thanks a bunch! <3

HAI!!! So short answer: YES GO TO SCAD

Longer answer:

Hey! It's great to talk to you! So as a motion media major, I dont have a lot of information on the dramatic writing major. BUT I do have a LOT of info on the school as a whole!

Money

Scholarships

So I really sympathize with your situation as I came into SCAD in an INCREDIBLY rough financial situation with my family. I still am! And it's true, scad is pricey, dude. but. There are resources. If you want specific links and resources, I would not mind at all talking to you through more replies or through dms, whatever you feel comfortable with! But from a general standpoint, what i recommend for you is emailing the scad advising team (your advisor) or the scad admission department and asking them about your undergrad scholarships. If you have a lot of high school credits, good grades, GPA, leadership positions, awards, etc. Anything like that, I would tell them about it! I would tell them anything about your position, your circumstances, why the school is important to you, what you need, all of that! Tell them everything and try and get everything you can out of them through scholarships to cut down that hefty cost. I know some people here who got over 20k from just doing that, going back and forth with the advising team. It's especially helpful if you talk to them about what other schools may be offering you in comparison. I would also recommend going to the scad website and looking at THEIR resources for outside scholarships. So far, they have been so much more authentic and useful than niche or scholarships.org for me, at least.

Loans

So I ended up getting a pretty decent number in scholarships for my first year, but i was still left with a LOT of money I needed in loans. I think my best piece of advice here is to not be afraid of loans or debt. Yes, you should respect this is a big decision and that you need to take it seriously, but the fact is that the majority of people are in major amounts of debt and they still live their lives. I really recommend, if your family is able, to apply for the FAFSA Parent PLUS loan. It is super reliable, and it's through FAFSA, which is LEAGUES better than private loans. If you are going to look for private loans, then always focus on those apr rates, but I really don't recommend it, period. I would also recommend accepting those smaller loans scad offers. Now, a warning about the Parent PLUS loan, you need a decent credit score for it. Well, maybe not you, but someone in your family does. I come from a single parent household, and my dad's credit score was denied for the loan, so we reached out to my grandad back home to be an assistant on the loan. What this means is that, while the loan is under my dad's name and he and I are responsible for paying it back, they are using my grandads credit score as collateral. Now, this loan has to be refreshed every year, so you are stacking the loans on top of each other, but this is normal. This is what everyone does, so dont be intimidated. Plus, there's always a chance you can increase your scholarship number as the quarters go one, so hopefully, that loan amount decreases each time!

Prep

Build and submit a portfolio and resume if you haven't already. There are pretty hefty scholarships for a good portfolio and resume. I ended up earning some of my money from that, so if you ever need help, feel free to reach out, but remember your advising team (should) always be there to help! You mentioned being a dramatic writing major; your portfolio can include your writing works, but i would also include any other works of art you've created if you have other mediums of art. And if you don't, that's okay!!! It's just always helpful to have a diverse portfolio.

School life

On the topic of the school itself, I will be fully honest, no matter who you are, there is a community here for you.

I personally came from a super weird and out of the ordinary high school and even with those odd social standards, I have had NO problem meeting some of the most wonderful people. I encourage you to join the discord groups they have for upcoming scad students and exploring some of the groups they ahve as you get accustomed, and then branch out if you do choose to go here! There's so many clubs, sports, teams, groups, everything you can name is here! Maybe not as many sports as one would like but even then they have some crazy stuff lol! Actually, in that same vein, i actually volunteer with the freshman kinda outreach program they have called SCAD Squads? It's a group that organizes these super fun events for students to get to know each other and have fun throughout the quarters from huge karaoke nights with strangers to color runs to game nights and whatever else we can think of! So just trust me, in a social aspect, you will belong.

School itself

It's worth it. 1000000%. I know I'm only a year in, but oh my god. I have made the most insane and wonderful connections through this school. From celebrities within the fields, I like to professors that have done EVERYTHING. The professors are almost always more than qualified for what they teach in a way that gets you excited to learn from them. It really is a dream. Not to mention, the work is insane. Yea, the workload can be a bit much for some people depending on your major, but it is so worth it. My art has dramatically improved since I've been here, and the work I have done is vastly important. The classes you take here and the lessons you learn, I promise you won't find anywhere else. In fact, SCAD even has a copyright on how they teach their classes I found out lol. So quite literally you won't get it anywhere else. Point is, yes it's expensive, sometimes it may even feel like more pricey than its worth, yes it's hard work, no it isn't perfect, but I promise you it is worth it. The amount of times I have been walking home from class and just seen the sun set over the trees and felt so overwhelmed with just how grateful I am to be here.

Complaints and warnings

This school isn't perfect. You will meet those asshole guys who you're surprised go to an art school when they've got those weird homophobic views or whatever. You will meet rude professors or classmates or faculty. You will feel dissapointed by a grade or hurt at the loss of a scholarship. I mean dude were going through a housing crisis where SCAD is accepting more people then they have rooms for! There are problems with this school, but you will find they all seem small when you are walking down Broughton with a group of friends and the knowledge that you will be leaving this school with a job doing something you love. I know this all seems like an insane advertisement or an invitation to a cult. But I need you to understand I'm a real person dude. I was a kid who came from a rough home and world where I didn't feel like I would ever find a place that felt right. I came from a place where I thought I would never escape the things I was going through. And now I'm living my dream doing what I love every single day. It's like disgusting how much of a walking advertisement I've become lmao.

Conclusion

Anyway lol. Sorry for the long yap session but I hope I've convinced you to go and that I was able to help you in some way. I promise this school is worth it's weight in gold and I am so open to any questions you may have! Whether it be here or on Instagram at @loudn0ises (I respond more over there), I am always happy to help. Good luck to everyone out there and i hope to see you around campus! :D

WAAA LETS GO

-i was a competitive dancer! i did pointe and contemporary mostly. i aged out lolol

-i’ve been in intensive therapy since i was eight, and now starting the process for a ptsd service dog

- heterochromia!

-longer, kind of gorey one under the cut

so when i was a kid, i lived on a canal that lead into the river. my parents had canoes and we’d take them through the canal and go to all of the little mangrove islands a mile or two out. peak summer fun.

i love swimming and going to the springs and stuff and i HATE water shoes, so i tend to just take my clothes and camera when i swim out there. foreshadowing.

at this point in my life i’m around ten or twelve, and swimming on the bottom of the river and collecting rocks and such. we’re at a mangrove island so my parents dock the canoe on the shore and i have to kick hard against the bottom of the river to swim back up. well. OWIE, but i figured it was just a rock or something

i get to the island and walk up and my foot HURTS. i look back and im tracking BLOODY FOOTPRINTS so i start to panic. i pick up my foot and there’s BARNACLES IN THERE.

i have three long cuts in the fleshy part that are filled with the suckers. i hop over to my dad and show him and he basically throws me into the canoe and we start rowing home. we’re about an hour out from the canal so i’m tired and crying bc the only worse pain i’ve ever felt is literally cracking my skull but that’s another story.

my mom is talking about er and surgical removal and im UPSET because im ten and i dont want another surgery. bad times. so they take me home and im carried into the bathroom all princess style and my mom promises she can get the barnacles out.

i have to put my foot in the tub to wash the sand and dirt off of my wound and i can feel the suckers in there. bad and icky. im kind of panicking still but i feel better with some advil.

until my mom, who comes in with one of my dad’s BIG ASS KNIVES (he’s a chef!) and grabs my ankle.

i start begging and pleading to be taken to the hospital. my mom is upset she can’t do surgery on me and my dad drives me to the er and i get steak and shake on the way.

tldr: i had thirteen barnacles stuck in my foot and getting a tetanus shot in the arc of your foot is maybe the worst thing in the world. i was awake when they were ✨digging around in there✨ and it was awful.

until four months later when another whole ass barnacle pushed itself from the bottom of my foot.

thank you for coming to my tedtalk. please wear water shoes

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore
