Introduction
Hey I'm Soul or Jazz(y) and I'm a 17 year old girl, who is now a senior in high school. My plan is to major in Graphic Design after high school and become a Graphic Design artist, but I also plan to take some college course in animation. I am studying to become fluent in Japanese and I can hold a decent enough conversation in it. I plan to try to study abroad in Japan during college and I really hope that it works out. I consider myself to be pretty friendly so feel free to message me anytime!

My upcoming Life

Hey everyone I haven't been very active recently with the rush of finishing my senior year of high school and graduating but hopefully college won't keep me so busy that I forget to make things for this site. In the last few months of highschool my film class friends and I filmed at 40 minute long, professional (As professional as high school and college film students can make) and it's going to be amazing once the final product comes out, I'm really excited for the final product. I'm also excited for next month though since I'll be starting my freshmen year of college. I'm already a little nervous because I'm a double major in Media Studies and Biology (I know it's a bit of a weird mix) but I hope that I can find a way to work everything out. I'm just happy that I have a full ride to college so I won't have debts. I also was accepted in the International Honors College at my school meaning that I am required to study abroad for a minimum of 1 semester. I picked Japan as my location to study. But in addition to studying abroad I must also pass a fluency test in a foreign language, good thing I'm already fluent in Japanese. I'm currently learning Mandarin Chinese and Russian though but I hope I can be proficient in Mandarin by the time I study in Japan, if anyone can help me with those two languages that would be great. In addition to my new upcoming college life I have been working at my local science center as an animal handler and as a guide to the visitors, which has been an amazing experience, and not just because I really love holding snakes. All in all my life has been going very nicely recently and I'm happy to have my first post in a long time about all my good news.

Icon Secret Santa?

Is anyone planning on making a icon secret Santa? If not I don't mind hosting it, I just wanted to know if anyone was planning to host it this year.

Schedule and Applications

Well I got the rough draft of my senior year schedule today and this is what it is.
1/2 period Adobe Video Design/CTE advanced studies
3rd period AP Japanese
4th period AP Biology
3rd period A day AP English Literature and Composition
3rd period B day AP Calculus
4th period A day Proficient Animation
4th period B day Free Study (no class)

However what's really stressing me is all the opening college applications and portfolio deadlines that are upcoming. I hate how much it costs to apply to each school, even more so since I have to apply to most schools within the next month or month and a half because I want to major in Graphic Design. The summer hasn't even ended yet and I'm already getting stressed and am not ready for all of this college stuff yet.

Does anyone speak Japanese?

Hey I was just wondering if anyone spoke Japanese on this site because I'm currently trying to become fluent and am entering AP Japanese this fall but I don't really have anyone outside of my class of 3 people that can speak it all, so I get very little practice. Plus I'm also curious to see who else knows this fun language!
