I can be anything I want to.

I'm Robin and I'm not sure I will ever know who I am completely because I believe everyone is constantly changing. I might know who I am one day and have that thrown out the window the next after I have experienced something that changes my life. I love to write whenever I have the chance. I am normally very shy when you first meet me. That has a lot to do with me not trusting people very easily. I love music I guess most people would classify as 'indie.' Bands I can listen to anytime are Modest Mouse, Radiohead, Xiu Xiu, Against Me!, Broken Social Scene,  Sonic Youth, Animal Collective, and Explosions in the Sky. I could definitely list more, but you probably have never heard of them and wouldn't like them even if I helped you listen. 

So how do I feel about art? I would say it's pretty obvious that I love creating art and being surrounded by it as much as possible. I guess that is what everyone here at Tyler is into, right? My favorite artist is Salvador Dali, which I hate to admit because so many people like him who know nothing about him. He was very egotistic and thought he was the best. I think if I ever met him, I probably wouldn't like the guy, but that doesn't take away from my love of his art work.

I came to Tyler because I had no other choice. I applied to two schools, the other being Columbus College of Art and Design. It was my top choice to go to Columbus, but financially I could not. I plan on transferring there though eventually. I'm really not sure what I want to do with an art degree. It is way too hard to live just making paintings. My fall-back plan for now is to just get my BFA and teach. I guess this post is me in the shortest form possible, but don't let first impressions be deceiving.
