For a professional lifestyle what does break or days off look like ?
I’m having trouble balancing like “free time”, vacation, personal life time, but I have mu priorities like work, school, honing my craft that I take seriously. I feel like I’m constantly neglecting parts of my life. When I'm in “free time,” I feel like I should be working; when I’m working, I feel like I work too much and need a break. Or vice versa I have too much “free time” and I’m not working on my priorities enough?

What comes with studying marketing?
I'm not 100% sure about what I want to major in in college, but I'm trying to learn more about marketing. I want to major in something that allows me to be creative and hopefully something that can also involve a little bit of psychology (it's a field that I find very interesting).

I am the social media manager for multiple clubs in my school and I'm wondering if I could continue doing that professionally in the future and if marketing is a career that would allow that.

Where can I find someone to interview about art as a high school student?
I need to interview at least four people about art for my English class’ “what if project.” I would like them to be professionals in the field of interest whether that be staff at a museum or professors of art history. However, I’ve emailed a lot of people and have gotten no responses after a few weeks. I need these interviews relatively soon but I’m not sure who would agree. Do you have any advice? The interview would be based around “what if art was the primary way we measured progress in society and how this would change our priorities and the kind of legacy we would leave behind for the future?” Might our “what if” question be the reason we aren’t getting any responses?

Life Guidance: What do I do Where do I go? (Sports/Creative/Business).?
I am a freshman in college going down the route of graduating with some sort of Business degree. I have found myself to be a creative person from a young age, which I’m not sure a business major fits. I loved drawing, designing, and coming up with ideas. I still do, it is just that TENNIS has become an addiction for the past few years. However, I no longer have a tennis team to participate in which drives me nuts. With this information, I know I would love to be a part of the sports industry. I find the roles of management, marketing, designing, fashion, and coaching to be interesting careers. I also wouldn’t mind being a part of entertainment (concerts, film sets, etc.). I'm just unsure of where to go after understanding these things about myself.

Where should I go to college and set up my life as a concept artist ?
I know somewhere like LA or New York may have the best opportunities to make it as an artist, but not only are they expensive, they are crowded, smoggy, has pretty sparse nature, and overall not what I'm used to as a Texas resident in a small town. Are there any less crowded more nature filled areas that also have a lot of artists and animators to network with and ideally a reputable college for artists nearby.

How can I get over this lack of motiviation?
I know I have interests, there's a section of my room dedicated towards things I truly know I care about. Guitar, Piano, Cameras, microphones for when I sing to record and my drawing tablet. But I can't bring myself to actually get up and practice - or if I do, I give up quickly. People say "you won't always feel like doing what you need too" or "find a job you love so you have a reason to get up everyday" but what if i struggle to even make it to that step? I can't find a reason to get up everyday - I just stare at the instruments and camera collecting dust - and feel guilty. Guilty that I have access to such tools that kids my age would kill to have - yet I can't find any passion, any motivation to try. Younger me loved being on the stage - playing piano, dancing etc. etc. but I just feel like no one is there to see my growth. I feel alone, and that might be why I don't try. I don't know if this is because my parents are unsupportive - practically my dad reminding me that it is "too late" for me to try and learn anything new. He's a harsh man, so maybe that could be a reason? I do have a therapist, if that is important - but it seems like no one understands what I have to say and I've been like this for the past three years. Does anyone else relate to this? How did you get over this hurdle?
