I think my doodles
just reflect how much of a love for
life I want to have and I'm trying to have every day, I wake up some days and
I don't know where it's going But I know I'm gonna live it to the fullest.
You don't make mistakes you make happy accidents in the words of Bob Ross.

>> I've been working in admissions for So long and
a lot of my job is to be on the phone with people.
And so I draw while I'm talking on the phone with people.
So I do these little freeform doodling things.
Each one is associated with a student and with their story, and
I couldn't get rid of them.
They just felt too personal to To throw away, it's sorta funny.
The longer, this was clearly a longer phone conversation than that one,
and probably a little more intense.
This one, I took so long that I had time to do two colors.
I just love the spaces for creativity in the midst of an administrative day.

Sometimes I go on like Instagram and
I just scroll through and I find random photos I like and
I just like, try it like that's why I have this dog photo.
It's very cute.
Dog.
>> It was live waves.
I appreciate >> [CROSSTALK]
>> I usually doodle like,
if I'm in class for like a really long time, and I'm just running out of gas.
It's something like I just started, I wanna say like, this semester, but
I think it's working.
Like I think it's like keeping me focused.
I am in Sargent for behavior and health.
With anatomy and physiology classes or bio-related things,
I found doodling a very helpful way to take notes.
Our bodies are so complex and throughout the day, there's so
many things going on that we don't even think about.
So to kind of draw it out, and gain better understanding of it,
to me is a really cool thing, >> With time i do,
I try to look back to what I did, and see where my mind was at the moment.
I think I was just sitting on the bench and
across there was this nun listening music with this set of headphones,
portable headphones and I was thinking about what could be
going through her mind Imagining all the creative ideas that someone can have and
how we judge someone without even knowing them.

[SOUND] >> The process of like,
drawing things out is just so satisfying and like when you're in the process of
making something and then you see the piece just kind of come together.
It makes you just kind of feel like even if things
don't make any sense there's a way to connect it.
>> [SOUND] I've been kind of trying to almost art journal,
like, put on some music and I'll like job whatever comes to me.
I do a lot of drawing like feminine people.
I don't know to me drawing faces over and over again is very like calming and
therapeutic.
Like a form of meditation or something >> I'm a very visual person.
And so when I see lines, they just kind of naturally start to form a pattern.
My brain can't help but see the pattern.
And so when I when I do that for long enough, I start seeing geometric shapes in
them and then you know, once you see them, you can't help but draw them.
Where people who are afraid I think people are afraid of making mistakes.
But when you're doodling who cares if you make a mistake because it's a doodle and
you just move on with your life like I don't like this The way this cube looks,
well, too bad, it doesn't matter.
>> Doodling is an activity that always invites you.
No matter what you end up putting on your page.
It's gonna be a reflection of who you are in some capacity.
