How my ID related conversations go
- Person who hasn't known me long and I have a conversation, almost always is like this:
- Person: What's your major?
- Me: Industrial design.
- Person: a. Oh wow! (acts impressed) So...what's that like? (what the heck is that I've never heard of it)
- b. Oh (acts like they know what it is) is that like, industrial engineering? (because theyve both got the word in it?)
- c. Oh! (is honest but clueless) what's that?
- Me: its blah product design blah mass production blah wide variety of applications blah blah engineering and art blah furniture blah toys blah electronics blah
- Person: a. Oh cool! (ok lets stop now)
- b. So what do you want to do with it? (is there like...money involved in this kind of thing?)
- c. What do you guys have to do in your classes? (yeah still dont know what this ID thing is)
- Me: projects blah so much stress blah currently is hairdryer project blah its turning my hairs all white no sleep help me oh god
