I AM SHOL

I have a feeling I really disregard people more and more lately… Idk if it’s ego, or I’m losing my mind, but I really don’t focus on what people say more and more. It’s hard to. Example, class has been okay lately, but for some reason I’m reading the assignments wrong and the work I turn in doesn’t align with what the professor is asking for (really just redoing already existing brands logos). Am I careless for not reading it right, OR, are they not elaborating on the assignments correctly? My gut is telling me turn in something original, they seem to think otherwise… Is it me? Or, is it them? Do they not think for themselves and their own product creation? Or, are you there to learn how to just feed the beasts that already exist? AND… does that mean creativity and originality is actually dead? Crazy tangent, but it seems to all align in my brain.
