I absolutely relate to this. It's hard going from big fish/ small pond to "not that special". It didn't help that art school students seemed to be looked down on by the tutors themselves! Also, mature students *eyeroll*! I love creating as an actual adult and giving so many less fucks about what other people think. I'm not wasting time with the angst - I'm actually making shit I'm really proud of!
