Student Takeaways
From a class discussion at Loyola University

"My main takeaway from this is that you can't be too hard on yourself. Productivity ≠ progress."

Jacob

"A lot of my takeaways were wrapped up in the Creative Baggage Podcast Episode that I listened to before class as well. All of it was a really refreshing perspective on art, one that I really needed. Encouraging you to be kind to yourself and your art, having a balance between art and other interests, and acknowledging our insecurities and worries about our own careers without getting discouraged. I really appreciated that we were given space to share. I didn't because I often struggle to be vulnerable when it comes to my music struggles, but I was just happy to know the space to share was there."

Cason

"My main take away was to be kind and patient with yourself. Everyone is learning and trying their best. "
