For years, young people have been told to take a DIY (do it yourself) approach to their creative careers. But that's turning out to be pretty unrealistic advice in today's increasingly complicated and crowded world. Instead, you should DIT- do it together. So many different skills are needed to navigate the industry today that teaming up with a roommate or fellow student might be one of the smartest things you can do to share the load and get farther. Together. College isn't just about learning things, but building a coalition of like minded friends willing to go the distance with you to help you realize your creative and professional potential.

"Connection over perfection. Art is about expression and sharing, not getting everything perfect. The real power of art is the connection it creates."
