In 2006, students from Xavier High School in NYC sent Kurt Vonnegut five letters asking the aging writer to visit their class. What he wrote back is one of the most inspiring things ever:
1. Doing something badly is often better than not doing it at all. Can't shower? Brush your teeth. Can't work out? Do one press up. Something is nearly always better than nothing.
2. Life is too short to waste not following your passion. Take a risk. You only get one shot.
In general, if you are interested in studying an arts subject, simply because you love it, do it. You will gain immeasurably from a degree in it, whatever you end up doing for a job. Don't let anyone tell you arts degree are of lesser worth - they are not.
