JUICY Q&A | LIFE UPDATE!

[@soup5481]

I am 73 years old. Never once have I regretted not finishing college. Not once. It isn't for everybody. You go, girl!

[@mini2467]

I just graduated from film school and Arianna is right its not easy its a lot of work. I feel it will help people if thats something they are definitely interested in.

[@seashellsprosperity8729]

Graduated with a bachelors. Its hard work and worth the work you allow in front of you.

[@christinehewitt4609]

College isn't for everybody, I learned more by working and living through lessons than I ever did in school. You have a good head on your shoulders Ariana and are doing great. It sure was nice watching this video and seeing your face after so long but those who have watched you grow up (should) understand that you are an adult and have different boundaries as you grow into who you want to be. You be you and do not ever worry about what others think or say because, in the end, they get 15-minute videos and do not really know who you are only what you feel comfortable sharing.

[@conniemckenzie7801]

Ari, you are far from being old, however, it does come quickly, if, you're blessed to grow into an, "Old Hag"!

[@eileengreenwood4445]

I'm glad you are following what you feel is best for you! Thanks for the updates! ❤️

[@kandylee8491]

❤ I was so thinking of you yesterday and wanted to see if you were OK. You are amazing and You can do what you need to do to make yourself happy. Be happy and keep making yourself a top priority. School isn't for everyone and if it doesn't work for you it's all good. Hugs and know we all love and support you. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@missymyers7043]

You might not repeat those mistakes, but sadly they are floating around online. God Bless you; may you learn from them and move on. You have young siblings that look up to you! Wish you all the best on your next steps on journey.

[@aracelis_gonzalez]

I totally feel you with the college situation. My daughter just started college yesterday for Fashion Designer. Colleges/Universtities do give certain classes that arent really the concentration you want, but thats because you must have certain skills, and other things from that specific class/course. I see when you say thats a waste of time/money etc...cuz I feel the same, but at the end you will eventually only be in concetration classes which is fully what you really want to do. I encourage you (Im 38 yo) and luv watching u amd Crazy Pieces, to just take all the time you need. Maybe just consider doing castings and all because alof of people start that way. I wish you the best and many blessings.

[@shanicesidacia1699]

[@KP-nk7fo]

Trust me 30 takes awhileeee to get to lol. Just turned 30 this past month and lemme tell you those 20s don’t exactly fly by they are plentiful and by the time you hit 30 you’ll be ready for it. You will feel like a baby up until 28 or so.

[@michellewatson6346]

Sounds like you need to take some acting classes and do a portfolio and get an agent, just to see what is out there. And if not offered in Atlanta, then head to Cali or NY. You are young, go follow your dreams .....

[@erwhitesell]

I'm curious, if you are not continuing with the school in Atlanta, are you still going to live in Atlanta? It doesn't sound like you are too fond of Arizona as a location, but living at home, or closer to home may be a good way to save money. You have grown a lot as a person, and that's also what college is for! Proud of you!

[@JessicaRodriguez-zy5gz]

She KNOWS this ain’t her first rodeo 😂 are you new?

[@pambrown8692o]

My favorite part of living alone is when I put something down it’s still in the exact same place I left it when I go back for it later. Oh, also I can eat what I want when I want. I’m not on a schedule. Lol

[@ericaaubie860]

Ariana you are so sweet you have come such a long way. You have a great out look on life. Your so right when you said don't let it affect you, and move on. Your so blessed to have parents adopt you like Crystal, and Aaron.

[@pambrown8692o]

It’s okay not to continue college. Especially if you’re not getting anything out of it. Maybe the reason you were supposed to go to that first year at SCAD was so you’d get out of Arizona. You never know what Atlanta has in store for you. And now that you’re not going to school you can put more time and energy into figuring out what your purpose in Atlanta is.

[@LisaMobley-pc6tu]

Ariana you can do whatever you put your mind too, college, no college you do you. I am curious, if you find it hard living there and meeting people, why haven’t you moved back to Arizona closer to your family and other friends? Love you girl.

[@kaistockman6443]

I think degrees could definitely be less than four years. I went to school for graphic design, visual communications, and I had to take five art history classes, which seemed like more than the actual classes for my degree. I agree with you. But by the time I realized that I was already into my third year, so I finished because I had spent a lot of money already.

[@malinpeh]

Every field have parts you wont really like, even if it’s your dream career. I don’t say that quitting now is wrong, but do more research before starting your next chapter and also realize that the parts you don’t like still might be very useful and a way to get to where you want to be. Money, looks and luck might get you where you want anyways, but for most people the (sometimes boring) stuff around a dream is necessary to achieve it.

[@nikiileeiii]

Girl you do what's best for YOU, always!! Your happiness is so important! If anyone has an issue, they aren't the ones living your life, it's also weird that people have so much concern for someone they don't even know 😅

[@jjayeedd]

I’m proud of you Ariana. Stay true to yourself, I think you’re awesome for it 💕✨

[@katesmith3899]

Pushing 30 LMAO Give it a break child lol. You’re just entering your 20s relax!!

[@amyhubbard30]

I think that's awesome that both times you realized college wasn't for you, you left instead of wasting time and money. College is overrated, it's not necessary for everyone or for every career. You are 20, you have so much time and opportunity, you will do great things!

[@moorelcel]

Restaurants? Depends on where you want to drive to in Atlanta. I did not think SCAD was where you needed to be. Terribly expensive. Find your niche. College expands your world.

[@sherikatsuyama7243]

I like crazy pieces and crazy middles I know all of you even the two. I even know the name of the grand babies of both side the only grand baby I don’t know the name is from crazy middle destiny baby boy?

[@lisaunderwood4747]

You got to do what you feel is right for you. On another note: if you think 20/21 is almost 30 and an old hag, you need to reevaluate that. Im almost 56 with 5 grandkids but do not consider myself an old hag. You are only going to feel like an old hag if you have that mind set.

[@GS-kv3zy]

So glad you took your nose ring out, your so beautiful and that just took away from that beauty❤

If your not going back to college what are you doing instead of not going do you have a full time job so that way you don't lose your apartment that your living in cause you have it set up so cute & by the way it's nice to see you again on here Ariana don't give up on your dream of doing the filming / movie thing if that's your dream of doing.

[@coreendear]

Here is some motherly as well as professional advice, if you ever want to be taken seriously in your chosen profession, unless you are just down right lucky, you need to take those not so fun classes. You will learn some important factors even from fashion design. So what you need to decide is, how bad do you want a future in the film industry and how bad to you want to be taken serious? By bypassing an education, and trying to skip ahead or take shortcuts, you are hurting your chances. Because you are on social media and have been for a large portion of your life, that is what people are going to see. So these choices will forever reflect on your future. On the other hand, if what you are doing makes you happy and you are financially secure then that's awesome.

[@girlfromsouth214]

Most people working in the film industry do not have a college degree. Film jobs are most often in the trades, not academic field. And, employers hire MANY people who started but did not complete college or who went back later in life to get a degree. The four year graduation rate in the US for people attempting college out of high school is only like 30%. As a self professed "professional," it is disingenuous for you to make Ariana or any other young person who may have attempted, but didn't complete, a degree believe that the time they spent in college will hurt their chances of future employment and will "follow them around" forever. That is absolutely not true.

I agree @coreendear 👍

There is absolutely nothing wrong with dropping out of college if you decide its not for you. I've went to college 2 times and dropped out both times. I won't go back again.
