Whether it\u2019s work, school, or other responsibilities holding you back, online RMCAD alum and former student ambassador, Sarah Pauly is here to tell you it\u2019s possible. Even as a full-time student in RMCAD\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/academics\/program\/online\/illustrative-design\/\">Illustrative Design<\/a> program, Pauly managed a full-time job and traveled to Arizona, Missouri, Washington, Texas, and Alabama.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, it wasn&#8217;t always been easy for Pauly to juggle school, work, art, and travel, as the flexibility of the online program can sometimes be a double-edged sword. She shared that the hardest part has been managing her time, saying: \u201cIf you don\u2019t have a lot of experience and skill with managing your time, then it can be a challenge!\u201d Pauly shares how she struck the balance of traveling while studying online.<\/p>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_86491\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86491\" style=\"width: 389px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-86491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_0890-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo from Sarah Pauly's travels.\" width=\"389\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_0890-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_0890-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_0890-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_0890-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_0890-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86491\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo from Sarah Pauly&#8217;s travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Flexibility Matters for Modern Students<\/h2>\n\n<p>Pauly resides in Shiloh, Illinois, but with family scattered all around the country, it\u2019s hard to stay in touch. Luckily, RMCAD\u2019s flexible learning style maked it easy for her to visit her loved ones. Whether it was her sister\u2019s wedding, Thanksgiving, or a family reunion during her first week at RMCAD, studying online meant she was there for those important moments. Pauly said, \u201cIt&#8217;s been really sweet to see my family and be intentional with that time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Challenges of Balancing Education and Travel<\/h3>\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t always been easy for Pauly to manage her busy schedule. For the first few months of college, it was difficult to balance her time. Procrastinating, Pauly was consistently doing a week\u2019s worth of classwork the weekend before it was due. Time management for online learning is an important skill that few virtual students have off the bat. Throughout her freshman year, Pauly slowly found a time management style that fit both her academic and travel schedules.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>She learned she could frontload her school work to travel: \u201cIf I procrastinated during the week, then I just had to sit and do school for two days.\u201d Over time, she learned how to make her schedule work. Studying remotely as a creative, Pauly realized she could just as easily frontload her asynchronous schedule. By completing her work earlier in the week, she gave herself time to edit, refine, and improve her assignments.<\/p>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_86489\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86489\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-86489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9471-161x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Sarah Pauly painting.\" width=\"260\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9471-161x300.jpeg 161w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9471-549x1024.jpeg 549w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9471-768x1433.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9471-823x1536.jpeg 823w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9471.jpeg 914w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Pauly painting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting the Most Out of School While Traveling<\/h2>\n\n<p>Once she built a routine, Pauly opened up about how it was important to be present with her coursework. Capitalizing on her education didn\u2019t just mean completing assignments and checking boxes. To grow as an artist, she wanted to be intentional, saying, \u201cIf you&#8217;re not intentional, you can get to the end of a class and ask yourself. \u2018Did I actually learn anything, or did I just complete the assignments?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying Connected and Motivated<\/h3>\n\n<p>One of the most common misconceptions about online education for artists is that they can\u2019t make the same interpersonal connections with their classmates as their on-ground counterparts. Pauly can attest that it isn&#8217;t easy, but it was important to her artistic development. She shared that building those connections with other artists and meeting her classmates \u201cwas intentional for me.\u201d She got involved with the American Institute of Graphic Arts (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aiga.org\/\">AIGA<\/a>), a national organization with a student chapter at RMCAD. By being proactive about reaching out to other members of the RMCAD community, she began making close friends at school.<\/p>\n\n<p>The club was among the first places she collaborated with other artists outside of class. \u201cThat\u2019s where I met students and got to know their names, other than just from discussion posts. It has been awesome to be part of that artist community!\u201d That type of collaboration empowered Pauly when she needed guidance. Pauly is most grateful for the community\u2019s \u201cfeedback and encouragement. Hearing people share their experiences is why I became a student ambassador. I wanted to serve and make an impact in that same capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traveling Artist Balances Work and Study<\/h3>\n\n<p>Work, school, and travel can all be a lot to juggle. However, with responsibility comes self-discovery. Pauly shared that one of her favorite things about college has been serving as a student ambassador. She credits her role as an ambassador with keeping her connected to the campus community, \u201cas an online student, it\u2019s up to you to make that decision of how involved you want to be with other students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Along with her role as a student ambassador and full-time student, Pauly also held down multiple other jobs while in college. At times, working made studying art and design online difficult, not to mention traveling. Nonetheless, it helped her balance her time to become the best version of herself. \u201cAt one point, I was working 40 hours a week and a full-time student, not including my work as an ambassador. But being an online student, I had the flexibility to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_86490\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86490\" style=\"width: 287px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-86490\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9472-161x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Pauly painting.\" width=\"287\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9472-161x300.jpeg 161w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9472-549x1024.jpeg 549w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9472-768x1433.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9472-823x1536.jpeg 823w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9472.jpeg 914w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86490\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pauly painting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Success: Combining Online Study and Travel<\/h2>\n\n<p>Some of Pauly\u2019s favorite sources of inspiration are simple pleasures like nature, instrumental music, and even silence. One of her favorite pieces of advice for combining education and travel is letting the mind rest. Work, school, art, and travel all take a lot of energy. \u201cI have found boredom to be one of the best things in creating, because when you&#8217;re bored, ideas have to come to you and not the other way around.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know Your Due Dates<\/h3>\n\n<p>\u201cOn Monday morning, I look at what is due for the week and make a checklist.\u201d Pauly shared how this tactic helps her to work ahead of her deadlines and build a more effective workflow as a student. The time she saves has allowed her to travel more confidently without fear of missing any classwork. As an online student, she has come to appreciate the motivation that comes along with academic deadlines. Balancing travel and education is just one piece of the puzzle. Pauly is always looking to improve her work as an artist, too.<\/p>\n\n<p>Like many art students, Pauly confessed that she didn\u2019t always make the time for her personal projects. One trick she learned was to give herself due dates. Even still, motivation can be hard for self-imposed deadlines. That\u2019s why Pauly loves giving illustrations and paintings as birthday presents. \u201cIf a piece is for me, I always say I&#8217;ll do it tomorrow. But if it&#8217;s a birthday present, I&#8217;m going to get it done.\u201d These self-imposed deadlines can provide a greater sense of urgency to a piece that she might otherwise put off.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assembling Your Studio<\/h3>\n\n<p>When completing school work at home, Pauly had multiple spaces in her house to help her be an effective student and artist. Her trick was to keep her office space separate from her studio space. That way, for less creative projects such as essays, discussion posts, and Zoom calls, she had an environment conducive to clerical tasks. On the other hand, Pauly\u2019s home studio space can be more spontaneous, chaotic, and creative. Her studio was equipped with \u201cmy art desk, my easel, and an antique printer cabinet where I keep all of my big 24\u201dx12\u201d drawings.\u201d Additionally, Pauly found her muse in nature; her studio has a big window, \u201cbecause light is really important to me when I create.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>When learning art and design while traveling, Pauly used a kit of art supplies she has spent years curating. Her travel kit was confined by the size of suitcases, carry-ons, and tray tables. Accordingly, Pauly became ruthlessly efficient when packing her art supplies. Her aunt, who is also a painter, gifted her a collection of supplies. \u201cI have a travel-size watercolor kit, graphite pencils, a notebook, and a water brush so I can paint without a cup of water.\u201d That way, whether she was on a road trip or flying internationally, she could always hone her craft.<\/p>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_86492\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86492\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-86492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7313-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo from Pauly's travels.\" width=\"296\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7313-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7313-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7313-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7313-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7313-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86492\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo from Pauly&#8217;s travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking Up the Creative Process<\/h3>\n\n<p>When Pauly exhausted every option and still couldn\u2019t create the work she was envisioning, she wasn\u2019t afraid to step away and take a break. By making space for her other hobbies, Pauly finds that those activities breathe new life into her work. In particular, she found inspiration outdoors, saying, \u201cEspecially in the springtime, I like gardening. That breaks things up and helps with my creative process.\u201d For Pauly, gardening allowed her to curate something beautiful, unlike anything she could draw or paint. Having multiple outlets for creativity helped Pauly think critically about her art without exiting the flow state.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to how nature can engage artists creatively, Pauly shared that she likes \u201cgardening because it\u2019s another space where I can create.\u201d Having a physical space she can go for inspiration helps chop up her schedule and keep her artistically inspired. Even when traveling, she sought out natural spaces to sketch and doodle in, such as the Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Alabama. Pauly would sit in the free gardens whenever visiting her sister. She loved how she could see the gardens \u201ccorrelate to my art. It&#8217;s been a big influence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>For many artists, traveling is about relaxation. Creative degrees for traveling students are no different. In Sarah Pauly\u2019s experience, she does her best work when traveling because it gives her more than she puts into it. For her, art isn\u2019t about deadlines, it\u2019s about communicating your growth through beauty. \u201cWhen you&#8217;re rushing through life, you don&#8217;t ever have time to catch up. Rest and stillness, that&#8217;s my process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking to Travel While in School?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Are you passionate about earning an art degree from anywhere in the world and looking to find an online degree that fits your schedule?
