Animation majors

Yo! I haven’t been finding much success asking my questions elsewhere, so I decided to take it here. I don’t know why I didn’t do that in the first place, but hey you live and you learn.
I’m wondering what laptop experience y’all have! What models and specs got you through the program just fine?
I’m also wondering for my portfolio, what deserves the biggest focus? Right now I’m working on figure drawing, anatomy, values and thinking about going into landscape and storyboarding. I’m wondering what art you had in your portfolios that got you in though. What’s the most important thing I should prioritize?
I’m going through various 3-D and Maya programs to teach me the software, but I’m also thinking about focusing on 2-D animation so I can understand the fundamentals better than I currently do. I mainly just fishing for tips here. I want to know what got you in and what’s got you through.

For context, I’ll be a freshman, and I’ve declared Pre- animation.

Can the church be corrupted?

Some doctrine concerns have been brought up in my congregation recently about whether or not it’s possible for the Church to become corrupt. There seems to be a belief among members of the church that the church of Jesus Christ about the Saints can never be corrupt, and will last until The Savior comes back because this is the last dispensation.
I was wondering if anybody had scriptures or quotes that confirmed this belief? I know this is the last dispensation, but I don’t know if that entails this Church remaining pure until the second coming.
I know the priesthood won’t be taken, and overall knowledge won’t be lost or taken, but can’t this church still be corrupted? The book of Mormon is full of stories of the church becoming corrupt. I’m finding more scriptures in support of this perspective rather than against it, which is why I’m asking for another (unbiased) perspective.
Both my stake president, and previous mission president were unable to provide more than the statement that it won’t be corrupted because this is the last dispensation.
For added context, I mean the prophet and apostles becoming sinful men, or corrupted by personal gain rather than the advancement of the Lords plan. I know that there can be corrupt and evil priesthood leaders under them, but I’m asking about the head itself.
