Enrollment < Fun.

One of the best things about being a senior in my FINAL semester: not having to mess with enrolling in the upcoming semester. Technology is such a wonderfully frustrating part of our lives, and it seems that for every improvement made, there will always still be a few guaranteed glitches down the road.  We will […]

Didn’t you hear? The sky is falling.

There’s something in the air… And it’s not the usual birds flitting, flowers blooming, lovers making out all over the north oval for which this season is known. Spring is different this year. The world is different. We’re different. Everywhere I turn there’s this almost tangible aura of dread. It’s in people’s eyes, in their […]

Stiff Upper Lip, Chaps

So. Graduation’s knocking. And I, much like esteemed colleague Abigail, am freaking out, man. The natural reaction, I think, to realize you’re graduating into a weak economy with a pretty little piece of paper that says ‘I write good,’ but what’s a poor professional writing major to do? Ask you! Pretty convenient, isn’t it?

Countdown to Homelessness: 116 Days

Ohhhhh myyyyy gossssssssh.  Is it seriously time to start doing school stuff again?? I could’ve sworn I was just playing in the snowdrifts of Blizzard 2009!  Why is that time only flies when I’m sleeping late and eating home-cooked food, and not when I’m pulling 8 hour shifts at the library?  You fail, Time.  You […]

Nobody’s Pinocchio

For the most part, I consider myself to be a responsible human being.  I feed myself, I clothe myself, I pay my bills on time (save for one forgetful incident 2 years ago that will forever mar my otherwise perfect credit score), and I exist in the general population with relative ease and appropriateness. However. […]

They call me The Wanderer

Have you ever reached a point in your life where you realized you have no idea what you’re doing? Well, I came to that point last night. (To be honest, I come to that point about once a semester, but each time it’s just as fresh and new and terrifying as the last.) I don’t […]

Pinky and the Brain

Have you ever had a professor so brilliant, so inspired, so passionately dedicated to his students that he completely scared the Holy Hell out of you? If so, then welcome to my world. Dr. Gade is a well-known professor in the school of Journalism and Mass Communications (a.k.a. my home-away-from-home).  He’s one of those academic […]

Job Interviews (one down, oh so many more to go)

I had to wake up at 6:30 this morning!  That’s right, way too early for any other twenty-something that’s enjoying summer–probably even before the freakin’ rooster crows.  I was dreaming of James Marsden, I’m sure.  But after hitting my snooze at least three times, I made myself grudgingly get out of bed all for a […]

First Things First

So you just graduated in May, you haven’t found a job, and your lease will be running out before you know it.  What are your choices?  Moving back home, No!  Working for minimum wage, Maybe?  Couch surfing, definitely a possibility!  In all honesty, it’s tough being a grown up, and there still are jobs out […]
