ugh. sorry.

i know its been awhile. i was able to wade through the hell that is finals week and come out on the other side unscathed. and with three A's no less. not that i'm bragging : )

anywho...i'm now back in Mankato for the week. actually over a week. and its strange not having anything to do. what i really would like is to just veg out for a few days. however, i know that there are certain people i need to see. things i need to do. all in good time. lol.

i follow this "branding guru" on Twitter. his name is Dan Schwabel. i think he really knows his stuff. he must be a consultant or something. i found out about him from other business guru. anyway, i think he's good. he has a blog about student branding that i find helpful. i think i'll only find it more helpful as the real hardcore job hunt ensues. so anyway, on his Twitter a couple of days ago he had a link to this article called "The spoiled millennials are about to get served a big slice of humble pie." so if you wish...you may go and read the article since i will now be discussing it. haha.


first...i can't decided if i'm super offended. the writer goes on and on about how people my age are spoiled. we think everyone's a winner. but at the same time, i know that growing up i was so frustrated by the kids who got everything handed to them. new cars. new clothes. new cell phones. and i remember being in classes where there wasn't a definite winner. everybody won. so i understand how the perception of my generation has become this way. which really sucks. and i'm hoping thats something i can overcome when i go out an apply.

the statistics in the article were startling too. i'm nervous enough as it is to try to find a job when i graduate. and i'm more nervous because as i've been told many times now the key to getting a job is networking. which i can't figure out how to do since every place i want to work is across the country from where i am.

momentary break from this rant to tell you that my dad is now giving my cat snoopy a bath. i can hear him yowling in my room. poor guy. he shouldn't have gotten so dirty.

anywho, i thought the article was interesting. wanted to share it. and went on a little about my own situation. ha. maybe there'll be more from Mankato soon since i have time on my hands. until next time...
