Three things that bother me now

I know I probably shouldn't be posting twice in one day... but I think its sort of important to separate the first post from the rest. I would wait... to post again but I have a few things on my mind. And you know you can't let creativity slip away...it may not come back and then my blog would be derelict like my xanga.

Now that I got my first post out of the way... I'm practically a veteran now. Its time to shed that seriousness.

Onto more serious business: Business itself.
I dunno about all of you out there but I am currently looking for a summer internship in...finance. Yes I know given current times it may not be the most wise thing to do and let me tell you it certainly isn't easy. (By the way if anyone happens to know about any open positions leave a comment and I would happily send you my resume) In any case nobody wants a sophomore intern. And those who do think to themselves, who the hell would want an internship his sophomore year? That is some driven ass kid. Lets have a minimum GPA of like 3.5 yeah that sounds like a good idea. So it gives a large percentage of the college population a 0% chance of acceptance. Moving on from that I recently went to a Career Fair at Rutgers. I attended with Julie and Will. Now these are some good kids. I dunno where one could find some better candidates. So I was kinda stressing out about this career fair because my dad was like oh yeah they may give interviews and like its good networking...serious stuff. It was. But not in the same way. First of all the day was dark, dreary, and rainy days...all days. I was nervous too so I was not feeling ok. In fact I think the bad weather is a good example of what looking for a job is like right now. So basically the whole "experience" consisted of handshakes exchange of materials and a brief like 2 min talk with some manager of recruiting or something. I dunno I guess the experience was sort of unsatisfying. Most of the time they were like sophomore? pssh. And thats not the worst of it...what was most unsatisfying was that I have heard back from nobody. Who the hell attended that career fair? Harvard 4.0 scholars who major in like saving the world? From what I heard will got no career action afterwards either. And he is deans list material. Man lets be serious looking for jobs in finance really make even good students feel like they are losers. I was so depressed when I saw I didn't meet a MINIMUM GPA REQUIREMENT. But its kinda too late to start making drastic career changes. Screw it! Its time to buckle down campers! Its Showtime! (Im serious about the resume thing too)

Secondly
Microsoft Windows 7...I went through all this effort to try and get that beta because my bro's laptop is screwed up and I was like oh Ill just reformat and install windows 7 I heard its better than vista anyways. And I got to the last step and I clicked the button for download now... and it didn't work... Screw you microsoft...Why have you been so damn failure recently? is Apple putting the pressure on so hard that you can't freakin do anything right anymore? Vista...blows and you have like trial periods for parts of Microsoft Office? Internet Explorer...Major security flaw? Step up your game Microsoft. Its time to realise this...the only reason I am still on windows is that you have the most software available. Screw the rest.

Third and lastly for tonight,
Man this winter break totally was lame. I didn't do like anything... I have been looking foward to this break ever since...summer break and it just wasn't the same as last year. Maybe its because I didn't go anywhere...at all....not even once....maybe thats it. Or maybe its because Im looking for a job now. Nah, must mean Im getting older. I hear that your life gets worse and worse as you grow older... But lets be serious now for this last statement: At least Im not a high schooler anymore...but too bad Im not in elementary school.

And that is the lesson for today

  1. I figured out the answer to most of your problems. You just need to get a MacBook. Companies love Apple users because they are creative, you don't have to deal with Windows, and people will hang out with you more because everyone loves a Mac.
