Senior Awaits the Curse of the Recession

Posted by Lady Mel On Wednesday, January 28, 2009 0 comments


As a graduating senior from Smith College this May, I should be happy and content as I leave my footprints and college self behind. I should be. I plan on leaving the place I called home for the past 21 years in the next 6 months or so (woot!) and live in a place on my own and find a fabulous job in the online media/Internet advertising industries. Some of my potential future employers are Google, Yahoo, Huffington Post, E! Online, and probably NYTimes.com, but judging from its recent revenue and job losses, so I am a bit skeptical. Yet Google, Yahoo, and all the other media companies I just mentioned have had to layoff thousands of their hardworking employees due to the same economic implications.

So, if I can hear that another U.S company has laid off another employee, I am going to scream from the top of my lungs!! ARGHH! Why am I graduating during a tumultuous time in modern history where people are losing their jobs, salaries have been frozen, families are losing their homes and financial savings (stocks,mutual funds, retirement plans, pensions,etc.) and my self-confidence is questionable?

Yet, the little light inside me believes that I will gain the confidence to market myself to corporate America and overcome the hypocrisy of the world. I am an optimist and cynic after all. I think I am smiling right now. :)

A New Presidency... President Obama

Posted by Lady Mel On Thursday, January 22, 2009 0 comments


Hello, everyone. I, millions of people across the globe have seen President Obama sworn into office this past Tuesday. This event will be momentous to future generations to come, considering that we the people have elected the first black and global president in the history of the United States. Yet, the thought of having this great man and orator as our new president has not hit me yet. For older generations who fought for civil rights and human dignity, I can see the emotion and this "dream" to finally become a reality, yet as a 21 year old college student in New England, I do not see it yet. Do you get what I am saying? lol. What do you guys think?

On more Youtube madness news, has anyone seen Asa the Comic's latest video titled "Obama's Inauguration Party Song"? His video made me cry for joy! Watch it here on this link.

Thought of the Day

Here is a question to my fellow bloggers:


Is there really an economic recession in this country? It's hard to tell.

Right now, I am on the Internet and I am suppose to be sleeping so that I can woke up bright and early and continue writing my papers. Never mind that... I want to start a weekly wrap-up of my opinions about randomness and topics that intrigue me. Let's give this a spin:

1. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon married? I did not see that coming.. And she did not file a pre-nup before her wedding?!!?! I'll give them at least six months.

2. The worldwide release of GTA IV: I am a video game lover. I've played the old
Super Mario games as a kid. I love love love the violent content of the Grand Theft Auto games, but when I saw the sexual intercourse coverage on gametrailers.com the other day, I did not know if I should be appalled or not. It is just sad that the many male hardcore gamers that have brought this particular games are not getting laid in the real world. I will shed tears for you guys out there in my sleep.

3. Miley Cryus: Your Vanity Fair pictures are phenomenal but I believe you are going to lead yourself into a Britney Spears-esque lifestyle in the next couple of years. Save yourself!

I think that is all I have to say... for now..
