Facebook is the best and worst thing in the world. It is an all too easy distraction when trying to avoid homework. Just when I was starting to get bored with Facebook (shocking, I know!) the whole "25 things" note got started. I agree with my friend Molly who said that she likes reading other peoples' but is not sure she would write her own. Leave it to Facebook to come up with new methods of distraction.
HOWEVER, I saw this article and was very excited because it proves there are very beneficial uses for Facebook! Check it out, maybe I can "facebook my way" to a job.

There goes my back up plan...

So many people have Starbucks as a very good in-between/on top of a part time job/still looking for a job/my job while I go to grad school back up plan, mainly because they have good benefits. Hopefully, they won't have to lay off any more people!

I am starting to come down with something...
And that something is a little thing called senioritis. I know it is real because A. it is on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senioritis) and B. because every time I think about graduation I get a little sick and C. because I will do anything to not do homework, for example watching things like Tool Academy on VH1.
It doesn't help that every time I tell someone I am graduating in May they say something like, "oh man that is too bad, the job market is really bad right now." THANK YOU, I KNOW!!! As if I didn't already hyperventelate at the idea of being an adult out in the real world with no such thing as a spring break. But to be a jobless adult too, with a permanent spring break?
I decided I needed to so something, so I thought I would start a blog about the job search process. Kind of a "by seniors, for seniors" thing. So, feel free to add your own advice, senior or not, about the whole "I am graduating, now what do I do," dilemma.
I am going to post news stories, job search tips and links etc. as I find them. Feel free to do the same. Maybe we can help each other out, or at least give moral support.
And because I have a lot of smarty pants friends who are going to grad/med school, feel free to vent and give advice about that process as well.
