Dude Where’s My Job? Episode 6 – The Follow-Up



A lot of people think that once you've finished the interview it’s all up to the employer. Wrong! You need to make sure the employer remembers your name and stays engaged with you until they make their decision. This isn't even limited to after the interview. You can keep them engaged from the time you submit your application to let them know you are still interested. You just have to make sure you don’t cross the line and become the…

Out of Russia-- The Hope for the World? The Anastasia Movement

"In Russia there comes the hope of the world, not as that sometimes termed of the communistic, or Bolshevik, no; but freedom, freedom! That each man will live for his fellow man! The principle has been born. It will take years for it to be crystallised, but out of Russia comes again…

Transforming and Unraveling

Hey all :)

Greetings from my cellular device! I'm having computer issues.

Hope everyone is having a great week. My week has been transformative and beautiful. I remind myself to stay receptive and constantly let go in these times. My mind is in the 26 yr old confusion of 'oh god what do I do with my life?? What do I want? Where do I go?' And where do I land? Each time I'm in this…

Classic Grilled Cheese and Spicy Tomato Soup – à la Vegan

On one of the few rainy days that LA experiences each year, it can be nice to have some good ol' fashioned comfort food. A recent winter rainfall stirred me to whip out a classic: grilled cheese and tomato soup. Both were fairly easy to make and made for a very scrumptious lunch. What…

Fitness For Fatties

“Every great diet begins with a single step… and there’s like a bunch more steps and eventually the journey ends up sucking and at some points you’re pretty sure you would be thinner if you hadn’t even tried... Doritos?” – Scott Keenan


Welcome to the mindset of the out of shape. If you’re like most people, you’ve probably attempted some diet or…

Somebody That I Used to Know

I think this has to be the most impacting song I've come across in a long time. My heart is broken, so I'm just wondering what he's thinking... Somebody. Somebody that I used to know. 85 million people can't be wrong. (hits on YouTube in 7…

Millennials and Marriage

Valentine’s day is only once a year, but members of the Millenial Generation have their whole lives ahead of them. It’s all right to have a sweetheart for a day, but how about a partner for a lifetime? According to statistics, 25% of Millenials say no.

What began with the Baby Boomer Generation has magnified in ours, with a…

Peekin in the Shadows Part II

Hello!!  Happy Saturday to ALL <3

Last week I was so overwhelmed I didn't know what to write.  Amidst the shadow reflections (some felt welcome to come out), other happenings, and an incredible event, I would have delivered a babbily boo of thoughts to you.  So!  Here I am with a much…

A Second Look at The Hunger Games

When I first read The Hunger Games, I didn't like it. I thought the first half of the book was too slow--and it sped up too much when it finally got good. But oh my goodness the movie looks awesome. I'm afraid that when it comes to books I tend to go with what's most popular, and I've…

Millennials Unite Against PIPA and SOPA

We stand united.

And not in the traditional way, but in the manner that has become commonly associated with Millenials: through the internet. Distinct to the Millenial Generation is the ability to share information and ideas very, very quickly through the web. Where there are new ideas, news, and opinions, there is debate. And where there is debate…

The Opportunity of Youth

Just a few weeks ago, the White Ho use unveiled some startling news. They revealed some strange conclusions drawn from a report that was compiled by Columbia University.

Campaign for Young America

It’s no secret: no one is working these days. While it’s nice to see that the unemployment rate is lower than it was a year ago (and shrinking still). Gallup still reports that more than 16 percent of people are “underempolyed.”

There’s another secret that isn’t so secret: Millennials are bearing the brunt of this lack of employment. Right now, nearly 10 percent of Millennials across the nation aren’t working. The driven, innovative spirit of our generation is going unharnessed. There…

A Millennial Perspective: The Cultural Window

No worldview (cultural, political or otherwise) can single-handedly define the Millennial generation. No Justin Bieber, Eminem or Lady Gaga will ever be able to say they represented the Millennials. You can’t fit “Millennial” into a box, because who we are, and what we stand for, transcends the limits that come with…

The Single Question

If you’re single and over the age of 20, then you’ve most likely encountered the questions. You know the ones. No matter how confident you are, how happy with your life, these questions throw you. And responding with anything less than complete and utter civility only reassures the asker, proving their original…
