Ah the argument of an old man.

he's damn right we're vulnerable and competition is stiffer. It's ridiculous what hoops you have to jump through just to go to highschool in highly populated areas. Instant gratification is the newest trend in capitalism. that and, what have you done for me lately? So everything has to be newer, faster, better, Faster, Stronger. That's just life now i suppose. For those of us who choose to take a more relaxed approach, outsiders if you will, life can still be more fully enjoyed on a more personal level without the ever expanding reach of social networks of people you've had a drink with before or have seen you do that thing you do by chance.

So moving on, is it funny or tragic the way you call the neighbor you grew up with and that person you added yesterday on facebook, friend? the prof touches on that but really, it's pretty bad considering how impersonal our personal lives have gotten. Not to mention that someone somewhere has everything thats ever been on facebook or myspace stockpiled somewhere and can blackmail us in the years to come, heres to you future politician, your career is now null and void via facebook.

The workforce is going to be extremely hard to break into. Think about applying for a position you're not connected to, how many other undergraduates are also qualified for your job? are you the best? its depressing to think about so stop now. So instead go to graduate school. uh oh, whats that? other students, like, yourself, from across the country want to do the same thing? are you the best? are you guaranteed a spot? are you stressed yet??? you should be.

I am.
