Assuming I pass this background check, I will regale you with tales of debauchery and boredom next summer.The law school hiring process is called OCI. Hundreds of employers come to campus and pretend to value diversity and a work/life balance, and you pretend to not know that they have 1 black lawyer and require 70 hours a week of billable time. During this entire cycle, you should be

2010 MTV VMAs: Taylor v. Kanye - Round 2 - Fight!

2010-09-13T02:07:00.006-04:00

Yes, the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards stage design was amazing. Yes, Lady Gaga and Eminem won big. Yes, Drake, Rihanna, and Justin Beiber performed. BUT the thrill of the night revolved around 2 performances - Taylor Swift and Kanye West. After Kanye's infamous interruption of the young country singer's acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs, Kanye found himself excommunicated from the music

Calvin Richardson - You're So Amazing

2010-09-12T19:39:00.003-04:00

Check this new track by talented R&B singer Calvin Richardson. He's definitely been on my musical radar for a while, and it's somewhat surprising he hasn't become bigger than he is. Well, when I like something, I promote it, so check him out and the new song yourself. I've seen this music video about 4 times now and still don't entirely get it...maybe you will. Regardless, the song's great!

A third of us are unemployed, half of us can’t stand the jobs we’re in, and the remaining 17% might actually be content with our current employment. No matter which category you fall under, chances are you want to know, perhaps need to know, how to stay afloat and employed amidst the pandemic layoffs.
