We are people. Even though there are probably many of us seeking jobs each one of us is a person. Therefore you should not treat us as meat. If we are building an email report please dont just drop us like a middle school boyfriend if you’ve decided to not hire us. Let us know. An email that just says “thank you for your interest but we’ve decided to go...

there are few things in life i will ever love more than finding myself wholly and inescapably caught in the rain. with no umbrella, no jacket, no real reason to run for cover. just walking, as the rain pours in sheets down upon me, and all i can do is look up and smile. smile as it streams down my cheeks, as it beats down upon my shoulders, as my pants soak it up and my hair clings...

Having a competent professor really emphasises the flaws of our program.
Aesthetics? Ignored. Design theory? Ignored. Using the same software as the rest of the contemporary design world? Ha, if only. You could tell me to supplement my education with books about aesthetics and theory, but that’s not what I’m paying for and it’s definitely not what I’m staying in school eight years...

i’m going to be in school for the rest of my life, and i’ve no idea what for anymore. is there a support group for that?

I just recently read the book Waiter Rant subversivly written by “the Waiter.” It’s hard to describe my emotions while reading the book. I’ve been in the resturant business for four years now, which in waiting tables terms is really nothing but as every server could tell you, every shift feels like a year and a minute and a half at the same time.
In the book “the...

never title something before you write it.
portfolios are one of the most difficult projects i’ve embarked upon. how do i represent myself in 12 pages? how do i make people want to work with me in that short of a span?
