  1. Hints of J.W. Anderson coming through here. The intermix of femine/maculine elements seems to be creeping up more and more. And the high socks look + derby lace-ups seems to the be the defacto trend for spring. Could care less for the clutchs. Liked the unusual use of color blocking from the shoulders and the the use of the hidden snap buttons. Dries Van Noten had interpreted the use of them recently and it gives a coat or jacket a streamlined/slick/futuristic look. And of course the "ugly" running sneaker trend. Best trend I've seen come out of nothing in a while.

  2. Shoes and accessories look great.

     

    Like the piping of color on the pants, the shoes, etc.

     

    Those white derbies with black stitching are the best item imo.

     

    Not a fan of the blazers and coats.

     

    Though the electric orange patterned items look great.

  3. My mom went to north Korea a while ago and I honestly hoped she would die because I find her annoying, in retrospect extremely edgy desire from me and my mom is awesome even if I hate her at the same time

     

    Negged you. Why would you ever want your own blood dead?

  4. My post history is pretty revealing, but nonetheless:

     

    I graduated last month from one of the best programs in the world for my field last month and I'm still looking for a job. By the end of the summer, something like 85% of people are full-time employed and only 6% or so (depends on the year) are still looking. It's incredibly frustrating and disheartening. My employer last summer didn't give any interns return offers, and none of the bigger banks recruited on-campus this fall. That's a bitch as an international student, because smaller firms are way more hesitant to sponsor a work visa - all else equal between a domestic and international candidate and it's thousands of extra dollars and uncertainty. Looking at "People You May Know" on LinkedIn is a disappointing flurry of "THAT guy is working at Google?!", like oh man it's painful, and I know it doesn't do me any good and I should be forward looking, but christ. I have a decent GPA, work experience, meh but passable extracurriculars, have had people look over my resume...even the head lady of career services was kind of surprised.

     

    Sometimes I feel like I wasn't prepared for this game at all. The Asians go back to Asia and the Europeans go to Europe and the school maintains recruiting links and huge alumni networks. There aren't that many alum to reach out to in Canada, and the small pool of Canadians here are a combination of: well-connected, ultra-rich private schools, scary brilliant dual-engineer types. I am none of those...leaves me in an awkward position. I don't want to make excuses for myself, what's done is done and the world keeps spinning and I gotta find something, but needless to say this isn't how I envisioned things going, and it stings to think back to my optimism and all the potential! when I was a freshman. I'm still on-campus because I can't leave the country while I wait for temporary work authorization, and I feel like I'm slowly losing my mind from the stress of not having a job and less and less physical human interaction since all my friends are gone.

     

    Worst part is I don't think I event want to do finance. I liked it academically but I hated my job last summer. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm actually passionate about and can throw myself into, which does me no favors as a recent grad... in an ideal world I'd take some time and figure it out but the longer I'm just unemployed the worse my prospects become and I'm going to have to start making payments on that student loan in a few months and then who knows how unemployment will affect grad/business school down the road if i want to pursue that or my future earnings etc etc etc etc it's 5:32am and these are the thoughts spiraling in my mind.

     

    Ok. Go kill yourself.
