Disillusioned

Oh, the herpes one was great, def. busted a gut at that one. Ppl can make fun of my face; doesn't bother me.

Haha, Serge...what will you pay me in return?

edited bc there is no hate for DÃœM - he is respectable; Thread God he is.

5,000....if only. That's highly inflated.

You guys really don't want to know the answers, anyhow. That I am certain of. I was a member of AF, then a made fun of a guy posing in his whitie tighties. It was all downhill from there. That is the one question I will answer.

Haha! Yeah. None of that being true.

These are my WeSCs from my Authentikkkforum days of old, back in Dec. when I first got them. When I get back to school I'll take a pic w/'em on as they are now (still not entirely impressive.) Ironic that AF got me into dry, but the raw/dry guys over there are good people.

Fade, that is an awesome photo, regardless of what cigar type.

worked half a year at a big 4 accounting firm after graduation, quit because it wasn't suitable for my strengths and personality. Now i want to go into art direction or something that can give me an outlet for my creativity...i want to write books, magazine columns, make movies, style commercials, everything. In 50 years I see myself being written down as a cultural icon.

Wow, well props for being honest with yourself and sticking to your guns.

I understand your mindset. Sometimes I feel that structured systems are for lemmings, and I feel every molecule of my being rebelling against The Man, whatever form he chooses to take.

Even in fashion, which is supposed to be a creative major, many get stuck in this sort of pre-fab route: Get Internship, Get absorbed, Work for big company, Make dough.

That wouldn't be so bad, but as I've learned more about the injustices in the fashion industry and have done some freelance art and stuff, it's made me want to branch off from the whole deal and, well, not be a slave to the industry. It's ironic, because I am a decent student, and all my tuition is all paid for this year via private scholarship. I am good at acting the role of Model Fashion Student.

But I digress...we'll see, I just need to graduate first!

Graduated April 2007, Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology.

Forgive my ignorance, but what sort of occupation do most people with that major end up landing, and what did you land?

I will be 5th-yr as I've said...hoping to land something decent in a big city. Forced internships are helpful for that.

ahh i remember when i was in the college application process...what a ride.

Applied Duke ED, got deferred and ultimately rejected.

Rejected from following: Northwestern, UChicago, Pomona

Waitlisted: NYU

Accepted: Michigan, Tulane, UMiami (Florida)

the day i got the Michigan acceptance i thought i had just won the lottery...

^ rofl @ lottery. are you still a student? what is/was your major?

just got rejected from cal poly's architecture program

o well

Ooohh...sorry to hear. That's the one I got accepted to but only if I wanted to deny my transfer credits. Lame. If I had gone to CPSLO I would have done architecture, but ended up AUTOCAD-ing clothes instead at OSU, rofl. OSU has interior design, housing design, and of course civil engineering, but I had decided I wanted to do fashion by then, anyhow.

Are you awaiting letters from anywhere else?

slim pickings but

[x-post from waywt chat ed.]

slim pickings but

Wow, reading this thread makes me realize how young some of you guys are. Explains why some of you are so angry all the time. I feel old. I be a Super Senior next year...5th yr. of college, baby.

Ok, so to be totally honest here, this isn't what I wore to class today, but I was cleaning out my closet and putting together potential work outfits and I wasn't sure if I liked this skirt, hence the outfit.

What do you all think?

Scarf: Hermes

Top: some cheapo brand from stitches or something

Skirt: Zara

Shoes: Louboutin ripoffs

ps. pls no +rep (or -rep?) because I'm a girl and that have nothing to do with my post or w/e, it isn't fair.

pps. Hi i'm new

Welcome -

I think you are a gorgeous individual. I think you won't have any problems getting along here, so long as you don't say anything too controversial and have "dyke" hair like me. I get neg reps all the time, some with very vulgar content; it's part of being polarizing I guess.

Your outfit looks good; I may choose a white blouse of a different material that better matches the weight of the skirt (silk, maybe?)

I didn't need a lot of my Vicodin after I had mine pulled. So I saved them for a really substance-laden celebratory post-finals week.

Haha...Vicodin makes me pretty sick so every op I have, there is so much left over. I usually throw it out, though, esp. since the last time it was liquid and began to look all crystallized after some time. I can't bring myself to abuse the stuff; I would vomit first! Ohhh...I should have sold it to you.

No one did. That's not what I meant.

Simply put, I haven't had any ‘me’ time and I was looking forward to having some of that before the show.

I guess not.

That sucks, I understand why you would feel put off by that. Last weekend I had a similar experience. I was gonna jet out of town after an art show that I had work in, drive 3 hours south to my parents' where I am now since my rez house shuts down over breaks.

Well, my guy-pal asks if I want to go out to celebrate our friend Jeremy's b-day, so I say, "Okay, that would be cool except I have to find a place to sleep." I book a couch reservation for the night at a house where one of my roomies is staying.

When we get to the restaurant, my friends and I are sitting there, and Jeremy is nowhere in sight. My friend goes, "Oh -- I was gonna take him out later for his bday, just him and I." Then he goes, "But my friend Bre is coming," and in comes Bre, this overly-tanned and overly-bleached blonde girl with an inch of makeup.

Ohh-kay, is this what I stayed in town for? Thankfully, I was not the only one perplexed at this; others were under the same impression as I was.

you are gross.

I think he's kind of hot, in a fisherman type of way.

Wisdom teeth = no fun. I got all mine out in one operation, plus I had a traumatic cyst from when I broke my jaw, so they had to biopsy that to see if it was cancerous (it wasn't.) I had it all done on nothing but valium and numbing shots bc I hallucinate on nitrous oxide.

I've had a handful of other jaw surgeries, two where I was wired shut completely, so if you need any good recipies, let me know.

Didn't you get run out of AUTHENTIKKKFORUM?

-'_________________________'

Yeah, I left it! Ahaha...

Merchandising management sounds like a fancy name for retail slave

Yes, you are correct. As a major, it's not good for a ton except to work in upper management, buying, or doing displays. It is the fall-back major for the people who do not get accepted (at the 2-year mark) into apparel design or interior design. It sounds ridiculous, but they only accept around 30 apparel and 60 interior into the upper-division per year. The good thing about getting rejected from fashion at OSU, though, is at least there are a ton of other majors available to you in case you decide you don't want to do MM. Like psychology or nutrition or even...agriculture!

no hippies '08

True. Just so I am not helpless when I get out into the "real world," I have almost completed my minor, which is an econ/accounting/marketing bundle called "Merchandising management." Essentially it just makes me a bit more useful without prolonging my college stay.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm thats SO interesting.

thank you for sharing.

i thought you went to design school or fashion skool or something? or just trade school?

what?

Naw, I am getting a BS. I know, a BS in fashion, have your laugh!

yeahhhhhh....

i agree with this.

its decent.

its full of hippies and in the middle of nowhere

it was sorta ehhhhhhhhhhhh from the start.

^ Kinda sounds like OSU.

I've never been rejected from a college, but I never tried to get into very many prestigious ones. I was accepted to 4 private schools, the Univ. of Oregon, and of course OSU, where I go now. I was one of those 4.0+ kids who did all the extracurriculars, but I went to this po-dunk private high school that wasn't accredited. I ended up doing community college for 2 years anyway, making all my high school stuff good for nothing but scholarship credential.

I got into Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo, but they wouldn't take my transfer credits and basically told me I would be a liar if I went there and said I'd never been to college before. Plus it was out-of-state.
