After dinner at a Mongolian restaurant tonight my friends and I were chatted upon by the manager. There sat seven college aged women, attractive and alluring. He couldn’t resist pausing to offer his banter throughout the meal; and as we prepared to leave he offered dessert, coffee, a blow job, whatever he could to speak with us, forward New Yorker as he was. AM’s attempt to squelch his loquacious lips lead him to ask what college we attend, and then to ask our majors.
One by one we revealed the intellect of our table. We seven women could collectively ruminate on the theories of Kant and Descartes, and dissect Dostoyevsky, Freud, embryonic yolk, the demise of Mubaarak and patterns of demographic movement. We can converse in five languages (French, Spanish and Arabic twice over), and draw upon the self dicipline of athletic, musical, and performance arts with which to direct our character. We are capable of expressing ourselves in outlashings that cause shock and awe. We design for ourselves situations that call on great courage. We reassure. We let loose. We investigate. We design. We plan. We party. We explore. We love. We defy. And most importantly, we are not afraid to Learn.
Life outside of college has been a hard, cold, slap in the face. I do not have a job that is career oriented. I could do the work I am doing at the same hourly wage without my 4-year-private-liberal-arts-college degree (which promised me success outside of the bubble). I have days when I wish I were anywhere else. My after college plan has finally lifted its vow of reticence, slowly revealing the path I will take. I am now seven months out of college and I am no closer to professional school than the day I accepted my degree, but I can again envision more than a glimpse of hope.
To remember why and how I have come to be where I am today, I have needed great support by my friends both in college and out. I have relied upon social gatherings to regain my balance and serenity. Dinner tonight reinforced that which I sought. I was surrounded by six educated, strong-willed individuals. I realised our capabilities.
The people that we choose to surround ourselves with speak miles of our personal character.
I choose to surround myself with beautiful, strong, talented, intelligent WOMEN.
and that speaks worlds on its own.

Yeah, I’ve got that.

“I want adventure in the great, wide somewhere. I want it more than I can tell. And for once it might be grand to have someone understand. I want so much more than they’ve got planned.”
I chatted with a close friend (and recent grad) on Sunday night about a few things that were bugging me. Let’s just say she’s “adjusting” to life post-college.

I think I may be canceling out the effect of my inspirational quote with this post…oh well!
Penny Land and I came up with a couple of rules yesterday that we would like to share with the girls. Feel free to give us input.
1. A girl is only allowed to “dibs” 1 boy at a time.
2. Once a girl “dibs” a guy, she must act on that “dibs” within one month. This means you must say “hi,” start a conversation at a party you are both at, make out, smile at, fuck him, etc. Take your pick. It doesn’t have to be a big thing! Or it can be :)
3. If no move is made within one month, your “dibs” is over.
5. If you make a move within one month, you get a one month extension on the “dibs.”
5. Girls with boyfriends are not allowed to “dibs” other boys. You have a boyfriend! How is this fair?
These rules are created to prevent drama and to ensure that all the Single Ladies out there still have some men they are allowed to chase. Thoughts?
