Have you ever had a melt down? Been on "Tilt"? Ever reached that point of no return where you feel completely burned out. I have. I remember the first time I felt burned out. I was taking 18 units, which I said I'd never do and lied, and had too much on my plate. I had a business paper due the next day, a midterm and a presentation. My paper wasn't going in the direction I wanted it to and it was read more... |

My brother asked me the other day, "Whats going to happen to advertising?" Though it sounded like a simple question, it was actually quite complex. Its a question that a lot of people ponder about. With newspapers losing their readership and everything shifting to different mediums there definitely is going to be a change. I must admit as an advertising major I was a little worried about the future read more... |

Ah yes, I'm almost at the home stretch! In just about two more months I will be ending my final college year as an undergrad. This means it's that time...the time where I am supposed to find a full time job. Knowing this, I attended San Jose State's Career Fair today and I'd have to say it was a bit overwhelming. Everyone was dressed in business attire with their resumes in hand read more... |

So there I was at the final table. I was by far the youngest player there and had just got involved in a crazy hand. The pot was going to cost me all my chips and my shot at the prize. I had one choice. A cold stone bluff. It was just me and an older gentleman left in the hand. The cards on the board consisted of two kings, a five, a queen and an ace. He wasn't betting at all and had checked his read more... |

Isn't it weird how social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are dramatically influencing the business world? I remember back in high school when Myspace and Facebook was perceived as a waste of time. My brother would always ridicule me for spending countless hours glued to my computer screen. Nowadays, employers are hiring people to build their social media presence. read more... |

Nickname #32, "Brown Man," a name that was given to me my junior year of high school. It was a cold, stormy, grey filled Friday and my friends and I just left our anatomy class. We had just learned about the functions of pigment in the human skin. According to my teacher, darker skin was able to hold more heat than lighter skin due to more pigmentation. Explaining why people get darker after they read more... |

"Back to school...got my shoes tied tight..." is the song that is always playing in my head during the first day of school. This is my second to last semester at San Jose State so I am pretty excited to be finishing up. This semester is unlike my other semesters though because my schedule is lacking exciting advertising classes. I am going to be learning about law and history this semester so no read more... |

It's Friday! Even the rain is gone for the weekend, and I am feeling alive. So, as some of you know, I love copywriting. How much do I love it? A lot. So much that I take it to the next level. I look at copywriting beyond the print on the ads. I see it as a play with words. I believe copywriting is everywhere, even in music. On my free time, usually on rainy days, I bust out my spiral bound read more... |

The Aftershock of Social Media
The Bay Area has its ups, downs and occasional shakes. We know these shakes as earthquakes. For some reason this week the earth decided to move around its plates more violently than usual. Unfortunately Haiti was struck with a 7.0 earthquake, devastating the world. My heart goes out to anyone who was affected by the quake directly and indirectly. Now there was something very different read more... |
