OH HEY, MAYWhen I was young, I had big dreams: I was going to go
to the University of Alaska, drive a pink convertible, and marry
Michael Jordan. When I was old, I realized I was an idiot. I went
to UT, I drive a black Elantra, and seeing as I wont be mature
enough to get married for at leeeeast 50 more years, my odds of
tying the knot with number 23 arent lookin that good. (Homeboy
probably wont be alive and dunkin at age 100.) POINT BEINGbesides
the fact Can you see the joy on my face? that I was a pretty
delusional childis MARRY ME MICHAEL! that you should FOLLOW YOUR
DREEEEAMS...but more importantly, adapt when you realize your
dreams are complete bullshit. On THAT note, we dedicate this issue
to all of you ca-razzzy kids who are crossing the stage this month,
and I wanna say WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! But not the kind thats
all seven strangers picked to live in a housemore like the
soul-crushing, pants-required professional world that thus far Ive
found to have a depressing lack of toga parties and keg stands.
OMGAre you excited yet? On a serious note, though, dont be thatttt
scared or depressed. Check out our guide to landing the gig of your
dreamsfrom interview dealbreakers to how to dress for success and
ways to rock your resume. (Helpful hint: Avoid popped collarsand
papyrus.) PLUS get the lowdown on the coolest companies with the
sweetest perks that are hiring students like you NOW! (Some of
which even have in-house bars, which might actually make those keg
stands a reality) And if all else fails, weve lined up 10 sweet
back-up jobs for you in this months Hot List. Sure, you might be
servin up a side of waffle fries, but heyat least you wont have

STOP EATING CRAPIt might be strange to wean yourself off a diet
of ramen and beer, but hey! You have a job now! You have money! You
can afford food that, ya know, requires teeth.
UNFRIEND COLLEGE KIDSWhile youre workin in the coal mines (or

MOVE FAR, FAR AWAYIt's tempting to casually "stop by" campus
uhhevery day. But after 23, we're sorry, ogling 18-year-old asses
just isn't acceptableif you get caught.
HIT UP OKCUPIDGetting laid is a lot harder sans trashy co-eds
and trash can punch, but luckily there are plenty of horny people
in the real world tooand theyre just a click (for a dick) away!

and occasionally got drunk and peed on the carpet? Turns out theyre
easily replaced with a disobedient puppy.
