Letter from the Editor

,
Well, hello there! Welcome to the personal lifestyle blog of Angela Dai, recent college graduate and homebody. I have made countless attempts to blog before and here I am at it again! Hopefully I will be more successful this year. Wish me luck! (Exclamation for emphasis! Oh, Nicki Minaj, your lyrics have snuck into my life yet again.)

Oh yeah, what will this blog be about? Well, probably whatever I'm preoccupied with at the moment. To be honest, the idea of documenting my life is the force driving my desire to blog.  Why not use Facebook or Instagram you ask? Well the idea of someone else having control over my personal intellectual property does not sit well with me.  (No thank you, I would not like to 'check in' where ever I am.  I would like to keep my possessions thank you very much.)  I know Blogger does as well, but Google controls the world, so I guess it makes it more okay.

Note, posts will be picture heavy, since to be honest who has time to read?
Also count on lots of fashion and beauty related news.  After all I am a girl. And all girls are shallow.

Perhaps this time will be different...
The abundance of hackneyed welcomes is driving me nuts.

In case you haven't noticed my brain switches gears faster than a middle school girl switches crushes. 

Having graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, International Studies Certificate, and minor in Chinese, I am saying goodbye to education at the present moment. I briefly cavorted with the idea of a PhD from MIT in economics for the past week but after logging on briefly to their website my desire has shrunk faster than a teenage boy find his mom on his favorite porn site. The job placement is quite promising... if you are desiring a career as a college professor at another elite university.  Academia is not what I have in mind for myself. I believe the private sector suits my tastes more.

However, what in the private sector? I am not sure. I guess I would prefer to do something related to my major.  Afterall I wasted the last four years learning about macroeconomic models and public finance.  It would be nice to apply it somewhere, but honestly, who do you know that does something related to what they studied in college? Maybe I can find government work and work at a regional Federal Reserve Bank? Now who wouldn't feel important doing that? Investment banks, wealth management, trading, financial advising...whooopeee!

Oh, a nice thought permeated my fluffy brain. This blog will prove to be a useful exercise in maintaining my writing abilities, as convoluted or critical they may be.

Well enjoy your look around. Leave a comment if it suits your fancy.
