Guess I’m working at Exxon this summer, bro.
That’s right, you’re looking at their new accounting intern. Holla.
I got placed in Detroit though. Should be interesting. Maybe I’ll see Eminem or something.
But yeah, I feel as if I’m on my way finally. I’ll go to Exxon for the summer, come back with five grand in my pocket, live it up my senior year. I don’t know what I’ll do when I graduate though. I’ll probably move back home for a bit, stay with my parents until I can afford to move to a different suburb. You know, every day I be hustling.
I don’t really know where I want to work long-term though. Maybe I can stay with Exxon, but I wouldn’t mind moving back to C-bus, you know. I’m an Ohio boy.
It’s a little scary though, bro. Thinking about life after college. I’m not sure if I’ll make it. I’m not sure where I’ll end up, what I’ll end up doing, who I’ll end up marrying, will she be able to cook or not?
All I’m saying is that hard work with a beer at the end of the day has gotten me this far. I just hope in 70 years I’ll look back at my life and think, “Yeah, I’ve done good.” You feel me, bro? When I look back on these days, I want to know that I slammed a lot of chicks, pulled a lot of all nighters, survived the cluster and still rocked out with my you-know-what out.
This is where the sentimental music breaks out or something. But yeah, who knows what will happen. I just hope there are keggers in the real world.

The thing you need to know about succeeding in the real world is that there is no such thing as success, and the real world is just an ironic illusion to the life that you have built for yourself.
Based on that statement, it is important to know that you can only be “successful” if you are true to yourself and don’t get bogged down by the demands of society and what it wants you to be.
The only way you can be true to yourself is to follow your fleeting passions all the way to New York City or abroad.
Once you get there, life will be cake. You can go to shows and find all the good coffee. It’s where you can really make a name for yourself.
Set yourself up with some solid dealers and find yourself a nice abandoned building to squat in, and eventually, before you know it, you will find opportunity after opportunity fornicating in your lap, making even more baby opportunities.
That is why you have to make sure that you bring a good camera: to catch all the unique moments that will one day make you famous.
The number one rule in success is leaving behind everything you know and everything that weighs you down. Break the mold.
That means that you have to pack up and move out, even if it doesn’t seem as if there is promise out there because there is.
The world owes it to us. It will hand us the tools that we need to get by just fine because, well let’s face it, we are the golden generation.
