We’re The Millers

Every time I see Jennifer Aniston in a movie, I’m usually 50/50. However, I am excited that Emma Roberts is playing a homeless teen in this new film.

Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, Will Poulter, Kathryn Hahn, Nick Offerman, and Ed Helms. Sudeikis plays a pot dealer who hires a stripper (Aniston), a homeless teenager (Roberts), and his geeky neighbor (Poulter) to pose as his family in order to smuggle a large amount of weed across the Mexican border. We’re The Millers, directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story), opens in US theatres on August 9.

This redband trailer is NSFW – also the last part of this trailer just MAKES it.

Recent College Grads Equipped With Advice

tumblr_l2lx84w9k81qai1rho1_500

I noticed a slight trend today of articles posted on LinkedIn and all of them had to do with advice recent grads should take. Now in my last post, I discussed that advice should not always be taken in at once. For one, it’s too much information. Two, it’s not always applicable, but it will be when the “timing is right.” I can’t even begin to tell you how much I hate saying that last part and how much it has been said to me in the last few months, but in this moment right now, nothing seemed more fitting.

Whether it was a trend on LinkedIn or the fact that my talk is coming up and I am trying to solidify my material, every article I read today on this subject was beneficial. I wish that I had this advice when I came out of college. Would I have taken it as seriously? Probably not. That’s the problem that my professor  who’s class I am speaking to posed to me as a problem. Even though I would have this advice to give to these students, they may not see the value because they haven’t had the year of working experience that I have just had. Regardless, I do hope that my advice will spark something – a change, an opinion, or inspiration.

Here are the articles and posts that I read today:

Taylor Swift Reacts To Selena Kissing Justin

Did we just want to become Taylor’s best friend after viewing this GIF? Oh yes, we did. And it’s because we’d probably give the same reaction as she did. Call it immature, call it whatever you want, it is what it is and at the end of the day when you say your best friend kissing their ex, it makes you just want to go “blagh!”

And … this GIF, it is just straight LOL.

Things I Saw At Quadstock Yesterday

You wouldn’t think that being out of college for a year and returning back to it would make such a difference, but it does. I had a very unique experience yesterday and I won’t ever forget it. I won’t ever forget it because I’m about to document the observations I saw in this post. Mind. Blown.

  • The realization that the age range of yesterday’s students were between the ages of 17  and 22. I was potentially 6 years older than the youngest person there.
  • A hot dog basking beneath a bush until the eater decided to come back to it. I didn’t wait around for that.
  • The 90′s making a comeback in fashion. Terribly.
  • A guy wearing leopard printed genie pants
  • White girl dancing. It never gets old.
  • A girl grinding on a guy (no this was not in a club – yes, this was on Seattle University’s campus with other adults around) and the guy just could NOT keep up. It was hilarious.
  • Students smoking…they are so young.
  • “You know how some people go through their awkward phase in middle school? Well…I think people go through it in college too. It’s happening right now. It’s like cool if you’re ‘doing you’ I respect that, but sometimes that’s just not good enough.” – said Me.
  • Graduated students. Myself included.
  • Myself connecting with my former colleagues rather than students. This is how you know when you’ve grown up
  • People dressing for Quadstock like it’s Sasquatch. Silly kidlets, that’s next weekend!

All in all, it was a great event. When Meghan and I left last night while Super Mash Bros. were still playing she turned to me and said, “Well last Quadstock ever.” and at that moment both her and I looked back over our left shoulder and took in one last look of the massive stage and the bright and colorful lights.

We laughed. “God, that was like a scene out of Girls!” – Meghan

Can’t we all be a little bit more like her?

A Collection Part 36

Without even noticing, every “A Collection” post has some sort of a theme. I always enjoy going back and looking at the different sets asking myself what the common theme was. What was I feeling that day? Why did I select this photo, that photo, and this series of photos? I started writing this about a fourth into completing this post and I noticed that all of the photographs are pretty simplistic, but also muted. There are times when I won’t remember why there is a theme, but I think this completely embodies how I’m feeling right now. Somewhat muted, but it’s a refreshing time right now because there is so much that is unknown. Also – Seattle has the hottest weather in all of the country right now, which is incredible and NEVER happens. Funny, because you would think that these photos would be much brighter to resemble that, but they are not. Surprise!

{Follow Up} With Maddie Cary

Throughout college and surviving the business school, Maddie was kind of like my little rock. The girl never ceases to amaze me and she’s one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met. Here at Yow Yow! we’ve always supported her in her musical endeavors and will continue to do so of course. Her follow-up piece is something that I know will resonate with many of you and definitely falls in line with the post-grad 20-something talk we’ve been going off of lately. To give yourself a refresher, see her original guest post here.

The Sweet Spot

Hello Yow Yow! readers! The last time I took some time to sit down, and you know, casually reflect on my ever -looming future, I wrote about questioning my path to pursue a career in business (whatever that really means) and to instead jump head-first into a life as a singer/musician. Well, it’s been over a year since I wrote down all of those thoughts, and I KNOW you all have been on pins and needles wondering how I feel now (does sarcasm come across in blogs? I’m still so new to this…).

Since graduating from Seattle University in June 2012, I’ve been working at a search-engine marketing agency in Queen Anne. Before you ask, no, I don’t work for Google. I’ve been working at this company since the summer before my senior year, and over my two years there, I’ve gone from a part-time intern all the way to a recent promotion to Client Manager. I’m proud of these milestones, but I’m sure you’re starting to realize it isn’t quite that career in music I was always daydreaming about.

Social Media Anxiety: It Exists

tumblr_ll1tw3oAv51qzl7pko1_500

When you say the words, “Social Media Anxiety” out loud, it may sound kind of silly because after all – how can we take social media all that seriously? But it exists. I know because social media anxiety is exactly what happened to me yesterday morning when I was trying to promote a Yow Yow! post on Facebook. First I posted it. Four minutes later I took it down. Then I posted it to a friend’s wall and deleted it. And then I re-posted it to my own Facebook again. It was so ridiculous and I’ll admit I was a little bit embarrassed, but that is in fact what social media anxiety is at its finest. When you know that what you post will be seen by others that you are connected with, it’s hard NOT to feel self conscious. Is the status your posting witty enough? If it doesn’t have enough likes, is that a bad thing? Is my Instagram shot artsy enough? Will my tweet garner any re-tweets or replies?

The Today Show recently conducted a study in which they surveyed 7,000 American mothers and have discovered that 42% of them suffer from “Pinterest stress” – the worry that they are not crafty or creative enough. Yeah, that’s a real thing.

New York Magazine just wrote up an entertaining piece about the 6 Major Social Media Anxieties and it couldn’t be more spot-on. Check it out here.

Saved By The Bell Behind The Scenes

Throwback…Tuesday? BuzzFeed compiled some vintage photographs from Saved By The Bell back in the day of the cast behind the scenes. It’s a little strange to be looking at these because back when I was a kid all I ever saw them as were the characters they played. When you’re a character for that many years and that many seasons though, sometimes you just get stuck.

Macklemore Doesn’t Want OKC Thunder Playing His Music

I was chatting with Kevin the other day about feuds in music when I was thinking out loud about how Macklemore doesn’t have any beef yet! Now, I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone, but it’s not uncommon for it to happen especially in the hip hop industry. That conversation came up just two days ago – now lo-and behold – it turns how that Macklemore does have beef…with the Oklahoma City Thunder!

macklemore tweet

The artist was not too happy when he heard that the team was playing his song “Can’t Hold Us Down” to pump up the fans in their arena and who can blame them? That is OUR team after all!

Yeah, we’re still bitter I guess. But how can you not be when someone takes away your team?!
