OH HEY, MAY
When 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.

Sure, you might be servin up a side of waffle fries, but heyat least you wont have homework!

KISS ASS Theres an approximate 1% chance you admire your interviewers pet ferret, porcelain kitten collection or pleated khakis. Dont bullshit a compliment, kids. (And if they have all three of these things, we recommend you apply somewhere else.) ACT COCKY Confidence is one thing; cockiness is another. If you find yourself veering towards the Mike The Situation end of the spectrum, step it down a notch or 12.

3. WEAR TOO MUCH PERFUME/ COLOGNE Axe may win you the adoration of females, but it wont win the admiration of your potential employer. Meanwhile, that Dolce and Gabbana? Superb for scoring sex in the Caribbean. (Commercials dont lie!) But a job? Not so much. 4. OR FORGET DEODORANT Sweaty palms are one thing; sweaty pits are another.
DRESS LIKE A SCRUB Whether youre applying on Wallstreet or at Walmart, no one wants to hire the kid in the jorts. Hell, no one even wants to hang out with the kid in the jorts. Think of your interviewers as TLC: No, they dont want no scrubs. (*sassy snap*)
8. ACT IMMATURE If you laughed at the aforementioned cocky, you need not applyanywhere. 9. SHOW UP HUNGRY Those 120-decibel stomach rumbles may scream I want this job! but more in a because-I-cant-afford-food way than a because-Im-qualified way. 10.

Award-Winning Entrepreneur
As the co-founder of not one, but two, companies Scanther and StuckonsAustin Archuleta is not only making big moves, but getting recognized for them as the regional winner of the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards. Hes off to D.C. in the fall where, if he wins, hell be dubbed the top student entrepreneur in the world. Read about his businesses and get seriously inspired now Describe your businesses, Scanther and Stuckons:
AUSTIN ARCHULETA:
Stuckons are, simply put, bumper stickers for iPhones. We sold a large quantity to the Mitt Romney presidential campaign. We are currently looking into getting collegiate licensing and selling them through direct sales online and retail. Scanther is a smart sign set and a mobile website in a retail box. Scanther aims to drive mobile/ social engagements while a customer is at a place of business, as Scanther smart signs drive traffic from a physical location to a mobile website. Customers of a business interact with the smart signs using QR, NFC or TEXT, which takes them to the businesss mobile website, which includes [all their info].
How did you get the ideas for these?
The product is a promotional product that can be mass-produced at an extremely low cost. For Scanther, we kept seeing rudimentary and unprofessional-looking signs pop up in restaurants and coffee shops that contained a QR code linking to the businesses Facebook and Yelp pages. We then realized that there was a much better way to drive social/mobile engagement of customers while they are at the place of business.
Snag some stuckons for yourself at STUCKONS.COM and check out scanther at SCANTHER.COM
My inspiration/idols are successful entrepreneurs and innovators such as Mark Cuban, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. These people have worked terribly hard to get to where they are today.
Have any advice?
With Stuckons, we realized how much unused advertising real estate exists on the back of smart phones around the world. 24 | MAY 2013 | STUDYBREAKS.COM

NOA BELILLTI: Saving the Earth One Bean Bag Chair at a Time
When we first saw Noa Belilltis bean bags, we couldnt take our eyesand later, assesoff em. Not only are Green Beans bean bags ridiculously comfortable, theyre also environmentally friendly, which is a concept we can definitely get behind. Noas rapidly expanding company outfitted the Google lounge during SXSW, and who knows where people will be lucky enough to lounge next. For now, we suggest you snag your own Grean Beans bagbut not if you ever plan on getting up, like, ever. Describe Green Beans:
Green Beans is a bean bag chair company that is saving the world, one bean bag at a time. Consciously making an effort to apply the reuse part of the recycling triangle, we take materials that cannot biodegrade in the environment, that are being produced in mass quantities and taking space in landfills, to create new, comfortable alternative furniture.

of an ocean, never todisintegrate back to the earth. We cannot ignore that these materials exist; we can only learn how to put them to better use until all production of the material has ceased.
Where do you see your company in the future?
We are helping to spread recycling and reusing awareness, but mostly by actively intercepting these materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill or float along the surface
I see Green Beans bean bags in living rooms, in dorm rooms, at tailgates, as the seating at events, camping, and in so many other settings. Once you sit in a Green Bean, then you get it. The comfort is undeniable, and it feels good to know that you are helping mother earth.
How did you get the idea to make and sell your product?
Well, I took a sewing class and a visual merchandising class here in spring 2011; I learned some sewing basics and about store atmospherics. Martha Stewart was just the final push behind my business.
But why bow ties?
The idea came when I was in a parking lot with a couple of friends. I was making bow ties for my friends just for fun back then. We were just talking and then one of them [was]
Just start. You have to realize that you have everything you need around you to start a business of your own.
What are you working on next?
Who knows! I always like toying with new ideas and concepts, so well see.

I make and sell bow ties, simple as that. Custom, handmade bow ties. But then, I expanded into making wedding invites, so now its a little bit funny.
being really persistent on making a business out of it. I seriously thought it was going to be one of those ideas that falls through. But it didnt, surprisingly, and Im still really amazed at my business.

WILLIAM NTIM: The Creative Mastermind Behind the Worlds First Square Neck T-Shirt
William Ntim, 22 Hometown: Ghana Major: 3D Animation
Will Ntim isnt hard to spot: Hes the one rocking the simultaneously simple and amazingly innovative square neck t-shirt he masterminded under his brand Certified Dress Code LLC. One to watch, his bright, stand-out-in-the-crowd designs with those telltale necklines are pretty damn irresistible. Lets just say, this is one time its hip to be square. Whats the story behind Certified Dress Code LLC?
I grew up in Ghana, Africa, and back home, I had about two clothing lines. It wasnt anything major, just a high [schooler] with ambition and zeal trying to make a couple of extra bucks doing what I love. I used to buy blank t-shirts, paint on them and sell them to my classmates. It was very successful all through high school, and then I had to come over to the states and continue college. First, I took the time to study life around here, the opportunities, and, you know, everything I could gather, to help me establish a clothing brand.
Snag a Square Neck Shirt From Certified Dress Code LLC at
Squarenecktshirts.com
I really wanted to do something unique and out of this world. It took me about a year to finally come up with the idea of a Square Neck T-Shirt. And finding a manufacturer, the funds, and the materials are another part of the story, but I wont even go there.
What plans do you have for Certified Dress Code? Where do you see your line in five years?
How did you get the idea for a square neck T-shirt?
I have a gazillion of them (if thats even a word). But on a serious note, I do have a lot of plans for the brand, and each day I make the point to take a step closer. In five years, I see Certified Dress Code LLC as a major worldwide luxury clothing brand.
What advice do you have for students with great ideas who dont know where to start?
Be ready to work! If you can really focus and do some serious research, then there are no boundaries. If theres a will, then theres a way.
What are you working on next?
What plans do you have for Shoppe Blanc in five years? Ten?
In five years I plan to open a brick and mortarstore, and in ten years I plan to have a few 26 | MAY 2013 | STUDYBREAKS.COM
My next step will be to tackle public relations. I have a couple of fun trunk shows coming up, including one with Lady Bones Vintage in the fall!
I created Shoppe Blanc with the vision of a small boutique. I wanted it to have that small, close-knit feel that boutiques normally have, and you never see that online. One thing Im working on is making sure Im representing a variety of body types in my pictures, so that my customers dont have to wonder how it will look on them versus how it looks on the model.
Professionally I started at 17, but as a little girl I set up modeling shoots with my little sisters every other day and would walk all around the neighborhood for good spots with my disposable cameras!
What has been your favorite gig?
Im not too sure how far I will take this, or how far it will take me! I would LOVE to travel around the world modeling. I have been given opportunities to model abroad, but the timing hasnt been right yet.
What advice would you give to aspiring models?
I did an Evil Eve inspired shoot with a 6-foot snake! I wore a vine corset, leather pants, crazy eyelashes, and laid in a pool of ivy with the snake wrapping itself around my body!
What are your thoughts on selfies?
Get experience. Love what you do. Start meeting people. If you have everything it takes, hook up with a wonderful agency!
Anything else you want to add?
I do them all the time. Gotta practice. NO SHAME! Duck faces? Not a huge fan.
I hope my grandparents never see some of the pictures Ive taken. Whoops ;)

Madeline Drake
Age: 19 Height: 58 School: Southern Methodist University Major: Business Management & Spanish Relationship Status: Single One thing that impresses you when youre out on a date? When a guy is comfortable being himself! I love if my date is just being real with who he is. Whats the creepiest move a guy has ever tried to pull on you? I was at a party and this guy kept following me around. I was super sketched out by it, so my friend and I decided to test it and hide in the bathroom for a second. When we came out, he was waiting by the door and asked for my number before he even knew my name! Needless to say, I said I had a boyfriend and peaced out! What are your plans after Graduation? Living in LA and running car dealerships! All-time favorite TFM or TSM? Louboutin red, ritual white, Tiffany blue. TSM.

Dont get marriedlet everyone else do it first. You dont want to be the first one to get married, trust me. Play a shit ton of golf. Golf is the universal language of business, other than money, of course. Get good at it, and youll be landing job offers, clients and climbing the corporate ladder with every drive, approach, chip and putt. For the love of God, dont move back in with your parentsever. Your parents will judge your social, drinking and sexual habits. Also, good luck trying to convince a potential hookup partner to come back to your parents house at closing time. Get your shit together and grow up. Live in a bar district. You have the rest of your adult life to live in the suburbs. This is where the magic happens in your city. Be a part of it. Schedule an annual reunion weekend with all of your friends. Every town has awesome pub crawls, fundraisers and sporting events every year. Invite all of your friends one year and watch the feathers of debauchery fly. Travel. Im not talking about those weekend trips to see friends, Im talking about going to places in the world youve only seen on TV. Set aside some money each year to go somewhere badass and turn yourself into the envy of all your Instagram followers. Dont live with your best friend. Instead of spending the weekends out on the town with one another, youre the first person you and your friend see after you wake up and after every depressing day at the office. Economize your happy hour. You cant just start drinking when it gets dark anymore. You have to be economical about your alcohol intake during the work week. Start drinking at 6, pound some waters and Advil, and be in bed by 10. Limit your visits to your college town. It sounds crazy, I know, but dont turn into the guy or gal that comes back every weekend. Quit living in the past, unless all of your friends stuck around for a victory lap. Never go more than three months without taking a weekend trip to visit one of your friends. Get as sloppy as possible for 48 hours, bar hop, eat a bunch of pizza, crash on the couch and relive the glory days.

CAPITAL CITIES
Sam and Chris spoke with both Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian of Capital Cities at SXSW after their show, but due to the nature of strictly audio recordingand copious mimosaswe have no idea which of them said what. But suffice to say that theyre two badass guys...and very, very tolerant.

Chris, me and an awkward thumbs-up with the band
SB: Sowhats your favorite capital city? CC: -Thats a good onefavorite capital city. Id have to say ParisParis is my favorite capital city. Paris, France. -Lima, Peru. SB: I dont know if this is really your niche, but any panties thrown onstage? CC: Sadly, no pantiesnot yet. We havent made it yet. SB: And its South By, its gonna happen CC: Hopefully! SB: Even if I have to make it happen CC: Our first panty throw, from Chris. As long as theyre not tomatoes, were happy. SB: Do you have a favorite venue or bar that youve been to here? CC: -Last year we played at Antones at the Pandora event. That was really cool. -What was cool was the little artist lounge they had next to it that we took over for the whole week. We basically brought 30 friends every night and just drank all their shit. SB: What are yall listening to right now besides yourselves? CC: Sadly I listen to a lot of myselfIm going to be honest with you. But only because were just wrapping up an album right now (Someone named Jeff walks by and yells to them.)
44 | MAY 2013 | STUDYBREAKS.COM
CC: Fifteen would knock us outAlcohol fucks up your voice. We actually, we gotta sing well, because there are two of us singing so we gotta be perfect, on point. So if we drink before a show, were gonna sound like shit. SB: I was actually gonna ask you that! Its not often you see two main singers CC: In the studio, a lot of artists, a lot of bandseven with one singerwill double up, triple up, quadruple up voices, and it just sounds so much better, so we figured why not do that on the stage and then why not do it in the recording as well. SB: It was pretty boss. Everybody had a great timeyou could sense the vibe in the crowd. CC: Thanks. Did you like our cover of Stayin Alive? SB: THAT WAS A COVER?! CC: Yeah, we wrote that actually SB: Gawwwd, Ive heard of Maintaining Dead, but Ive never heard about Stayin Alive.I was getting a taco at the time CC: OH! Speaking of tacos, whats a good place to get a taco? SB: Youre in Austin. There are eight million places to get a taco. CC: Alright, stupid question. Dime a dozen, dime a dozen.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
DRUMMER BRYAN SAMMIS BREAKS IT DOWN FOR US
on BBC, and I skipped class to listen to it and I was freaking out. I knew about that. The first time we heard it on the radio when it popped on was when we left band practice and got in our singers car, and for the first 30 seconds we just thought it was his iPod on. Its super awesome. Its pretty surreal. The first couple times I was in shock about what had happened, and now Im a little detached from it, which is a little sad. Its still awesome, but I wish I was still as happy as I was.
ON THE MEANING AND FOREIGN SPELLING OF THEIR NAME
We all live close, and a lot of the guys grew up together and were friends for 13 years, and it just made sense. Everybody comes from somewhere. The US spelling was taken; its not interesting at all but its the truth. Feel free to come up with some elaborate reasoning.
ON SIMILAR BANDS
scenarios like my drum set falling apart onstage. Its happened once or twice, where stuff has gone wrong and all my fears come to fruition so it can plague me for the next 6 months.
ON TOURING
Thats one we always struggle withI dont know if there is one. I really dont know. I think itd be cool to play shows with the Gorillaz, but I dont know if we sound like themI could die happy.
ON INFLUENCES AND THEIR MUSIC TASTE
If you talked to the singer hed say his influences were 90s boy bandsN Sync, Backstreet Boys. A lot of the other guys are into The Beatles, Led Zeppelin. I like my fair share of folk music. The Avett Brotherstheyre great.
ON HEARING THEIR SONGS ON THE RADIO
Were pretty boring...were not really partyers... Just kidding, I do drugs all the time.
ON PRE-SHOW RITUALS
Were pretty boring. I think a lot of people have stigmas about rock bands drinking and partying, but wethe collective wedont do that. Were not really partyers. Im actually the only one who drinks or anything, so we dont really have any crazy stories, nothing I would get in trouble if I told you. Youll generally find us on the road, talking to each otherJust kidding, I do drugs all the time.
ON HOW FANS CAN GET ON THE TOUR BUS
There was a time when I was still in New Orleans going to school when a song of ours was played
Ill usually smoke a cig before I go onstage and well do vocal warm-up. But for me its probably just stressing the fuck out and worst case
Theyd have to be ok with NOT hanging out on the tour bus, because we travel on the van. Theyd have to be cool and not creepy. Theyd have to be into debating stuff, because then theyd fit right in.
ON PANTIES THROWN ONSTAGE AND FAN(ATIC)S
NoI wish! Thatd be awesome. Nobodys thrown anything on stage. There are some people who spot our singer out places. Its more flattering than it is crazy. The day that panties are thrown on stage, Ill call you back.

Q: What tips do you have for someone getting a tattoo? A: Look through artist portfolios. Make sure the tattoo is what youre really want. Make sure your able to communicate your tattoo idea with your artist. Q: What advice would you give a first timer who wants to get their first tattoo? A: Dont move, and dont get an all white tattoo! Get something you love and dont worry about other peoples opinions on it. Be sure to think about your job and career when it comes to the tattoos location. Dont let price affect your pick in an artist. Remember its on
you for your whole life, so if it costs more, save up. Dont go the cheap route! Q: Any memorable stories and lessons learned? While tattooing a huge chest piece the guy was feeling light-headed after 5 hours but was trying to be tough and didnt tell me he was feeling out of it. He passed out and was flopping around. Then he came back to reality and didnt even know he passed out. Always eat before you go in and let your artists know if you get light-headed [easily] or are feeling light-headed during the tattoo.
