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, drive a black Elantra, and Can you see the joy on my face? since I wont be mature enough AEL! MICH MARRY ME to get married for at leeeeast 50 years, my odds of tying the knot with number 23 arent lookin that good. POINT BEINGbesides the fact that I was a delusional childis 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 strangerspicked to live in a housemore like the soul-crushing, pants-required professional world. OMGAre you excited yet?

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.
6.
7 .
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.
FORGET THE THANK YOU You thank your Nana post-Christmas for those heinous sweaters you dont want. Why wouldnt you thank your interviewer post-interview for a job you DO want? Exaaactly.

6 STUDENTS FIGHTING THEIR WAY TO THE TOP REVEAL THEIR DREAMS AND PLANS TO MAKE IT BIG
WILLIAM NTIM:
THE CREATIVE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE WORLDS FIRST SQUARE NECK T-SHIRT
Will Ntim isnt hard to spot: Hes the one rocking sick streetwear and the simultaneously simple and amazingly innovative square neck t-shirt he masterminded about a year ago 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. We advise you jump on this opportunity and into one of his designs quick. Lets just say, this is one time its hip to be square. Whats the story behind Certified Dress Code LLC? Has your brand received any recognition?
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.
How did you get the idea for a square neck T-shirt?
Most of our designs are picked up by fashion bloggers and talked about on various blogs across the world. And I have been on The Hip Hop Shop as a featured designer as well. We just got on Instagram and, oh my, Im loving it!
What plans do you have for Certified Dress Code? Where do you see your line in five years?
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 TShirt. And finding a manufacturer, the funds, and the materials are another part of the story, but I wont even go there because this page wont be enough to contain all the sleepless nights and research I had to do. 16 | MAY 2013 | STUDYBREAKS.COM
You bet! 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 and its Square Neck T-Shirts as a major worldwide luxury clothing brand.
What advice do you have for students with great ideas who dont know where to start?

There arent many 18-year-olds that own a companylet alone a software development company that creates recognized video games, business software, apps and morebut Geron Adams is doing it now under his, Sudocolon. With multiple products under his belt already, hes destined for success, and we cant wait to see where it takes him. Describe your company:
Sudocolon LLC is a software development company focused on creating independent video games, business software solutions, and other applications.
What have you created?
HoldEm Preface is a Texas HoldEm Poker application which tells the user what hands to play or fold, and how to play them.
What do you think makes your games and apps great?
GigaSkim is a speed-reading application, which allows you to read text at a customizable word-per-wminute rate. Banklapse is a finance application which tells you how much money you are saving per month based on your income and expenses and how long you can retire with the current amount of money you have saved. The main feature allows you to see how your financial situation will change in the event of a financial emergency such as heart attack, divorce, stolen property, or unemployment.
I create games that I wish to play. I like games that are different and unique, so sometimes they are an amalgamation of genres. I believe the video game market is becoming saturated with games too similar to each other, so I am here to change that.
Have your games been popular?
The first game I developed was named Dungeon Healing Master. It was an action puzzle game for iOS. It was downloaded over 3,000 times and awarded game of the day by iosrpg.com, an iOS role-playing game database.
Amphora is a wine preservation and aeration device. It fits over the top of a bottle of wine and keeps it from going bad, as can often happen when not finished immediately. It also aerates the wine as you pour it, and keeps it from spilling if it gets knocked over. Symphoni is a bluetooth speaker system. It works similar to a jambox, except that it charges via magnetic attachment to a base. It can be used as a 360 source of sound, or individual speakers can be moved around the room or house. What this opens up is a ton of options for parties, a multi-room music system, or a modular surround sound system.
Have you received any recognition?
Symphoni at the IDSA [Industrial Designers Society of America] Southern District Conference in Atlanta. A few investors have displayed interest in Amphora and my senior thesis, but it is still too early in the process to give names.
What are you working on now?
I am a type 1 diabetic, and have always thought about creating a better insulin pump. I am currently working on my senior thesis, which is a diabetes management system designed for Type 1 Diabetics. It will incorporate insulin and glucose delivery with seamlessness between monitoring and administration. An all-in-one system such as this will be the closest thing to an artificial pancreas that is currently orforeseeably available.
Amphora, one of Terences designs, aerates wine and also keeps it from going bad or spilling!
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.
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.
What plans do you have for Shoppe Blanc in five years? Ten?
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?
In five years I plan to open a brick and mortarstore, and in ten years I plan to have a few 18 | 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!
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 ;)
Four years, 4,000 Keystones and $40,000 later, youve somehow done ityouve graduated! But it turns out that life on the other side of the stageyeah, scary as shit. Its hard to re-adjust to the real world after life in a beer-scented bubble, butapparentlyits not impossible. Just take these tips and youll be damn good at being a grown up in no time.

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.
