Is There No Hope?
It's only been a month since I graduated, but I already feel lost. I feel like there isn't a specific need for a graphic designer anywhere so job hunting has been terrible. Actually, it's more like there isn't a need for a graphic designer without any real work experience so I've been resorting to looking for internships to gain some experience. Another alternative to full-time graphic design jobs that I'm looking into is marketing jobs. I mean, being a marketing person might need some graphic design skills especially when it comes to creating promotional pieces. And I did get a marketing minor, right? I almost landed a job as a data entry person for a company that's starting up. It would have been a temporary gig, but that would have given me a buffer time to find another full-time job for when the data entry job is done. Plus, it would have been something else to put on my resume instead of that thing about Studio Movie Grill. My buddy Azim tried to help hook me up but I haven't gotten a call or anything so I'm pretty sure that's out the window. Gahhh! Everything is just really frustrating and I feel like a failure for not being able to get hired anywhere. I guess I feel pressured because my mom is getting on my back from going out with my friends to work out and stuff. She's complaining about me wasting gas and stuff which roughly translates to "you better sure as hell find a job to pay for that cuz I ain't paying for your crap anymore." Help meee!

So What If You Got a Boy?
Just gonna give my 2 cents on this whole thing. This song has no lasting power. Whyyy is the song composed the way it is? It's so disjointed and I kind of hate how it keeps switching back and forth between beats. Is that necessary? The only part I even remember/keep hearing in my head is the "I got a boy 멋진." Everything else is just random crap thrown together to fill 4 minutes of song.
Many of 2NE1's fans are complaining about how similar the style is to 2NE1. The song style isn't the same, that's for sure. The clothing style is more like f(x)'s style especially during their NU ABO time. I guess Girls' Generations' promotion with "The Boys" seemed too unsuccessful in America so now SM Entertainment has to change their style again. Maybe SNSD's old image is too cookie cutter for America's tastes. American's like something that is a novelty hence PSY's "Gangnam Style" takeover. I feel like SNSD is now starting to imitate other groups in an attempt to stay alive. Or they're just trying really hard to incorporate what's popular these days (STUSSY and OBEY?). Or maybe SM has been focusing too much on promoting the girls outside of Korea that as soon as they release a new Korean song, it's trash. They wasted all their ideas on Japan. I mean, have you seen the SMTOWN YouTube? There's a whole section of nothing but original Japanese Girls' Generation music videos.
Not hating on the group. Just to make that clear. Just hating on SM Entertainment for slowly ruining the group.
