"Real World" by Cody Sullivan
Some people have asked me if I’m ready for life outside of academia, outside of internships.
Answer
Two weeks left of school for me. Soon, I’ll graduate. Big boys’ table, here I come. Booster seat, monsieur? Non, ça va.
Teachers will retire to honor me.
Fact 1: I now possess a whale-load of knowledge. I’ll drop bodies with this mental ammo.
Antique Rivet Interview:
Boss: What are your qualifications?
Me: Hmm, let’s begin with my essence.
Fact 2: I know the real world. One time, two people got into a fight about whether I invented it.
Real world: full of disgruntled, attractive people living together in one house. Some confrontational. Some wicked hetero. Some with cleavage. Many with diseases.
MTV provided this insight. Thus, I walk into the world prepared.
Fact 3: My innate sense of direction is better than any Google map.
Conclusion: I’m now really smart.
Bigger Conclusion: I once taught a paradox to a small child to purposely explode his head. It worked. That’s a real world application.
So, am I ready?
I think so.
