Instant Gratification – Staying True to Gen Y Stereotypes
January 5, 2009Extra, extra, read all about it! Being obsessed with instant results is a part of being a card-holding member of Gen Y. Critics of Gen Y, including this guy say we’re too lazy, we’re spoiled, we have a tremendous sense of entitlement and that we’re too self-centered. Well, sure, I slept in until noon every day of my winter break, I treated myself to fine wine and new clothes when I should have been saving for spring semester, and I emailed my career mentor and asked her for Christmas present advice – does that make me a bad person? Maybe. But it’s unlikely. As someone recently told me, my “pros far outweigh my cons”. And to you sir, I say duh and thank you.
Not wanting to disappoint the critics, and staying true to the perceptions of Gen Y, I needed some instant gratification after realizing the results from killing myself on the treadmill won’t show up overnight. So while I wait for the calories to burn, I thought I’d give my blog a facelift.
I imagine like my hairstyle, this new blog theme won’t hold for long – but it’s way better than that basic WordPress default.
I’m off to my first class of spring semester. I’ll update everyone on what I decided to do about school after I get out of class, so sit tight – it’s coming.
How was your holiday season? Do you have a resolution? What do you think of the new look for Sydney On: PR & New Media?

Your posts are always witty! Enjoy reading them and more in the future! Good luck with the Spring Semester.
