We thought this comic was too funny not to post and just a reminder to never lose that drive after graduation.
If there’s one thing that I remember from my own commencement ceremony, it was when our chancellor (or was it the keynote?) said “Commencement is not the end, but rather the beginning. That is why it is called commencement.”
Scary? We agree! Google is also doing the same. Just another reason to think twice before setting your default profile picture! Last thing you’d want is your future boss to google your name and come up with an image of you doing a senior year keg stand at your graduation party
It seems that nowadays a lot of talented artists are recording acoustic covers of very popular hip-hop songs. Of recent, you may remember Marie Digby’s acoustic cover of Umbrella which started on YouTube, was featured on Star 98.7, and then blew up nationwide landing her a contract with Hollywood Records.
There’s another artist you should take a look listen at, he goes by the name of Passion. He has a great acoustic cover/mix of Can’t Help But Wait (by Trey Songz) and So Sick (by Neyo).
So what are you waiting for? Record a cover and post it on YouTube before you graduate! Better yet, check out Veoh, where you can upload your videos and have it automatically syndicate it out to YouTube, Myspace & Google Video.
You might be discovered, you might not, but hey in a few years you can look back and laugh at the video (and comments) or even share them with your co-workers!
