swag = gold

So today LSU hosted a Career Expo for the students & alumni. I was afraid I was underdressed since it was suggested to dress business casual & I was just...casual. VERY casual. Luckily I wasn't the only one not dressed the part. They didn't seem to take me so seriously, though. In spite, I just grabbed a bunch of stuff of their tables. Not even sure what it was or the company promoting it, whatever I saw I pretty much took. It was fun. I filled up a whole totebag of promotional crap.
Me: "Can I have one of those?"
Random representative: "Haha your bag seems to be filled up."
Me:"My pockets still have some space."
-snatches & walks away-

They had some really cool stuff. Pens, highlighters, printer paper, notepads, quadrilles, flighlights, frisbees, A FUCKING MP3 SPEAKER SET. Amazing. I wished I took more than one. Damn. It was like Xmas morning for me. If only I took more! A few asians I saw brought their booksacks to fill it up. Smart move.

The expo was pretty cool & beneficial for what careers are in the real world. Oh yeah! L'auberge was supposed to have a station set up but cancelled. Whew! Now that would have been awkward. I didn't talk to any of the reps. Didn't even really see what companies were there. Noticed Microsoft though. The companies are mainly looking for seniors graduating college & entering the workforce anyways. I'll give it another go next year. Note to self: empty booksack.
