| I'm a big magazine
reader. Any and every magazine - from Atlantic Monthly to Wired
to Vogue to National Geographic. Hell, I even read the articles
in Playboy. I'm always looking for a magazine that fits my age group
and my taste - a magazine that puts a lot of my interests in one
place. But they all seem to fall short, often focusing on things
I couldn't care less about. |
|
|
| This is me:
I'm 24 and I work an office job that allows me the flexibility to
go to school. That's important to me. I'm crazy about smart-but-still-fun
movies, I read a lot (books and magazines), I don't have $500 to
spend on a pair of shoes. I'm much more interested in becoming the
person I dreamt of being as a child. I try to have the courage to
believe I can do something risky, creative and adventurous with
my life. |

|
| I'm always looking
in magazines or surfing the web for what other women like me are
doing with their lives. Women dreaming big and just getting started.
Does anyone else out there have dreams about having a big house,
a fabulously interesting job and satisfying personal relationships?
Are you all having trouble reconciling that with the fact that you
have two years left in college before an employer considers you
a worthy employee in a mediocre job? |

| Do you remember
playing that game MASH as a kid? You know...Mansion Apartment Shack
House? You wrote down four names of people you wanted to marry,
four places where you wanted to live, four career choices, etc,...
and at that age, with your entire life in front of you and none
of the jaded self-doubt you developed later, you dreamt of becoming
an architect, a scientist, a movie star, the President. You imagined
your home in places like Venice, Paris, New York or Hawaii. And
those dreams felt good. For me, it still feels good but my practical
side has problems trying to work out how I can have it all. But
it doesn't stop me from striving toward it, though, with little
steps every day. |
|
|
| MASH is a step.
It's not a step in one direction, it's a step in all directions.
And it's for us. |
