A new kind of blog for a new kind of generation. GRAD MEETS WORLDhas become one of the premier blogs where college grads and twenty-somethings come for career, money, entrepreneurship and wellness advice. It’s a new kind of blog that has resonated with a new kind of generation. Amanda a nd Grad Meets Wo rld have been fea tured in The Consumerist, Brazen Careeristand Forbes Woman. Furthermore, in 2012 Grad Meets World was named as one of the 100 Blogs You Need in Your Life by Leaving Work Behind. The concept is simple: a response to the negative light the media constantly sheds on Gen Y. The message is clear: We’re not screwed. We’re not entitled. We can make work out of our passions. We can create the post-grad life of our dreams. Think ambition junkie meets career development...with the added twist of Gen Y spunk and a sprinkle of spirituality. That’s Amanda. Or as she puts it, “I’m a Gen Y Enthusiast. I’m the one that saysYES YOU CAN when society says otherwise.” Amanda’ s person al storie s of movin g back ho me after c ollege, u nemployme nt, side hustling, working in the recruiting industry, struggles with anxiety and fear of the unknown resonate with a generation who has been told the Recession has ruined the rest of their lives. Her perspective of hope, change and adventure mixed with a passionate work ethic has created a platform where Millenials have sought refuge and inspiration. Part pep-talk, part strategizing and part business GRAD MEETS WORLD strives to provide personal development advice that flows with an emerging generation of socially, spiritually and economically conscious go-getters. We are a community who believes in the power of people, the ability to create our lives and that happiness is a choice. Witty, straight-shooting, practical and slightly unconventional, GRAD MEETS WORLD is an invitation to cultivate a life of creative fulfillment, chase your dreams and live as authentically as you possibly can. It’s a testament that you can have both money and passion. It’s a driving force that exudes the belief that societal and economic pressures will not define someone’s life. It’s a credo for the creative individual, the entrepreneurial spirit and the person who wants to live a conscious and fulfilling life.
