Rainy Days

One of the biggest troubles I have been dealing with while I am transitioning into the world of an adult is rainy day fashion. Nothing can put a damper on your day like when your good shoes get wet. Your toes start to freeze and throughout the day the shoes don't even come close to drying. On top of that my hair poofs up so I look like a poodle and I'm just miserable. It's not like college where I could wear sweatpants and my hideous pair of rain boots, I looked like a exhibit in the MoMA but I was warm and comfortable. Unfortunately it is time to grow up. Growing up does not mean being miserable and cold though, the best place to start is a good pair of chic rain boots. Unfortunately rain boots are not the cheapest and tend to look tacky, but a good pair is essential and you only do need one that you can keep for a lifetime. Nordstrom's has plenty of options of rain boots varying in prices that are perfect for people in the professional world.

The Future is Near

IBM has developed an artificially intelligent computer system called Watson. Watson is a cognitive system that learns and develops constantly. Watson also understands English, so when asked questions he can respond directly. Using analytics the amount of questions Watson can answer is unfathomable. He appeared as a contestant on Jeopardy! and blew away the competition. Not only is Watson able to answer questions he can analyze certain situations. In the medical field Watson can help assist health care professionals when dealing with patients. Watson checks not only all the available journal articles but also the patients’ history. This allows people in health care to have a whole new grasp on the industry. Watson is a complex problem solver here to help propel us into the future.

 

 

 

Children of the Corn

Every once in a while it's fun to forget your age. Last weekend my friends and I drove about 40 minutes into Maryland to go to a pumpkin festival. We were probably the only group who didn't have children. So while the couples in their late 20s and early 30s were exhaustedly chasing after their kids, we were running with the kids. Ice cream cone in hand trying to find the exit in the corn maze we were really having fun. Hay rides, pumpkin patches, and a petting zoo in the perfect October weather it was more than enjoyable. This all served as a reminder to not grow up too fast. It's important to be a child even for a day before life as you know it flies on by. Try to do the random seasonal activities you normally wouldn't, I'm sure you won't regret it. A girl needs some hay thrown in her hair every now and than.
