Fuck Yeah, I Made it on a Fuck Yeah! Tumblr

It is a great honor of my life (or day) to have one of my posts on a Fuck Yeah Tumblr, which are a fascinating microblogging trend.

And, it's Fuck Yeah, Poetry — I mean, it doesn't get better than that.

A Generation of College Loan Debt

The New York Times' look at the soaring cost of college is depressing but important to read. Our generation has been absolutely crippled by the cost of higher education, particularly as the recession has made it difficult to find decent jobs. Check this out:

Ninety-four percent of students who earn a bachelor’s degree borrow to pay for higher education — up from 45 percent in 1993, according to an analysis by The New York Times of the latest data from the Department of Education. This includes loans from the federal government, private lenders and relatives.

I'm thankful I went to college. I feel lucky that I used it as a necessary career steppingstone and that I graduated without an outrageous amount of debt. But isn't it sad I feel good about having "not that much debt?" I believe strongly that college is important for personal and professional development. But, sadly, I'm not sure it's been worth the cost for many.

Fuck Yeah, Fuck Yeah Blogs!

If you haven't noticed, there is a "Fuck Yeah __" blog for everything. I've previously discussed the Fuck Yeah Phenomenon and can't believe I still haven't grabbed a fuckyeah url.

Mashable today outlines how the Fuck Yeah trend went viral. Interesting: The first "Fuck Yeah" blog was fuckyeahtechnospeedandgirls (clearly written by someone high), and now more than 100 per day of the tumblrs created are "fuck yeah" something or another. It's kind of amazing to see how one phrase can populate all over the Internet.
