Alright, alright, alright... (I did this in my best Matthew Mcconaughey impression right there (and also I totally had to google how to spell that name.) ) I have decided to heed the advice of friends and have joined up with this network with all you weirdos out there.

And by weirdos, I mean lovely people, some of whom I may know, most of whom I do not.

I'm Lincoln by the way, learning the ropes of networking. They say as a college student I should be spending half of my collegiate experience, at least, networking. So, here I am. My first official network post will be this--how the hell does anyone afford to board a horse around here? I've been away from Epona for way too long now and I miss her.

Also, I've only lived here in LA for a bit, and haven't had a ton of money, so I'm still trying to find the best places to grab a steak, because I'm from Montana and most of your guys' steaks I've had here are... well let's just say I prefer making my own. Though my grill is a bit suspect.

Pleasure to meet you all.

	Is that what they say about college students?? Because ... Okay, I guess it might be true for me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm quite bad at it. Unless networking includes playing video games, or pick up ball, or failing miserably at asking pretty girls out on a date. I always thought it meant setting yourself up for future success, and none of that really sounds like it accomplishes... that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Um... I think it could include one of those things. Maybe two. I've met some really great people on this network, though, so I guess that's a plus! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's probably what they mean then. Make friends, and then use that friendship as a form of connection when you can. Seems a bit diabolical, but maybe it's more of a way the world works sort of thing.

And maybe two? I suppose all three could work, if you're going into a gaming industry, having played video games with people, maybe someone starts a business, or gets hired somewhere, gets you in as a designer or tester. Basketball... just good friendships. And asking pretty girls on dates builds your social skills.

I've done it! I've mastered college.

	That's true. ... You're a bit intense. I like you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Am I? Huh... maybe I should chill out a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think so! I think it's great! (Reply to this) (Parent)
