CollegeHumor: Real World Articles This Month http://www.collegehumor.com http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1730516 The Real World - What to Expect Fri, 11 May 2007 12:24:49 -0400 http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1730516 <table border=0 width="360px"> <tr> <td colspan=2> It’s that time of year again, where many students are harshly thrown from the comfort of their off-campus housing, back to the towns and cities from whence they came.  Young men and women across the nation become nervous as they head towards the inevitable next step: The Real World.

But fear not, former undergrads.  The Real World is not as scary as your parents would have you believe.  While you may find yourself with a new “job”, chances are, you won’t actually be doing any “work”.  As a matter of fact, I’m willing to bet that most of you had a harder time making Blizzards at your part-time job in high school then you will have with your new career.

Let me give you an example of what you can expect in a typical work day:

9:17 AM – Arrive at work late.  Think about the fact that no one notices or cares that you’re never on time. Look over the walls of your cube and ask if anyone wants to go get coffee or a bagel.  Another co-worker who is also hungover will accompany you.

9:35 AM – Return to your desk with coffee and bagel.  See if anyone left you a voicemail.  Start scrolling through your bookmarked web sites: CNN, ESPN, Gmail, Facebook, CollegeHumor.  Debate whether or not you should finally make a MySpace page.
