“cause there’s nothing wrong with living an honest living
but be honest, are you honestly living…
are you living your life just for the weekend
or are you just living life just on the weekend”

Smart donations! Love seeing how an interface can better benefit good causes.
Alllllll myyyyy liffeeeee (que K-Ci & JoJo) I’ve been going to camp. It is something that has hugely impacted me. From teaching me to love and appreciate mother nature and her glory, expose me to new activities and people, and push me out of my comfort zone like performing on stage for skits and my first dance WITH A BOY!
This morning I went to donate to one of my friend’s who is fundraising to for UCLA’s UniCamp (a camp I volunteered for in college) and saw their updated donation website. Not only was it no longer written Courier New, but it had a smooth donation interface where it prompted you to donate towards tangible things such as: paying the cost to training 1 UCLA Student Volunteer and feeding one camper. Not only does this make the donor feel better about how they are helping, but they also get to see the costs associated with running the camp. Knowing this is wayyyy more convincing than having a random black hole goal number. High Five!
See below if you want to cry and learn more about UniCamp….
p.s. I donated to sponsor a bus… psyc, one day. To donate to UCLA UniCamp click here
Christopher Walken: Yeah.. part of the time.
Tim Meadow: Well, you work part-time. How many days of the week?
Christopher Walken: Every day.. but just part of the day. From 9 to 5.
Tim Meadow: So, you work a full day?
Christopher Walken: I wouldn’t say that. There are huge chunks of time.. at night.. where I’m just asleep. For hours. It’s ridiculous.
Success
Via @joannagoddard
This success chart by Demetri Martin rings so true. Everyone seems to face unexpected obstacles and detours in their career path—those it’s-always-darkest-before-the-dawn moments.
A few fun facts from a slideshow of 26 people who failed at first:
- Dr. Seuss’s first book was rejected by 27 different publishers.
- Thomas Edison’s teachers told him he was “too stupid to learn anything.”
- Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because he “had no good ideas.”
- The first time Jerry Seinfeld went onstage, he was booed away by a jeering crowd.
- Oprah Winfrey was fired from her television reporting job because they told her she wasn’t fit to be on screen.
What were your WTF moments on your path to success? Alex dropped out of college for a semester and lived with his parents. I went to law school for a year and was a mess. Elvis was initially a truck driver! It always feels like the end of the world when it’s happening, but next time, just picture this chart:)
Giorgio Moroder you are fun
