Teresa is a Communication major at the University of California, San Diego who will one day live out of a cardboard box. (But you can bet it will be decorated in pink rhinestones.) She is frightened by her parents’ acceptance of her ambitions, because this means two things: A) they truly believe she’s incompetent of majoring in what they perceive to be anything of substance, and B) they really do expect her to marry rich.
She thinks people who use big, convoluted words to describe their professional aspirations are tacky, so she’ll be frank: She likes the internet. Only recently did she realize she could make a career out of her extensive understanding of social media and the blogosphere. That day, for her, was better than Ben and Jerry’s free scoop day. Which is saying a lot. But after all, if she’s going to develop carpal tunnel and eyestrain, it best come with a paycheck.
She apologizes for selfishly utilizing this blog to discuss her favorite topic (herself, if that wasn’t blatantly obvious) and to preoccupy herself in the wee hours of the morning. It is about life, food, social media, technology, family, college, career, and more — all moderately censored, of course, as she is rather aware that publishing the details of her personal life on the internet is not one of her brightest ideas.
Despite this knowledge, her tendency to oppose whatever her common sense suggests is powerful. Her one and only privacy tactic is to imagine the reactions of her 2nd grade teacher, her brother, and a creepy middle-aged pedophile in Kansas before she hits “publish.” (If you happen to be the creepy middle-aged pedophile in Kansas, Teresa happens to have a prosthetic leg and a horrible case of bacne — seriously, you’re not interested.) If the envisioned facial expressions are of an acceptable level of horror, then the entry stays.
At her 9-5 cubicle job in her inevitable future, her boss will catch her updating and she will delete this whole blog in a fit of paranoia. Until she gets fired for accidental disclosure of private information… keep reading.
She also hates people who talk in third person. So she’ll stop now.
