A few years ago, I was driving alone on the highway at cruising speed. The road was straight and the sun was hot, and the moment felt right to sing my heart out. Car singing is way more fun than shower singing because in the car, I really let loose. So I was reaching the climax of a favorite Broadway showstopper, belting with all my heart, when I glanced out my right window. There was a car driving alongside me, and inside was a woman staring at me with an expression that said, “Does he think the car is soundproof?” We locked eyes, sharing the moment when I realized that she was watching me not realize that she heard me. We both looked away quickly. It was awkward for both of us.

There has to be a moral to this story somehow. Maybe it’s that singing should be emotive without inhibition. Sing for yourself and sing from the heart. Or maybe the moral is that you should never make eye contact with people because if they’re already looking at you it’ll be twice as awkward as not making eye contact. Yeah, I think that’s the moral.

When people find out I’m an English major, they immediately assume I’m an amazing story teller. But I’m so much more than that! An absolute menace during rage cage, a cinnamon roll that would actually kill you, a chronic overthinker/daydreamer, a holy mother, your personal close-reading machine that will illuminate things you didn’t know about yourself (and look pretty doing it).

But now. Let me tell you a little story about myself. I’m Madlen, (not Madeleine, or Madelyn, and definitely not Madlyn). Bet you haven’t seen that spelling before... Why is my name spelled like that, you may wonder? Well, it all started when my mom met my dad, and they fell in love and they had me. It was at this time… after casting a single gaze upon me that they knew…

Cliffhanger! Tune in next week for the update.

Wait, what do you mean there won’t be an update? NOOOOOOOOO…

O Noteworthy, Noteworthy, wherefore art thou Noteworthy?
Deny thy late fees and refuse thy Saturday morning rehearsals.
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn into becoming a degenerate
And I’ll no longer be a 4.0 student.
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy:
Thou art thyself, though not Decadence.
What’s Decadence? It is nor alto nor tenor
Nor bari nor bass nor any other part
Belonging to an a cappella group. O be some other name.
What’s in a name? That which we call a basement dweller
By any other name would smell as musty;
So Noteworthy would, were he not Noteworthy call’d,
Retain that dear stupidness which he owes
Without that title. Noteworthy, doff thy name,
And for that name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.

Hi! I'm The CEO of LinkedIn!

Last Summer, I won the Nobel Peace Prize for the 8th time. It wasn’t really difficult; I had discovered a new kind of cooking method that involves reusing human waste. It’s delicious. On my college apps, I also wrote about an xenophobic MMA wrestler who refused to let me on the NYC Subway because racism is easy to sell. Everyday after I consume 6 raw crocodile eggs on buttered-up toast, I goon at the dining table with my eyes closed, fantasizing fondly about how he would call me a "Kung-Flu Carrier" and "A Big Nose Monkey". In response, I’d kick him in the face Karate Kid, strip-tease style, before being tackled by the NYPD. Upon blacking out, the episode ends, and I wake up in the real world. My shirt is soaked. Feeling ecstatic, I happily pull my pants up--time to update my LinkedIn!

2 weeks later...

*Inhale. Exhale*

"AAAAAND ACTION!" exclaims Conan O'Brien.

As I step into the spotlight at exactly 11PM, I realize I had forgotten to zip my pants. I stumble off the Tonight Show in a frenzy, tripping over my own 3rd leg. Making my way to the bathroom, I plop and bury my clammy hands into my face. After 30 seconds of intense pondering, I then come to a profound realization. Though I've just been humiliated, if there's one thing I've learned, it’s that LinkedIn is the solution to our existence. If anything significant ever happens, don’t tell your parents, or your friends, tell LinkedIn! Because Linkedin is God and Linkedin is divine. Once again, I awaken, and while still gooning, look at you, my invaluable reader.

"Live from New York it's Saturday Night Live!" we yell in unison.

It was all a sketch.

Your one and only,
Motivated Activist

It is 5:15 AM as I write this and I genuinely believe my soul has the mandate of heaven. I'm like if the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour was a person. I'm like if you averaged every white guy in your local mall between the ages of 16 and 24. I'm like Warren Buffet with Benjamin Button disease. I'm like if the infinite monkeys were trying to write High School Musical 2 instead. I'm Carlton Banks minus the money, plus a gambling addiction.
