On April 3rd 2012, GCC will be holding it’s annual Spring Job Fair from 12-2 in the Forum. It will be sponsored by WBTA AM1490. There are a number of companies scheduled to attend, including The College At Brockport and Hyatt Regency Buffalo. For a full list of these companies, please see: http://www.genesee.edu/news/articles/dspArticle/3828/.

GCC Fashion Student, Shauna Scott, interviewed one of the companies scheduled to attend. She interviews Darien Lake Theme Park Resort Assistant General Manager, Christopher Thorpe who talks about the many advantages to working at Darien Lake.

A few of the things that caught my attention while watching the video interview, were as follows…

Christopher says that these things are the biggest advantages to working at the Park.

1. Resume building

2. Managing your own performance helps you to be committed to your job.

3. Learning fundamental business skills while on the job.

4. Earning personal development.

5. Free admission tickets to park with EVERY paycheck.

He also gives advice about the upcoming job fair and what the company expects.

1. “Come with an open mind.”

2. “Be professional.”

3. Dress business casual

4. “Be Yourself.”

During the course of the video, the Darien Lake ducks (ducks do not belong to Darien Lake, they simply supply the water for them to bath in 🙂 ), agreed with Christopher many times and also believe that Darien Lake Theme Park Resort is a great place. So, attend the job fair on April 3rd and discuss with Darien Lake (as well as many other companies) if you would be the perfect person for “the job”!

Hey everyone! Genevieve here… Wondering if you have ever realized just how prominent the color green is in our lives. I mean, think about it, green is what each living thing starts out as. Well, not in the literal sense all the time, but still. The grass starts out as green, underneath the bark of a tree is the green youth of it’s past, and we even start out as green. Of course you know that we aren’t born as some strange green alien or anything, but we start out green in the figurative sense. The word green is used to describe our insecurities and our “blank page” -if you will. We are “green” because we are amateurs at everything, including life, and we must learn what is needed to gain the other “colors” of our lives.

We even use the term “going green” to talk about recycling or finding ways to live on Earth that are friendlier and healthier for our planet.

An author I know, *clears throat*, once said that Mother Nature’s hair must be green like the grass because the color is so important to the world. After all, once upon a time even Mother didn’t know what she was doing. Once upon a time she was green, but as she learned and grew the rest of the vibrant colors came out in her world allowing her to share their beauty with us; her creations, her babies.

So, as you walk up the hill to class or when you’re driving in your car to work tomorrow take a moment to look at the bright green grass and appreciate it. And, if you’re lucky enough to have some free time while the sun is shining, grab a book (a novel, not a magazine or comic book) and sit on the cushion of the green and enjoy the second best priviledge we have as humans- the freedom to enjoy a good book.

Today, I heard a guy ask “why do women wear high heels?” Well, given that I am wearing high heels today, I feel compelled to answer him. Women wear high heels for 1 of 5 reasons.

1: To feel taller
2: To feel powerful
3: To impress someone
4: To separate ourselves from the men
5: To make our legs look awesome!

Granted, many people find them annoying and useless, but there aare many advantages to wearing heels.

1: Built in weapon when youneed protection.
2: Always ready for an interview or photo opp.
3: You catch people’s attention.
4: Your legs get more of a workout in heels.

The best thing about a woman wearing high heels is you’ll never know the true reason for that particular woman’s decision to wear them so watch out! It is one of the many mysteries of women, so the next time you see a woman wearing heels don’t ask why, just keep the mystery alive.

well its spring break and I just wanna say everyone enjoy it.  the weather looks like it is going to be pretty reasonable so have fun.if your in the area for this spring break, try hitting up the batavia downs for some of the free plays they are giving out.

Until then, i’ll be back on here after break… CYA!

           It’s a beautiful day today, but Mother’s screams are echoing in the wind. Incase anyone isn’t familiar with my beliefs or understanding of te world I will explain. The Mother of which I speak is Mother Nature and she is screaming because of how messed up her schedule is. Because of the presence of humans, the world is changing and it effects the weather in positive and negative ways. It is only March 7th and it is almost 40 degrees outside. Granted, humans are not the only things to blame, but we should understand how angry we are making Mother.

            Listen to her voice in the winds today. If you can give her nothing else, than give her your ear and listen to her plea. Sometimes, all someone needs is a friend who will listen…
