My R&B column on Four Loko

http://www.redandblack.com/2010/11/28/use-your-judgment-with-four-loko/

So, my hashed out thoughts on the topic finally came to print. After being deemed a "wet blanket" by my friends regarding the topic, we'll see what the rest of the student body has to say.

The societal ill that is Four Loko may not be so important to r&b readers within the next couple of days, however.

I found out in class today that the EIC, Daniel Burnett, was asked to resign on Saturday due to some unbecoming drunken behavior and rude comments toward UGA President Michael Adams and other guests. As a fellow Grady Ambassador, I really like Daniel and I hope it doesn't damage his career prospects because he has made the Red & Black a really fantastic publication this semester. They are covering it on the front page tomorrow and Burnett will forever go down in Google history with that on his record. It's really unfortunate and hope the best for him.

Wow. I'm not one for watching IFC movies, but this quote I pulled from the story hit home with me. Someone tell me who I am!

In non-indie film news, I also think Morning Glory sounds like a much better version, if not for a slightly older set, of that movie Alexis Bledel was in about graduating college and getting your first big break. Less cheesy, more about the ups and downs of a real life career. Finally, movies about my upcoming predicament!

After watching the trailer for Tiny Furniture, I do have to agree with the 'entitlement' quote by her quirky ex-friend. I'm such a millenial.

Morning Glory even includes a Natasha Bedengfield song, the artist perpetually known for her uplifting tunes for twentysomethings. Can't hate on a good NB song, even though I could never relate to those girls on The Hills. Having trouble doing basic functions at an uber-glamorous internship sounds like a good day to me.

I will have an enjoyable winter break watching these films. Hopefully they'll be more inspiring than depressing.
