"Update: I&amp;#x27;m going out tonight with the young lady I met over Memorial Day, who I&amp;#x27;m going to call Politica because she works in the public sector. I&amp;#x27;m looking forward to hanging out not only because she&amp;#x27;s a lot of fun, but also because we&amp;#x27;re going to one of the very few authentic Mexican restaurants in NYC, which I discovered while living in East Harlem. I can already taste the mole. Anyway, in honor of my brother Jarret&amp;#x27;s recent completion of grad school, I&amp;#x27;d like to offer a few words of wisdom to the Class of 2008. I know what you&amp;#x27;re asking yourself, and the answer is &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;--it really is a lot harder to get laid in the real world. A few hard-earned tips for adapting your game: Don&amp;#x27;t forget everything you learned in class. Bragging about your beer bong skills used to be a sure thing, but the conversational bar is a little higher when you&amp;#x27;re talking to someone who isn&amp;#x27;t on her third glass of Everclear punch. No more flip-flops at the bar. Hate to break it to you, but life is no longer a beach. But don&amp;#x27;t go the other way and start wearing loafers and dress shirts to the local dive. Classic post-baccalaureate mistake. We&amp;#x27;re all happy you finally have a real job, but there&amp;#x27;s no need to advertise it. Sorry, that&amp;#x27;s the best I can do. If you&amp;#x27;re looking for something profound, check out my boy David Foster Wallace&amp;#x27;s commencement address, which starts slow but is worth the wait. And in terms of the ceremony, listen to Catherinette and bring plenty of bottled water to combat the heat/hangover. What advice, dating or otherwise, do you have for those poor souls about to enter the real world?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
