Alumni business

While a lot of this happened yesterday, I spent extra time throwing things together for a more fleshed out blog post now. Just after Graduation a few weeks ago, I joined the Cal State Fullerton Alumni Association. https://twitter.com/jdrochlin/status/1130923180040736768?s=21 See? Tweeted and everything to prove it. After a good amount of time spent resting, helping with …

Stars full of Jazz in 2019

Last year I wrote a post about Alyson's end-of-year Jazz Under the Stars concert. It's a yearly event that is a lot of fun because you get to see the students at their peak and raise some money for the arts. But this year Jazz Under the Stars was a bit more hectic for the …

Post-Grad socials

There are a lot of things to do after you graduate from college. An obvious example is looking for jobs. But what do you have to do before you look for jobs? The smart folks in my audience will say you have to cultivate a strong set of marketable skills to entice and/or fool employers …

Wrapping up Gaming

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. You heard it here first. I'm officially done with Gaming... In American Culture. You know, that class I was taking for fun with my friend Mimi this last semester? Despite it neither fitting into my Comm major nor my Psych minor. As you may recall from this great post, that …

My new Let’s Play channel

What's up, gamers. T1meslayer here with a channel update for all y'all. A few months ago I launched a series of toy unboxing videos with my sister that has gone on to achieve great acclaim. That first video has almost 100 views, and that not-LEGO Mimikyu was a star in my class' Dungeons and Dragons campaign. …

Graduation hardware

It's honestly not an exaggeration to say that I might pass out at graduation this Sunday from some heat-related illness due to all of the things I'll be carrying. That sounds like I'm looking for an excuse to brag, but I swear I'm not. The Department of Communications commencement is going to be held out …

That time of year again

Hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day! We Rochlin children celebrated by getting my Mom breakfast donuts (as requested), went out for lunch and then had fancy home-cooked pasta for dinner. A very food-focused affair. Spending the morning and afternoon with her (as well as the night with my friends losing hours to Minecraft) left me with …

Meeting expectations

If my life were a series of Sesame Street episodes, the word of the day would be: Meetings. Pretty much as soon as I woke up, I joined Mom at a local Starbucks to have breakfast with Tatjana — the wife of Magic Moreno, who I spoke to for Gladeo not long ago. Worth reading if …

The penultimate week

My apologies for the absence this last weekend, oh loyal viewers — wherever the five of you may be. I took a little time for myself following the Honors Conference (both my panel and a few friend's panels I attended on Saturday) to focus on the last few assignments I have to complete before the …

My Senior Honors Project debrief

These graduation milestones are really starting to gear up. Today's adventure took me out to Fullerton with my parents so I could officially give my Senior Honors Project presentation. It has been literal years in the making. After I spent some time reflecting on my novel and compiling the work behind it into a PowerPoint, …
