Generation Next

Hey Guys,

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I hope everyone had a great holiday and I wish you all a happy new year.

I wanted to let you all know about a documentary that a longtime classmate of mine help put together currently airing on PBS. It's called Generation Next, and the premise is to figure out the voice of the current crop of 16-25 year olds (generation Y I suppose). While some of the interviews contain a lot of pretty vague generalizations -- what else would you expect from college students -- I found some pretty interesting nuggets of information in there. The kind of observations that tend to be good starting points for research -- such as the average level of debt held by current college graduates or the percentage of our generation that believes gay marriage is OK. I would definitely consider this worth seeing, and you can find when it's airing by checking it out at PBS -- click here, then on Generation Next.

In other news, I went skiing with a bunch of my classmates this past weekend on the north shore of lake superior, and though we faced sub zero temps at times, views like this made it worth it. The couple inches of snow we got the day we arrived helped a bit too.

Best,
Ariel
