Search Difficulties
As some of you may have noticed, the search function in the top right corner of this page doesn’t produce any results. I have contacted Tumblr about the matter and they reported a recent upgrade process that will cause some issues with search results. I’m sure it will be working normally again soon.
Thanks for your patience. Check back soon for a Stats page.

How old are you?
- 21, livin’ the good life
Where in the world are you? Why are you there? (studying, work, vacationing, etc.)
- I’m currently in Madison, WI, quite possibly the greatest city on earth. I’m studying Journalism and Mass Communication at UW-Madison, sometimes vacationing, definitely working.
Given the current political climate in your region, what big changes do you foresee in the next couple years?
- I predict Scott Walker will be a politician of the past, Obama will still be this great nation’s President, gay marriage will probably be legal on a national level. I could see the federal government offering more incentives to buy eco-friendly cars, such as the Chevy Volt (which is awesome). I hope to see a more peaceful atmosphere in the Middle East.
Let’s say you have a few hours between meetings. What do you do in that free time?
- I’ll for sure look at Twitter for a bit, reply to emails, eat something. If I’m feeling ambitious I’ll watch a documentary or try to wrangle a quartet to play Settlers of Catan.
Are you working? If so, what do you do?
- I work at the Hillel desk, which is a college student’s dream job. I love it. I also intern at KW2, a local full-service ad agency. That’s going really well so far and allowing me to delve deeper into the fascinating and multi-faceted industry.
Identify one childhood ambition you’re currently fulfilling.
- As a Badger, I’m part of something HUGE, something I can be proud of for the rest of my life.
What’s your relationship status?
- Single
Where have you traveled?
- I’ve traversed a good amount of the US, mostly through USY in high school and road trips (Remember the #rosebowlroadtrip of 2011? #teamsparrow). Internationally, I’ve been to Argentina, Poland, and Israel. I’d like to make it back to Israel soon.
What have you accomplished this year and what are your short-term goals?
- Created, promoted, and implemented this glorious project
- I worked for Apple, now the most valuable company in the world, as a Campus Rep
- Landed an internship for this summer at Kohl’s in Milwaukee
- Grades have been superb
Where do you see yourself in four years?
- I see myself living in a big city working in the advertising industry, a career path I’m already loving
Future Josh - First of all, give yourself a 3rd grade ‘pat on the back.’ Project 29 was a huge success, as you now know and hopefully haven’t lost sight of over the past four years. Send out those emails! Continue to think independently and differently. Take your creativity to the extreme. Don’t lose your persistence and go-getter attributes. Maintain your inner childishness, endless fascination, and positive attitude towards continuing education. Keep your friends close. Don’t forget from whence you came; continue to value and capitalize on the past experiences that have led you where you are today. These are your best years. Continue doing what makes you happy, because four years down the road I know you will be.

How old are you? 29
Where in the world are you? Why are you there? (studying, work, vacationing, etc.) Sturgeon Bay, Wis. and I work for the Door County Advocate as an education reporter.
Given the current political climate in your region, what big changes do you foresee in the next couple years? A move toward the privatization or consolidation of public schools. Gov. Scott Walker may also be unseated.
Let’s say you have a few hours between meetings. What do you do in that free time? Bead, read blogs, I’m trying to read more books, maybe take a walk. But not today, it’s cold and wet out.

I am 20 years old.
I’m in Fond du Lac, WI at Service Motors Ford. Working!
I don’t pay attention to politics much.
I enjoy crocheting and taking pictures in my free time. Or spending time with friends and family!
I work at Service Motors Ford, soon to be Holiday Ford (within a week!). I work in BDC.. answering phones, working with the customers mostly.
I will be going back to school in August for Cosmetology, finally! Moving to Madison and moving in with Craig. I also have taken up photography which I have always wanted to do.
I am currently in a relationship.. With Craig Capelle. He is absolutely wonderful and I hope to stay with him for a very long time. Though we’ve only been dating 8.5 months.. it feels like it has been SO much longer.
Stephanie
I am 18 years old, studying Graphic Design at the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities. In my free time, I usually sit in my room and hang out with my boyfriend or some of my friends that live down the hall from me in the dorms. Or I’ll head over to my sorority house for dinner or to do some studying. I just got done working at BCBG at Bloomingdales at the Mall of America, my first job! I was only working seasonal but ended up staying a little longer once Bloomingdale’s announced they were closing. One childhood ambition I am fulfilling is doing something with design and art.

Happy Leap Day!!

1. 20 years old
2. Madison, WI. Studying at UW-Madison. Sophomore year. If you want to get real specific, I am in Kellner Hall of the one and only Camp Randall. I am technically “working” right now. We’re really busy right now…
3. Big changes. To be honest, I’m not as up on the political stuff as I probably should be. What I do know is that there are some moves being made regarding Planned Parenthood. I am hoping that not much changes with that, but I am also worried that federal funding will no longer go towards this program. My Public Health class is dealing with HIV/AIDS right now so I am hoping that in four years we will have made some improvements on this virus. I am especially hoping that more effective treatment and prevention programs are in place in sub-Saharan Africa where the disease is extremely prevalent.
