One Step to Being a Profreshional - Buying a Suit




In a lot of ways, I think the power of a good suit is def underestimated. If you're in one, no doubt you'd prob feel more confident or ready for the job at hand. I've even seen a lot of people down in SoHo rock them with some Chucks and Vans for a more casual look. A good suit is needed for a lot of different occasions (church, interviews, frat meetings), but since they can be costly there's a lot of factors that can come in when you need to pick one up. As a college student, I know droppin mad bills isn't an option, but you'd still want a good quality suit that prob looks more expensive than it really is. With that, I found GQ's list of the best suits under $500 bucks - def a good list of options for someone just starting out their professional career. I've tried on some of the suits listed from Express, H&M, and J.Crew already, and they def feel pretty good. If you really want them perfect though, you could always have them tailored.

Here's a video about buying the right suit, which goes over stuff like fit and labels:

But Ooh She On Fi-yah!!

So normally I put a big deal on the lyrics of a song - if it's mad stupid, it'll ruin the whole song (yeah i'm talkin to yooooouuuuu soulja boy! haha). But for that N.E.R.D song "everybody nose", I thought that the ridiculous hook (all the girls standing in the line for the bathroom) was funny and actually made sense. I know I kinda feel bad for those girls when I see that long ass line at a party or club. Well the song is actually about girls in the club that do lines of coke in the bathroom and come out all crazy - man what an idea. Now the remix is just sick, with Kanye, Lupe, Pharrell, and Pusha-T each droppin a verse. The video below adds to that, with the whole 80's video game themed background...now seriously who hasn't played Space Invaders or like the original Donkey Kong...classics right there!



Look out for that new CRS (Kanye, Lupe, and Pharrell) album to drop in a few months!

Welcome to my blog...

What's up everyone,

It's Emmanuel aka Eman here. So with the trend of people starting their own blogs and getting things off their mind, I decided to start my own blog about one of my continuing goals in life: be the BEST business proFRESHional I can be. But what is a profreshional, you ask? Obviously, it's a fresh professional, but it means much more than that. To me, a profreshional is a person who is focused, intelligent, and hard-working, but also has a "fresh" perspective on life too - keeping up with different kinds of trends (from business all the way to fashion) and confident enough to innovate and try something new. Now before I get mad philosophical haha, I'll break down what this blog really is. Once in a while, I'll post an article, video, or whatever about something that has to do with this goal - it could be anything from how to start up a good wealth foundation after college to how to rock sneakers and a suit and make it look dope. And some other random stuff too, whatever comes to my head. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer ppl - and for everyone who's also headin into senior year, time to make the most of college yezzurrr!
