Future Leader of Some Sort Escapes from UMich Ahead of Schedule
Ann Arbor: Future Leader of Some Sort, Jaya Kalra, has completed commencement activities at the University of Michigan ahead of schedule, poising her for ahead-of-schedule and under-budget completion of world conquest. She has not yet reached the legal drinking age or even come close to it, but nevertheless has completed an undergraduate degree in Sociology with a minor in math, and in the meantime has become an outspoken activist and leader on campus and a leader in her democratic republic of co-op housing. We tremble to speculate what her GPA might be. When she is not being recognized by a Big Ten university for her contributions to civil rights, in her spare time she creates increasingly complex and sophisticated meditations on new media formats, which you can see here.

Although she has only attended university for three years, nevertheless she has had two internships in national organizations. What should her next step be? Since she's a youngest sister, she doesn't need to take a job as a receptionist or data entry clerk to learn humility--she probably overlearned it growing up. She seems to already have an offer for a (paying!) job that will both require responsibility and be something she's interested in and cares about. Damn sight better than me when I graduated. I don't know what her next move should be, but I think I'm going to be paying attention and taking notes: I'll probably learn something.

HAPPY COMMENCEMENT TO JAYA!
