SMART Career Choices
1. Education versus Skilling; Learning anywhere, DIY icons, campus lawns, no gatekeepers, 70–100 hours, curiosity + self-driven growth.
2. Standby; Everywhere you look today — campuses, offices, coffee shops — people sit with laptops open, waiting for the “right moment” to begin something meaningful. Standby is that quiet pause before a shift. It’s readiness disguised as waiting.
3. Deconstruct; In a world overflowing with online lessons, reels, and DIY guides, everyone is constantly breaking big ideas into tiny learnable pieces. Deconstruct simply means taking apart old assumptions the same way you’d pause a tutorial — to finally understand what really matters.
4. Herd; Walk across any campus lawn and you’ll notice groups moving together — same classes, same decisions, same anxieties. Herd is that gentle nudge: step out of default-mode decision-making and choose the path that feels truly yours, not borrowed from the crowd.
5. No Compromises; Even in a flexible self-learning world, some students still settle for safe choices or outdated advice. No Compromises is the moment you draw your own line — deciding what you won’t sacrifice in your career, learning, or purpose, no matter what others say.
6. Spill The Beans; Sit near any group of friends studying outdoors and you’ll hear real stories — doubts, dreams, secret plans. Spill the Beans invites that honesty. When you say the truth out loud, your next step becomes surprisingly simple and surprisingly possible.
7. IYKYK (If You Know, You Know); Everyone today has small insider wins — a shortcut tutorial, a hack, a moment of clarity only shared with a few. IYKYK celebrates that lived experience. The things you’ve quietly figured out are already part of your green-career superpower.
8. Brain Rot; You see it everywhere — students staring at screens, scrolling endlessly, trapped in thought loops. Brain Rot captures that overload. Not a flaw, but a signal: when your mind is stuck, it’s time to take a lighter, smarter, more intentional learning turn.
9. Goblin Mode; Everyone has those days — sprawled on the grass, hoodie up, zero motivation, snacks as emotional support. Goblin Mode simply acknowledges reality. It says: even in your messiest moments, you’re still allowed to restart, learn, and move toward something better.
