I am SO SO excited introduce everyone to a weekly column called, Career Confidential. This is where NeonNotebook gets to learn the real dirt about some of the coolest jobs out there. I don’t know
about you, but we are tired of reading generic BS from “career experts”. So, we are going straight to the horse’s mouth: ladies with the most badass jobs around.
In this week’s column, we chat with one of my best friends, Katie Amey! I

I know it is cliché: I have been trying to start this blog for quite a while now. I always had a million excuses for why I couldn’t: “I am too busy with real work”, “I don’t have time”, “It probably won’t get anywhere”…blah, blah, blah. One day, about a month ago, I said, “fuck it, it is time to do what I really want”. Thus, NeonNotebook was born!
I spend a vast majority of my time on the Internet, and I have always felt like there wasn’t a one-stop destination for gen-y girls. There are fabulous fashion blogs, inspiring

MAJOR guilty pleasure = Taylor Swift. Yes, I love her! Her song “22” has been my jam lately; I can’t get enough of it. She perfectly describes the days when you just need to “forget the deadlines”, and hit the dance floor.
This weekend, I totally had one of those moments. My best buds and I hit the club, and totally tore up the dance floor for hours. It was exactly what I needed. Sometimes I forget that I am only 25; I deserve drunken nights, best friends and Ke$ha!!!!
Getting dressed for a night on the town is a

March 21, 2013 by Rebekah in Career, ETC. College graduation. No doubt about it; it is a terrifying life event. I know, I know it probably feels like the beginning of your life, and the end of your life…all at the same time.
Part of you feels an impending sense of doom: what will I do without a meal plan? where will I get guidance without office hours? what will I do without my parents credit card? Let’s be real the latter

March 19, 2013 by Rebekah in Career, ETC. Can I just say I am obsessed with Sheryl Sandberg’s new book/message, Lean In? This might be a lofty statement, but Sandberg’s “Lean In” Movement is the Seneca Falls Convention for Gen Y gals. She is like Elizabeth Cady Stanton with access to the Internet, and a great wardrobe. Back then we were fighting for voting equality, and today we are fighting for a fair chance at work.
There is no doubt about it: she is a ROCKSTAR. It is sad, but true: women jeopardize themselves in the workplace before they even get started!
I have been especially

I don’t even have a real blog, and I already suck at being a blogger. I officially started writing this post in July 2012 (right before my 25th bday). Then, I made it my New Years Resolution to blog more, but that hasn’t worked out so well either.
Better late than never seems to be my official motto. So now, as a one-third of the way through the year resolution, I am going to start recording my journey to world domination.
The last 6 or 7 years have been a blur of the good, the bad and the terrifying. In
