Every week I’ll be updating The Webb with a little ditty about my most recent blogcrush – a blog that I follow frequently and find inspiration, laughter and deep thoughts from. You know who they are, those bloggers that you’ve never even met but you feel a strange connection…you almost have a little crush on them? These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

You know that scene where Elle Woods brings Brooke Taylor Windham a care package in jail and she includes a copy of Cosmo magazine “cause it’s the Bible.” Well, this week’s #BlogCrush is like a brunette Elle Woods, and her site (Life After College) is like the young professional’s Bible. I first “met” Jenny Blake after I saw my (at least) 25th friend on Twitter tell me that I should be following her. Not even kidding, everyone on the bluebird network seems to love this girl and I wanted to find out if all the hype was worth it.

I can say, without a doubt, that it totally IS worth it. Aside from the fact that Life After College is one of my favorite designed blog sites on the web, Jenny offers graduates and young professionals tips and resources to use in matters of life, work, money, happiness, personal growth and more. Considering the content and posts that come from her site, you’d expect her to be one of those uber-pretentious super sophisticated wicked smart women that you are uber-intimidated by. However by the second or third sentence of her posts, you realize that she is a down-to-earth cupcake loving girl who has figured out a lot, continues to figure out more, and is willing to expose herself and share for the progression of her readers. Really, how can you not love that

Even though we learn a lot about how to do our job or pursue our interests in college, no one is really teaching us how to navigate the rest of it. Jenny’s writes about the real life applications of things that should be simple, like how to divide up your paycheck or how to stay organized. She is always showing how to use different programs, services or books to change our own lives and understand a little more. She is also expanding to include some great guest posts from more regular folks who have figured some things out and want to share. Basically, Life After College is like a huge learning forum, but SO much more fun!! (And filled with emoticons and exclamation points, yet another reason I adore Jenny!)

If you are looking for a Bible or blueprint of sorts on navigating this “growned-up” post-graduate young professional life from a cupcake loving brunette Elle Woods, check out Life After College.
