Because the world is suddenly meaningless. It turns into the reproductive cycle of working to make money to work- an outcome no one saw coming when they were pursuing a self titled major in black feminist economics with an emphasis in early Greek literature. This also speaks to why business and marketing majors don't have blogs, or a soul for that matter.
But are these post college bloggers pouring out prolific prose on the intersection of technology and third world marginalization? Absolutely not. The poster college blogger will undoubtedly chose one of the following topics:
1. Food. A BA in anything entitles you rip apart any and all restaurants and also, surprisingly enough, makes you somewhat of a gourmand in the home kitchen.
2. Music. There is nothing quite underground enough- and, if people have heard of it, it probably sucks.
3. Self indulgent ramblings. This blog being an excellent example. If you have had a recent break up or are pissed off enough, you should be able to post at least a few times a week.
4. Fashion. http://fopsanddandies.blogspot.com. Enough said.
Posting on something meaningful is: 1) trying to hard, but 2) and more importantly so, reminds them of the vapid life the blog was created to alleviate. If the rest of life is going to be composed of getting dressed, eating, and making fun of people, they might as well let everyone else know how good they are at it.
