Aggie Pals: Go Write to College
This year I had the pleasure of being an Aggie Pal. Basically, I was a pen pal to a fourth-grade student from a small town not too far away from College Station. I really got to know my pal through our correspondences, and I told him all about the amazing opportunities available to college graduates. [...]
Five Minutes of Fun
The accounting internship is at full speed, and we have officially blown past the halfway point. The busy season has been, well I guess “busy” is the best word. Time has been flying by so fast, but when I stop and think about all of the things that I have done, it is hard to [...]
Big Changes in the New Year
It seems like such a long time ago that I was sitting in front of my computer writing my essays for the Professional Program in Accounting. At that time I did not think about the opportunities that PPA would create for me. After a fun but grueling recruiting and interviewing process, I have finally started my PwC internship in Houston. It is time to (temporarily) say goodbye to the classroom and hello to the real world.
Maxy
When you are in the market for a used car, transparency of information is vital to avoid purchasing a lemon. It is a shame that most salesmen are not completely truthful. When my parents were shopping for a car, the salesman showed them a shiny Nissan Maxima that had less than 2,000 miles on the odometer.
Learning from Textbooks
I will admit that I did not always take care of my textbooks. In high school, I did not have to pay for my books, so naturally I just threw them in my locker or the trunk of my car. After you receive the first bill for your books in college, you learn to appreciate [...]
“Hi. My name is Storyteller.”
Hours of research, stress, and large numbers of pages are some of the first things that come to mind when you hear the words college paper. I have had my fair share of difficult reports in college and high school, but I am starting to get pretty good at writing them. Whenever I get one [...]
Class is Going Downhill
The cool breeze blew through my hair this morning as I skied down the mountain for the last time. Only a few short weeks ago, I was staring down the steep drop fearful for my life. I had never skied before, so every slope looked like the edge of a cliff. After making several successful [...]
The Business Environment: You Can’t Escape It
During my first couple of semesters in college, I found myself taking classes that I felt would not be useful in my professional career. These were mostly history and science classes, but some of my general business classes were the same way. Last week I was reading my management book in the lobby of a repair shop while I was waiting for my car to be fixed. That is when a scary thought crossed my mind; some of the things I was reading actually applied to my current situation.
Aggie Ring Day: Finally Mine
As I am writing this blog, I’ve noticed that I am typing a lot slower because there is a shiny chunk of gold weighing down one of my fingers. I’ve never worn a ring before, so I am kind of surprised that I’m finding it so hard to take my ring off and put it away. I have gone to a couple of Aggie Ring days before, but last Friday it was finally my turn to wait in line for my little maroon box.
I Wanna Be a Millionaire…Again
Right now I am on my bed with a pile of textbooks sitting next to me. The first week of classes is officially over and I am already behind on my work. The main reason I am behind is because every time I try to read a chapter of Strategic Management, my mind wanders back to my adventures over the summer. My body may be in College Station, but right now my mind is still resting on the beaches of Bali, Indonesia…
