Former Student
After four years at Texas A&M, I can finally say that I am a “Former Student.” I still don’t feel like I have even graduated and become an alumni. Wehner and ESPECIALLY the 3rd floor of WCL have become second homes to me. It’s going to be a weird feeling not going back to that in [...]
Expecting the Unexpected
If you know me well, you’ll know that I need to have to have many things planned in advance. You can always expect random spontaneous spurs and “in the moment” actions from me, but for the most part I enjoy having the “big things” in my life planned out in advance. I blame this on my [...]
Senioritis
I feel a case of senioritis approaching now that Spring Break has just passed. I’ve tried to combat it and avoid it as much as possible by staying on top of my school work and setting aside time for different activities. However, I feel like I should just let senioritis take over already!
DESTINation
When I think of my Spring Break, so many words and phrases come to mind: necessary, relaxing, crab cakes, sun burns, friends, fun, beach, crabbing, ocean, dolphins, sand, SLEEP, etc. etc. The journey to Destin, Florida has been my longest car ride yet … approximately 10.5 hours. (Total of 20+ hours) However, the trek (and [...]
Summer Travel Wishlist
Thanks to The Association of Former students and the Academy for Future International Leaders, I was awarded a stipend for my summer travels. It exceeded the amount I had requested and expected. I have yet to study abroad. My past summers have been rewarding and educational, but I got so accustomed to life in Manhattan [...]
Oh hey China !
I really need to work on having more creative titles … Anyways, last Thursday I went to an open session conducted by the Academy for Future International Leaders (AFIL) discussing the strategic issues facing Asia. We mainly discussed the implication of China’s overwhelming economic growth. Within the next 5-10 years, China’s GDP will exceed that [...]
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
I feel like this blog might resemble a long infomercial. But I swear, there is an underlying purpose and it’s not a scam. As a member of the Academy for Future International Leaders (AFIL), my partner and I have been working on a start-up project with the Norman Borlaug Institute. Before I start getting into everything, [...]
Being a 20-Something
My friend recently sent me some articles of being a “20-something” in the 2010′s. I found the article interesting because it is a snap shot of me and my peers. I highly recommend reading it – “What Is It About 20-Somethings?”
A Real Person
Over this winter break, approximately 2 weeks ago, I become a quote on quote “real person”. In other words … Employed. I officially signed my documents just last week and faxed them in. It is a strange feeling. I feel like this is what I have been working towards for years, yet there are so [...]
Waldorf Astoria, Blizzards and Galas
I have just recently returned from New York City, where I attended the 2011 YMA FSF Geoffrey Beene National Awards Dinner with 4 of my fellow students and my advising professor. The awards ceremony was a result of a case study that I had started working on in the beginning of fall semester. I had to [...]
