Get me off this mountain
TL:DR I have regrets about spending over $2k on a ski trip. I recently went to Black Ski, an annual ski trip for MBA students across the country. For many months, I’ve dreaded going on this trip but I thought to myself: “YOLO”. If anyone remembers my Mexico Pity Party post, the vibes on this…

What’s the plan?
My dad asked me a few weeks ago how I planned on funding my unemployment for 2 years. So I started trying to figure out my plan since I’m ending work in a few weeks. If you’re new to the blog, I’m moving to New York to start an MBA program in Fall 2024. I…

Let’s not be so serious
Two days ago, I decided to book a flight to Canada for next week on a whim. I miss my friends. This is probably the most spontaneous I’ve ever been. I said fuck the budget. I don’t think I have enough vacation and the flight was expensive but I really said fuck it, let’s go.…
