Abundant Anxiety
I’ve been trying and failing to have an abundance mindset towards money. Since I’m quitting in 3 months, I’ve been regressing hardcore into the scarcity mindset. Disclaimer: I am mostly joking about chest tightness, but my anxiety is very real. A quick refresher on the concept. An abundance mindset towards money is believing that money…

I’ve made a decision!
In my final attempts to decide between 5 schools with full-tuition scholarships, I visited Yale in New Haven, Connecticut. This is trip 1 of MANY in 2024. Last year, I went on 10 trips and saved $3450 on flights by travel hacking. I wrote all about those trips in my Travel section of the blog.…

MLT MBA Prep Program Review
As part of my MBA application journey (see my MBA SERIES), I discussed one of my pre-MBA programs – Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT). This program was FUCKING AMAZING!! This game-changer program got me 5 full-tuition scholarships at top universities, including 1 Ivy League. I wrote a little about the program here, but that was…

My Nigerian mom was supportive?!
My parents stayed with me for a week to celebrate the holidays. I wondered when anyone would bring up the ‘where are you going to school? And when will you accept Yale because it’s your best option.’ Finally, on the last night, my dad and mum had separate talks with me on the topic. My…

Creating a life I don’t want to run away from
I’m in a stage of analysis paralysis. Since my last MBA update, I’ve gotten into 2 more schools with full tuition scholarships – UCLA & NYU, which has been absolutely wild and amazing. I am ultra grateful. I know that no matter where I end up, I’ll find a way to make the best of…

I got full tuition scholarships at both programs through the consortium (I wrote about them in my post on How I saved $1800 in MBA Application fees). If you’re new here, I would recommend reading through…

Waiting for life to start?
TL:DR I’m spiraling about my future. I’ve been in waiting mode for a few weeks. I’m waiting to hear back from my schools. Waiting to quit my job. Waiting to leave Buttfuck, CA. Waiting for my future stable lover to find me in my apartment. I’ve been feeling very anxious and aware that I’m waiting…

Forte MBA Launch Review
I wrote about joining Forte earlier this year when I broke down the cost of Pre-MBA programs. I joined 2 pre-MBA programs to meet like-minded people in the MBA application process. Also, I wanted to get resources on making the best application possible and to network with admissions officers. This application process taught me that…

4 Interviews and Counting…
This isn’t a pipe dream anymore. I’m moving to start my new life in less than 9 months. I have interviews with Emory, UCLA, Columbia, and Yale. Since this is getting real, I have to remind myself of what I value. My mum asked me today – ‘what is the average cost of an MBA?’.…

I saved $1800 on MBA Applications
In the spirit of finishing most of my applications, I just realized I saved about $200-$250 on MBA applications. How did I do this, you ask? If you didn’t ask, why are you reading this blog? BYE! I saved $1800 by using the Consortium common application. I only ended up paying $325 for 7 schools.…
