What do I value?
Some major life updates: I got promoted and I paid off half my student loan. Yee to the Haw baby. I’ve been having some nagging thoughts regarding returning to school to get my MBA. Since I joined the ChooseFI band wagon this year, I’m rethinking a lot of my previous reasons for applying to top…

It’s Application Season
Wassup homies! I have 48 days till my Round 1 deadlines. So I’m actually going to switch to 1 post a week in the meantime so I can manage my time and stress better. Sadly. My therapist convinced me I shouldn’t work on my MBA applications when I go to Japan. I’m like, ‘Girl you…

Let’s quit this bitch
I started thinking about what I would need to do/have to feel comfortable quitting my 9-5 in March. For those new to the blog, I’m returning to school for my MBA in Fall 2024 (manifesting this even though I haven’t applied yet). But I’ve been thinking about having a summer vacation.

The Power of Joy :)
I hate small talk. Like, it is despicable to me. I spent a week training on creating & facilitating presentations in Utah for work. But I tried something new… One of the icebreakers that I absolutely despise is “say 1 interesting fact about you”. I spend the whole mothafucking time trying to think of what…

MBA Series: cost of pre-MBA programs
Welcome to Part 2 of the MBA Series. Trying to get into a top school and get scholarships is a second job at this point. It has come with some pretty heavy punches to my wallet. However, I am hoping the returns will be worthwhile either in the short term or in the long term.…

Test Anxiety
I am writing this on the night right before my GMAT exam because my actual physical diary is at home and I can’t find a pen lol. I have spent the last few months throwing away my sanity and health honestly to try and improve my GMAT score. Has it been worth it? Hell no.…
