Here I am, at the ol' blog again. I'm really excited about doing this. After these few year of chilling in the Business School, staring at Excel spreadsheets and reading weird formulas...I definitely do not write as much as I used to. My inner English major isn't too pleased. And that's putting it mildly, my inner English major is having an absolute FIT!
For those who didn't know, before I changed my major to Finance and kicked butt at that. I started my college career as an English major with ambitions and dreams of writing. I switched majors after having my writing graded and despite the highly similar quality and content...I got an A in one class and a D in the other, I realized a degree in English wasn't going to make be a better writer, just a very confused one.
Now, just so there is no confusion. I love my major. I switched to Finance for a reason. I find money fascinating, I love learning how it works in our economy, in business, and in our lives. Although the classes are difficult and sometimes frustrating, when all is said and done, I love the challenge, my classes really push me. I feel like college has helped me get tools to actually do well in a profession and that there is real application for what I learn.
Most of the time...there was that one professor who went on rants on and on and on that I'm still wondering if just may there might have been something useful in that lengthy expose on the Mafia in New York. I think what I got out of that was to be leery of shady looking Italian restaurants.
I need to start blogging again because creativity is such an important and valuable skill, even as a Finance nerd. Success comes from thinking differently and being able to see above and beyond is already there. I quite enjoy writing, this blog will be a nice excuse for me to post stuff. Perhaps my friends will be so kind as to goad me to write more so I get more practice.
I'm not completely sure what I'll do in this blog. I might post some poetry, vignettes of my life, maybe talk finance...for now just whatever strikes my fancy I suppose!
What do you think I should write about? What kinds of blogs do you like best? Send me a link to your blog! Send me links to blogs you like!
