One More Week of Insanity!!

It seems like I have had like 20 hours of sleep in the last week!!!

On Friday, I went out to the graffiti pub crawl hosted by the University Marketing Association, and it was pretty sweet. To be honest it was my first pub crawl and I am not a crazy fan because it seems like you just get into your dancing groove, have that nice little dance circle carved out on the floor and then the DJ tells everyone it is time to get back on the bus! This pub crawl was somewhat unusual though, because you got a white suit and a marker, so it made for a good time.

So, I got home around 2ish that night and then the next morning bright and early, me and a couple of first years drove out to the Business Students' Frosh Retreat. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this event, essentially 2nd and 3rd years show you why the School of Business is so amazing and give you insider tips on how to succeed; whether it be in dressing, networking or case competitions, they cover everything. Of course you also get to meet lots of really cool people and usually a good 5 of them will become really close friends. So I spent all day at that event and drove back this morning just to sleep until 3pm!! And now what am I doing?? Procrastinating because I have to hammer out my cover letters and resumes in time for Monday’s deadline co op/articling positions.

Relief!! I will likely have my job all lined up and secured within a month!!!

So with that I will conclude with my Tip for the Term:

Go to every event you possibly can!!

I know this sounds silly, but I'm serious. For example, frosh retreat; the opportunity to be stuck with hundreds of people for two days is invaluable because undoubtedly you will find a few who you will become friends with by sheer statistics! Always think about all the opportunities that you can pursue if you were to only go and check out an info session, or a charity fundraiser or a golf tournament. All of these events have one major purpose: Networking. And that is what Business is all about.

Alright well that's all I've got for now time to clean my house - because it’s funner (I know this isn’t a word) than studying or working on my resume.
