First things off... Happy Birthday 20th birthday Jed and Belated Birthday to Zayn, Yao & BLO! Man you guys are getting so old & wrinkly. You better be getting on that beauty treatment, like this kid over here:
Ahahahaha. JK dudes. I hope you have a wonderful day!
And so the complaining begins...
It's cold. I hate this schizophrenic weather. It was just warm in Middletown around a week ago and pretty cold the week before that. It's hard to figure out what clothes to pack away for good:(. Today, there was forecast for snow, which would have made my misery more tolerable, but there's no snow. Bummer.
Thanksgiving break is coming, which also means tests and papers are coming. Tomorrow is D-Day for Econ. Guess what I'm doing? Stressing!! And procrastinating too (I'm obviously not reading my Econ book). There's too much on my mind right now for me to focus.
*First of all, I have to figure out what I'm doing for winter, spring and summer vacation/break. After a year of spending them working/interning/volunteering away from home, I think it would be awesome if I could just travel somewhere nice or stay at home and have some precious time to myself. I don't know. I still have a little time to figure that out.
*Second of all, I'm having Major trouble. I am declaring soon, and I still have no idea what I really want to do in my life. I'm thinking I like Econ & Government, but what would I do with those majors? I'm pretty sure I'm not built to become a politician or a businesswoman. Whatever happened to my life dream of becoming a doctor? Who am I? What am I? The only thing I'm sure of is that I want to be successful. Then again, what is success? How I can get there? OMG there are so many questions. Someone help me!! Maybe I should try fortune telling or flipping a coin. It always works when I can't decide which restaurant I want to go to.
*Third of all, I have an Econ test and I haven't studied. much. yet.
*Fourth of all, there's Todai & I can't go because my MPC (Marginal Propensity to Consume) is 1. Which basically means I'm broke. I miss you guys very much though. :(
*Fifth " " I miss you. :(
What this all boils down to is that I should listen to Barney Stinson [HIMYM]: When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True story.
I have to go to my Asian American Lit class and talk about why it's wrong for a 20 year old female to be called a girl instead of a woman. There's only a few things I regret doing in this world, and taking this class is one of them. What happened to the literature?! Asians?! Americans?! Joy Luck Club?!
List of things to do:
Go to Stop & Shop. Get a turkey.
I appreciate all the times we, CW & SQ, spent together shopping, laughing, cooking, and just being good pals.
Update: I'm really sad. I got only one of the classes I want for next semester and NO government classes. I wish Preregistration wasn't so stressful...
SNOWING IN BUFFALO :D
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see you thanksgiving
also, while it's nice to have time to yourself over the breaks, you'll find that there's... just a bit too much time.
you'll start yearning for something to do, even work or a job. take it from me, master procrastinator. though hanging out with friends everyday won't get you bored, i dont think it's possible to have something to do with friends every single day, AND THEN THERE'S METROCARDS TO BUY AND YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON LUNCH OR DINNER AND EVENTUALLY YOU'LL REALIZE THAT YOU NEED A JOB TO FUND ALL THESE EXPEDITIONS.
I am willing to cover for you at Todai if it will make you come >:[
Good luck with all your work. I'm sure you'll manage to pull through, unlike me, who's only taking 3 courses, and is 10 weeks behind in two of those three haha.

ReplyDeletedefinitely come to todai if just to see people and stand outside the window looking in while we eat
if you major in econ you have a lot of options coming out the door that don't have to be in business
in a b-school, econ is one of the more flexible majors in terms of job choice
also, what kind of econ are you thinking about? economic theory (lots of calc) or business economics? and what level are you currently taking?
kingu might be able to offer some deeper insights into econ
Major in Asian American Literature!!
ReplyDeletejkjk
It's difficult. I'm usually quite perceptive but it just gets foggy, even though now is not the time to be making mistakes. And I'm usually very sincere, to a fault. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteAs an econ major... definitely numerous options. I'm I'm guessing Wesleyan is more quantitatively rigorous than business-like. On the whole, definitely major in what you like; come application time, as long as you fulfill your premed requirements you can still get into medical school. What will distinguish econ-doctor from econ businesswoman is your extracurriculars and jobs.
SO. Things to consider:
- DO YOU LIKE ECON and WHY? (is it fundamentally interesting, is it the money, is it the promise of great effects, etc.)
- Are you good at econ? (Basic principles, intuitions)
- Are you good at math? (some theory, mostly grind, comfortable with math notation)
- Can you still fulfill premed requirements while being an econ major and with a high GPA?
- Will you have the extracurriculars to distinguish yourself no matter which path you take?
Some career pointers:
- As I've said before, FUCKING MCKINSEY. Make it worthwhile.
- Graduate econ is very math heavy, and like any graduate program, sucks.
- Business actually doesn't use econ skills at all. You just need to be personable, be able to think ably on your feet, and BS like a pro.
- You can still be a doctor as an econ major, you just need good extracurriculars to show that you sincerely want to be a doctor.
