Change of plans...
Looks like SXSW is out. Although not the typical destination for Spring Breakers, my friends and I are thinking about doing a Canadian road trip (Montreal & possibly Quebec or Toronto). While most people will be heading South, we might venture North to check out their growing music scene, eat some Canadian delicacies, check out the architecture, yada yada yada… Despite the expected...

I thought this was an interesting article, mainly because I love to see deterioration of the status quo. Although I saw it coming a few years back, it’ll be interesting to watch Vogue and other like magazines respond. And yes, I still follow fashion.

RECAP: August - December '09
These last five months in business school definitely got me out of my comfort zone. How, you ask? Here’s some RANDOM tidbits for ya…
Professors and students challenged my thoughts and input like NEVER before.
Me and Mathematics got back together, we’ve been separated for a while.
I realized how much I hate small talk! Networking occurs ‘round the clock.

Vermont Butter & Cheese
A fellow classmate in my section comes from a family that owns the Vermont Butter & Cheese Company (at Babson, it’s very common to hear about a student with some sort of family enterprise, whether small, medium or large - think Ford and Toyota. Also, remind me to tell you about another classmate whose family owns and operates the equivalent to Macy’s in Mexico.). Anyway, last...

KEG STAND
This is definitely not an HBCU norm. Perhaps this is why last night was my first time EVER doing a keg stand. Most of you know I’m not a heavy drinker and can easily have fun minus alcohol, but I must admit, watching everyone participate was hilarious. As a rookie, my time was 16 seconds. Not bad, eh? The only negative, I hated putting my mouth where 10 others had previously put...
