School’s Finally Out

Yep, that’s right. I’m officially halfway through my college career. Or 100% through. Depends on if I decide to continue to stay in school. Right now there’s a possibility that I’ll take at least a semester off of school. We’ll see how I feel by the end of the summer. I have a whole list of things I want to do from backpacking in Europe to interning to getting a whole new perspective on business. That last one is really what this is all about. In the day to day struggle to make something of your company, one tends to lose sight as to what they are really after and forget that it’s the journey that counts and not the destination as cliche as that sounds.

For the next couple weeks, I’ll be looking for a place to intern for this summer. I’ll also be moving into the house on June 1st. Another thing I really want to do this summer is check out the West Coast. I’ve been everywhere from London and Paris to Saudi Arabia, and amazingly have yet to see the West Coast. I’ve always wanted to see what it’s like and I think the vibe there is much more fitting for me. I may also make a stop at Austin as I hear it’s a great city for entrepreneurs.

If anyone cares, here’s my list of things I want to do this summer/next semester: List

If anyone has any other suggestions in terms of what they think I might be able to fill my time with, let me know. What would you do if you had an entire semester off?

P.S. I have Doostang (Professional, invite-only, networking site) invites. If you’d like one let me know and I just might send you one.

Congrats on finishing the semester! I got home from school last Friday and after a week of ‘vacation’ I am ready to get down to business!

West coast, depends. I prefer northern to southern cali, portland is amazing but lacks some diversity, seattle is awesome but rainy. Austin is a really cool place though, and I definitely recommend checking it out. Then again, I’ve only been there during SxSW.. Sooo… ;)

Congrats on the successful year! Oh, and send me a doostang invite if ya could. I’ve been meaning to check it out.

Thanks Chris! Haha I’m still on my vacation lol. These first few days have involved a lot of catching up with friends. Definitely anxious to do big things this summer though.

Thanks Alex! I’m thinking either Bay Area or Las Vegas (they have really nice houses there apparently) for Cali. Seattle just always appealed to me because it seems like a whole different city with it’s own culture kind of like NYC. I think Austin would definitely be really cool though. I should check it out this summer. Hm what’s SxSw by the way? Your Doostang invite is on it’s way :) .
