OK so this is gonna be a mixed up complicated blog of 3 different things.
...
1) Girl Blog-
This happened a couple months ago. I was in the computer lab at college, totally focused on the latest SC2 game, and in the process of (procrastinating) typing an essay. So I have my SC2 open in Firefox and Microsoft Word right behind it, and I'm about 2 paragraphs in.
All of a sudden some girl comes and sits next to me even though there's a couple of computers open. She tells me that she forgot her network password or whatever and needs to sign into her email from my computer that I'm already logged into, which sounds fishy to me but I let her do it anyway.
She logs into her email but not without noticing SC2 in the other tab and smiles and says "oh, you like starcraft, it's a cool game" or something like that. I put on my best poker face because I'm focused on Idra's banelings and I'm trying to get rid of her.
So she prints out her work or whatever and I'm just sitting there emotionless. Maybe as an act of desperation to try to get a response from me, she comes back to my computer with her work she printed out, closes out the starcraft tab and the entire Firefox window AND closes out the essay I was typing, without saving it. At this point I'm thinking like "what a freaking bitch", but she just says like "oops, I didn't mean to do that, sorry it was an accident really" with a fake little angel grin but behind that fake shit she's being a bitch plain and simple.
Before she leaves she says "nice to meet you" and smiles and walks away. After she leaves I realize that she was kinda cute and I begin to stalk her on Facebook because I was lucky enough to remember her name from the assignment she printed out.
2) Life Sucks-
So everyone says you're supposed to figure out what you want to do with your life during college. Well, for me college was a pretty confusing time. I always knew I was smart but I never got good enough grades (grades that I knew I deserved). I was a hard worker and disciplined and picked everything up quickly, but I could never quite get things together.
After pulling mediocre grades I realized somewhere into my junior year that I didn't really know where I was going. I had decided to major in economics but I didn't want to work on Wall Street or become one of those lame financial analysts that screw people over.
I had always been interested in math and science through high school and college, and I never got below a B+ in any math class, until I got to multivariable calculus and linear algebra (which I took in the same semester). I know those aren't supposed to be especially hard classes, but that same semester I was also taking microeconomics, econometrics, and computer programming Java. So it wasn't exactly a piece of cake. I had planned to take differential equations but after seeing me struggle with math my dad advised me against taking the class. As a side note, I didn't take any AP math or science classes in high school cuz I was scared they would be hard so I feel like I never really explored that area (AP European History is apparently a gigantic waste of time). However I did good in some intro bio class, astronomy, and organic chem classes in college, so I do like science and math.
That being said, I did finally somehow end up graduating on time (Spring 2012) but I had never had an internship, I didn't have a job, I went to job fairs with my resume and shit but I realized that at some point unless you tried to use these kinds of resources from the very first day you enter college, time is gonna run out on you.
I applied for a masters in economics at my college but was denied, then I applied to a few other colleges in the state for a masters degree in accounting and didn't hear from them until Rutgers Business School sent me a letter saying I was accepted, but starting from the Summer 2013 semester (because apparently I had already passed the deadline for Summer 2012). I had taken the GRE in December 2011 and the GMAT this May, so I sent those scores everywhere I wanted to go (but more as a last resort). I did better on the essay and verbal than on math, because apparently I only realized when I got to the testing center that calculators weren't allowed.
So as you all know there was a few months in the summer I worked at Target (and got fired) for some lame ass retail job that paid 8.50 an hour. Since getting the news that Rutgers Business School gave me a chance, my parents have been delighted and told me I could finally stop working minimum wage jobs for the rest of my life. But instead they want me to read my old accounting and economics textbooks to get ready for next summer. Yeah right. That time could be better spent by playing FIFA 12 all day. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=377438
Anyway, I realize where I'm headed. Do good in business school, get a lame ass internship, take some more lame ass classes like marketing or finance or some shit, talk to more people and pretend to care, pass the CPA exam and work a dead end job as a freaking accountant for the rest of my life. At this point I really am jealous of the people who got into anything having to do with science, technology, engineering, mathematics. That stuff is tough but exciting. Science and math is the future with unlimited potential for growth. I seriously hate accounting and taxes, it's soooo boring and crap, but it's what I have to do if I want to be able to get a job and make any money. Job satisfaction down the toilet but at least I will have $$, So yah life sux.
3) Presidential Election 2012-
So I'm turning 22 in December (fuck I feel old) and the 2008 presidential election was the first one I really followed. That's partly because I was too young in 2004 and partly because Bush and Kerry both seemed like idiots. So anyway, 2008 was huge. And by huge I mean huge. Obviously because Obama was this symbol of inspiration and beacon of light and hope and change, and he was like Jesus who would save us from Bush. So that was fun, especially the debates, watching how Obama with his youth and energy constantly left old man war hero McCain in the dust (who can forget McCain's blinking apm). It was pretty much a cakewalk for Obama in '08.
For 2012, I will say this.
The election is less than 2 weeks away. Some people are disappointed with Obama, well, most of these people also happen to be racists. If you had common sense you would realize how much Obama has done in the last 4 years. Sure, not everything works out perfectly, but because of Obama we at least started going in the right direction. I really feel if we give Obama another shot, we will have even more progress in the next 4 years than we had in the last. And that's a tough record to break.
Romney is, well, I think Romney is a smart guy. But, I don't believe he has the best interests of America and its people at heart. He is worth 120 million dollars, went to Harvard because his dad was a big shot senator, but that doesn't stop him from being a phony. Romney is intelligent, you can see that when he speaks, but I don't get the feeling that he is real or genuine, I don't feel as if his words have any real genuine emotion or fervor behind them. He seems a little superficial, maybe almost mechanical. He's doing it to win the presidency, not for any of us. That's just how I feel, he gives off a kind of zombie vibe to me.
So, for the first time I vote, I will proudly vote for Barak Obama.

As for the girl, I don't know if she was trying to drop me a hint or just playing around.
I was super nervous because I never get approached by girls, usually I'm the guy who tries to work up the balls to talk to them and fails, and/or makes a complete fool of himself.
oh well....
|
Welp, I would have liked the girl blog part to be longer... oh well...
Also you should note that some people have neither job satisfaction nor the $$ from it, so if you can have one or the other you're already better off than a LOT of people.

Needs more girl blog, less politics.
Re: job, not all business school people become accounts. you become an accountant if you don't do any networking while in business school. so network.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

You don't have to have a lame job if you care enough about your life. The only think you have to do dump the idea of "life" that is created by people with lame jobs and realize that you don't actually need all this stuff and thus neither all this money. Then you can realize, how little money you really need for a nice life and that you can make this amount of money in a lot of different ways.

Just gonna respond to the Life sucks blog... I dont think you really realize what you have ahead of you..... for one Financial Analysts dont screw people over, I think you are talking about Investment banking analysts( most of which arent accountants). 99% of financial Analysts work almost exclusively with excel or a statistical program doing modelling and profit\cost forecasting for the company they work for....the title is broad and can be any range of things.
secondly a masters in accounting can set you up for life. You will literally have cream of the crop job choices at major companies. Its not like you have to set up an accounting practice. Most of the accountants I know work hard in the early years, make crazy good money, and work for Oil and Gas companies or major engineering firms. Some are CEO's, Managers, or various types of business/cost/surface/land/everything else analysts. Others work for big accounting firms in audit. Some are investment bankers, project managers, sales reps, others work in personal banking. The money is there, the rewarding job types are there, all you need is the will to go after it. My dad for example, is the CFO of a junior oil and gas company. He hardly does any accounting at all. But he is a CA (charted accountant) with an accounting degree. My sister works as an accountant for a major oil and gas companies, she gets 8 weeks paid vacation a year at 28 years old. Companies look for the accounting degrees and designations for all types of jobs simply because it shows that you are capable and competent.
I have a degree in Economics/Finance (double major) and I cant tell you how many more doors would be open if I had an accounting degree + designation...I really think you need to broaden your horizons, because that degree will get you ANYWHERE you want to go, with ANY type of company. As long as you have the will work for it. (at least this is how things are in Canada in my experience)
You also need to accept that 99% of people dont "love" their jobs, and you will have to put up with a few years of shitty jobs and work in order to get the experience you need. But honestly the sky is the limit. Either way, I think you have a lot more going for you than you realize.

@Darpa, thanks man I really appreciate your input.

The way i see it you only have one option. Baneling bust the naturall, research extend thermal lance.
GG NO RE.
FUCKING BITCH

Look, I realize all this but sometimes I feel like I didn't live up to my potential. In developed countries, people don't have to worry about the next meal; they can invest more time into leisure. That's fundamentally the way I see it. I know there is money in this field, but I'm anxious that it might not be work that I necessarily enjoy doing.

Seriously I wanted to teach her a lesson. Seeing as how she knew what Starcraft 2 was I could have at least challenged her to 1v1.

I always knew I was smart but I never got good enough grades (grades that I knew I deserved). I was a hard worker and disciplined and picked everything up quickly, but I could never quite get things together.
oh god what is this

What the heck are you talking about?!?!

You should've been wary of her closing Word as well after she closed Firefox. Didn't Word ask you if you wanted to save your work before closing it? This could have been the perfect opportunity to stop this female from closing your window without saving it. You could have pulled a move like, grabbing her hand or simply touching her and letting her know that she shouldn't do that, preferably in a flirtatious manner. Don't just sit idly there even if you haven't been "approached" by many women, just treat them like you've known them your entire life and this whole social stigma of holding women on a pedestal will disappear.
|
Not to be a stick in the mud but why is every personal blog here so negative ? Its like "Life sucks" or "There's no point"....Whats with the self-defeating attitude over here ?
|
I really hope that you were being sarcastic when you claimed that most of the people who are disappointed with Obama are racist... it's one thing to think that you're right, it's quite another to label everyone who disagrees with you as racist.
