Let me take you through a typical second year MBA students life in his/her last semester of B-school. Job search, job search, job search.. and when you have a spec of time... JOB SEARCH. With the lagging economy, preponderant layoffs, and companies filing for chapter 9 bankruptcy; it is quite difficult to successfully job search. So while the majority of us are stressed out, I find relief in some fun. Besides, all that stress leads to wrinkles, arthritis, prescription pills called Prozac and unflattering irritability in a person's personality. I wanted to avoid all this so I found an outlet by organizing some "bonding" time with first and second years.
As co-president of NAWMBA, I wanted to get to know the first year members. So I planned a night of outing with all the girls at AMF bowling in Santa Monica! I almost made it to 3 digits (highest score was a 99). We had a great turnout as 20 1st/2nd years attended. I have to admit that it took my mind off from my daily job search and rejuvenated me for what's to come of my future. I mean, it can only get better right? Kinda like bowling, it rolls, rolls and eventually falls, hopefully hitting something along the way. So maybe if I keep at it, I'll eventually bump into something that was meant to be. That is my cure all advise to those suffering from depression, anxiety attacks and wrinkles. (common symptoms of 2nd year MBA students in his/her last semester) ^^
