The Death of Me! (But I'm still alive)

Last week, my entire week was taken up by Corporate Finance. I had an exam on Friday and every waking hour that wasn't spent in meetings, or class, or work was spent in my finance text book.

I am happy to report that I got an A- on my Exam! Happy day! What can I say... Finance isn't exactly my cup of tea. I have to work really hard for good grades in that class and an A- represents hours of tireless studying, lots of hot chocolate drinking from the cafe in the library, and lots of studying with groups of friends. 

My Chick-Fil-A sandwich was a heart

I was able to take a little break to go to College Night with some friends at Chick-Fil-A. They have buy one #1 combo meal and get another for free on Tuesday Nights! Sometimes I buy 2 meals for myself (because it is really for the price of 1) and sometimes I share my other meal with a friend. This time I took a picture of my sandwich because it was showin' me some love! You can see for yourself why.

The cool kids call it Po-Bev

Tons of students watching the performances

Once a month, ASUSU has an event called Poetry and a Beverage. We all call it Po-Bev for short. This weekend was the November Po-Bev and it was a blast! There were hundreds of people there and there were some really cool performances. Po-Bev is basically an open mic night. Anybody can sign up to perform and you can do anything you want. Most people will play a musical instrument or sing a karaoke song, some people recite poetry from their favorite author and others recite poetry that they’ve written.

Every month the beverage is something different. This time it was milk and cookies. It was really fun to hang out with some friends, watch some friends share their talents, and to eat some milk and cookies.

Career Exploration

Center for Economic Development Conference Room

This past week I had an AWESOME opportunity! The School of Business has a program that allows students to explore different career options. We drove down to Salt Lake super early in the morning and had appointments all day long. One of my favorite companies that we visited was a non-profit organization called Center for Economic Development. This company was located on one of the top floors in a tall building. We met in their conference room where you could see the entire Salt Lake Valley out of these HUGE windows.



The Capital Building

Some of our other visits included an investor, the Governor’s office, some political campaign consultants and the Chamber of Commerce. It was such a rich experience. I learned so much! It was great to be able to take a day to think about my future. Because of that day, I have spent some time rethinking some of my goals. Being a student is the best part of my life so far! The options are endless and every day, new opportunities present themselves! Utah State has opened so many doors for me. I can't wait to see what’s in store for me these next few days and months!
