He loved her for not only what she was but what she might be, the idea that she might be otherwise did not occur to him or did not matter. Why would it occur? When you love you see a future according to your dreams.
All That Is, James Salter.
And then you wake the fuck up.
Morning hike up Mt. #Inari. Every time you get tired, just turn around and watch an 80-something year-old Japanese senior showing you up! 😥 #Kyoto (at Fushimi Inari-taisha)
#Kyoto might be the most beautiful city I've been. #mypetitetravels (at Kyoto, Japan)
Every time I scroll through my social media feeds
hi Mic! if you hadnt been accepted to us colleges would u be willing to study in singapore universities? this is coming from someone who truly thinks you are smart funny and beautiful.
Aw thank you! I wanted to leave Singapore, and I would have done everything to make sure that I could. It wasn’t anything against Singapore (I LOVE IT), but I wanted to try something new. Familiarity and comfort are alarming to me. I had a list of US and UK universities that would have ensured a 99% chance of leaving SG!
Do you mind sharing some of your favorite songs?
Currently: Kygo’s I See Fire remix (I’m slow, I know!), anything Kygo at the moment, and also that French YouTube band Elijay (LEJ).
You know how they say, ‘If they cheat on someone else with you, they will cheat on you with someone else’? And then you think, no, it will be different with me. LOL. Stereotypes exist for a reason.
My boss, a high flyer at Google, rather abruptly quit his job and embarks on a journey to find life's meaning. This is his blog.
Native advertising, as lucrative as it is, has no place in THE NEW YORK TIMES. Don't tell me it's "marketers" "sharing storytelling tools" with newspapers. That is some first class bullshit. Or, as John Oliver puts it, "it is not bullshit. It is repurposed bovine waste."
P.S. I don't mind that Diet Coke ad at the end though.
New Year Resolution
1. Write more.
Apparently writing more makes you happier.
2. Be happier.
3. Learn how to swim.
4. Travel to a place I've never been.
5. Go to the gym. Maybe.
hello! congrats on all your accomplishments -- it's super inspiring to the rest of us mba-hopefuls. do you think you could maybe give us an idea of what your resume looked like when you applied to b-schools, and any advice about the process? thanks! and please keep writing :)
Hmm to be honest it wasn’t one of those super impressive looking resumes with brand names. Actually, aside from Harvard there was no other “brand name”! I think when you apply to business schools as a senior in college, it is a lot about selling a vision, a future. We can talk until the cows come home about what we’re doing in the next 2 to 5 years, but it’s very rare that those things actually come true. Millennials are known for our inability to decide. I would focus on crafting a story of someone who, in twenty years, will make a difference in the world. Now, the challenge is to make that believable. Think about the common traits of people who actually have changed the world –drive, independence, a global outlook, maturity, etc– and evaluate if you measure up.
Top business schools always say that they want “future leaders of the world,” so think long term. Don’t say, I want to work for Goldman after graduation. They don’t care (actually I would venture to argue that saying that would show a great deal of immaturity). They assume that you would be smart enough to get hired at all the top companies in the world. Tell a story about how you will change the world.
Finally, be realistic. It’s 250 dollars a pop, so don’t waste your money if you’re not ready. Lots of people are in a much better shape to apply to business schools after a few years in the real world. Lots of college grads, including those who were accepted into 2+2 schemes, after 2 years in the real world realize they no longer want to have an MBA. Things change. One thing that doesn’t is that the 2+2 pool is always more competitive, at least in terms of GPA and test scores. As it should be. It’s the Early Action of MBA! So if you’re not ready as a senior, take a breather, be great at your job. Enjoy life for a while. You don’t always have to “have a plan.” You’ll be fine.
Michelle, please tell us about your time management system. How do you find the motivation and what are your strategies to apply and GET all these scholarships, job offers, and awesome post-grads opportunities. You are such a role model and a true cultural chameleon. How do you achieve all your dreams? You are so inspiring for "making it" as an English major. Please find some time to share your advice - yes , maybe you should be a private consultant! :) - Your long time reader.
I’m terrible at organization. My desk is always an exploding mess. I don’t think it’s so much as I’m good at managing my time, but rather, I’m able to do things quickly. Once I deem something as important, I have this obsessive desire to get it done now. I’ll drop everything else I’m doing. I won’t even eat! (And if you know me, food is important.) Over the years, one of the things I’ve been trying to work on is determine, of the many many tasks I have, which ones are the most important. It’s hard though. Being organized and being patient are two gifts that I don’t have :(
One other way to look at it is that I have major ADHD and I have to be doing many things at the same time. Thanks for calling me a role model but I am faaaaaar from one. I’m too flawed!
congrats on graduating!
Yaaaaassss! That was over a year ago. I feel ancient.
Fat Acceptance is Boo-Hockey
I really don't understand why this is a thing. If I suddenly blow up four sizes and someone tells me I'm "beautiful just the way I am" and should continue eating that fifth piece of pizza, I'm going to throw it at their face.
Fat dogs go on diets and exercise because we love them and we want them to live a long, healthy life, but fat humans are told it's okay carry on? Why do people turn it into a gender thing? No, ALL fat people should take better care of themselves.
Speaking of, here's the dachshund weight-loss story. So cute and inspiring for us all!
Tell a Story.
Congrats on all your achievements! You were able to secure MBA acceptances, job offers, and scholarships for your post-grad life. Any tips on grad schools, scholarships apps, CV/resume, cover letter, and interviews? Thanks so much! I know you are probably sick of people asking for advice but your help would be greatly valuable. Appreciatively, Long-Time Blog Reader.
I have so many! If only I find the time to write a very very long post. Or maybe I should consider becoming a private consultant ;)
DNS issues resolved :)
