Now that fall has officially arrived and the school year is well underway, I figured I'd give an update on what I've been up to recently.
First, whoever said senior year is a breeze was totally lying. Classes in general aren't too bad, but that's due in large part to the fact that I'm taking mostly business classes this semester and my one non-business class is writing my thesis. Considering I chose the topic for my thesis it's really a good project to get to do. But to add the stress of figuring out your entire life? That's a challenge.
Fall happens to be Accounting recruiting season. I spent September researching the different areas within the accounting field and the many different companies. It was a matter of deciding if I wanted to work for a big firm (like PwC, McGladrey, E&Y, KPMG, Deloitte, etc.), work in the accounting department of a company, or do a financial rotational program. Then, I had to decide between taxes and assurance (I went with assurance). Now, as I go through the interview process, I have to decide which company is the best mutual fit. But at least I know that I want to do accounting. I can't imagine how hard it would be to have absolutely NO idea.
On the plus side (because it certainly hasn't been all stress) I'm back! I'm at Babson with all of my people. It is really good to be back in my routine. And I love being able to do pretty much anything because I know the system. My focus has certainly been on reconnecting with all of my old friends, but still trying to make some new ones.
I'll post videos and pictures later, but some highlights:
Brian's off to college! Meghan and I took a weekend to move Brian up to UMaine. He seems to be really enjoying it so far. So proud of him!
Mixfest! I went with a coworker from this summer and a few friends. We saw Andy Grammer, Gavin Degraw, and Train. It was a great concert. We especially had fun when it started to pour on us. The dancing and singing in the rain was definitely the best way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
#BacktoBabson! Got to see some of my favorite alumni. There were certainly some I would have loved to see but didn't get the chance to, but hopefully they'll be around soon.
Now it's time to rock some interviews (and hopefully get rid of my allergies :P). Wish me luck!
