Haas welcomes students back to the comfort of school for another year

Second-Years Model Standard Haas Attire: Neon Tights and Cut-off Jeans

It wasn’t waking up early every morning, nor was it sitting for hours toying with PowerPoint in my windowless cubicle.  It could have been the new addiction to Facebook, but it certainly wasn’t the bi-weekly paycheck I was receiving.  Perhaps it was the lack of theme parties? 

I guess it could have been anything.  See, for a long time I didn’t know why I missed Haas and Berkeley.  And then it hit me.  As I picked up my dry cleaning for the last time, I eyed the $27 price tag and understood exactly what it was: I missed wearing my dirty Pumas and a hoodie every single day. 

It was at that moment that I realized I was ready to return to the warmth and comfort of the Haas bubble.  Well, to be fair, it was both escaping the confines of business casual clothing and the prospect of teaming with my beloved fellow second-years in corrupting the young and malleable minds of the first-year MBAs that really drew me back to campus.

Knowing most of the second-years, I’m not so much interested … However, I have perused the first-year facebook and have identified some potentials.  How do I get their attention away from the cute girls in the first-year class?

A summer of lessons learned  - How to succeed at your summer job  

Image
           

As part of my summer internship at a digital infrastructure company, my job was to figure out the APAC strategy for one of the product lines, OCSMS.

My routine was pretty basic: go to the office, sit in front of the computer, read news and reply to e-mail. So pretty much anybody could do my job...well not really, as some of the e-mail issues I deal with can be quite dangerous.    

One day I got to work, sat down and grabbed a cup of Starbucks coffee (they are everywhere...including the unglamorous and dingy pantry at my office), trained my eyes to the dim light and switched on my computer.
