Happy Wednesday Travelers! I hope your Christmases were awesome! I am spending it with my mother and as we speak, she and I should be on our way to Disneyland for the first time for both of us. (I am pre-writing this post so I will have to come back to confirm this) Now, we all know that since I am in B-School...

Let's just dig in... I have said it before and I will say it again, Shonda Rhimes holds my emotions in the palm of her hands with her shows Scandal and Grey's Anatomy on ABC, and it is yesterday's episode of Grey's "Beautiful Doom" that has inspired this post. I will not give details of the episode for those who have not seen...

Happy Tuesday Travelers, (I am going to stop calling you that...I'm over it) While doing research for a blog post I came up on FastCompany (a magazine I know very little about) and their vlog section "30 Second MBA." In this section FastCompany gives the CEOs of various corporations 30 seconds to answer the questions on topics ranging from conflict resolution to meeting...

Happy Monday Travelers! As I procrastinate doing research on my economics paper on Foreign Direct Investment and Corruption, I create this blog post on choosing your career when you know the whole truth (or as much as Google and Forbes Women will tell you...). Recently I came across (read it was on my twitter timeline) a mini-series about the industry of consulting and...

Travelers, This morning an article came across my timeline from the New York Times about Accelerators being more benefitial in lesson and network for students than B-School*. I have to be honest today was the first time I had ever even heard of accelerators, fully, and still don't get how this would benefit me more than my MBA program. Still there is no...

Since we all know that I have let go of Confessions blog and am back to No Fear, I will be working to build and recreate the site. Time for an upgrade and a higher calling of what this is supposed to be. The transition may take a few weeks, but then there will be much more consistency. I can't wait to see...

So yeah...this didn't really ever happen. I am so glad that this was just in Draft form and not an actual post. I will try to get the two combined and maybe turn Clacker into a series on here, but I can't give this up. Once I have gotten my rhythm again then I will work on being a better writer as well...

Happy Wednesday Travelers, Lately I have been experiencing a serious She-Rah-esqe vibe. It may be a combination of the sermon's that I have been exposed to of late professing the power of the woman, mixed in with the recent victories of so many female US athletes, either neither I have been all "I can conquer the fashion entire world!" (insert DVF comic book...

Yesterday in my Mary Kay unit meeting we were charged to write out 50 Reasons of Why You Must Make This Work to the soundtrack of Nicki Minaj's Fly and Wiz Kalifah (sp?) Work Hard Play Hard. It was so much fun! Women were scrambling to get out of their own way and finish their lists in the allotted time; it's crazy what...
