The Days Before Today Gave you Visions of Tomorrow+++
Our underlying theme remains one of looking at tomorrow with an intelligent viewpoint. And although it may seem like we seem to neglect the past, it couldn't be further from the truth. The lesson is one of subtle actions in response to what has happened, even though the future is independent of today and yesterday.

First Day of Forever
May 13, 2004

Today, I officially received my Bachelors of Science in Finance and Marketing from the Leonard N. Stern School of Business at New York University. Four years have come and gone, and I find myself feeling naked without the guilt of not doing homework. Now, there is work, and there is life.

I keep trying to divide up my knowledge base over the last four years: I'd say classes have taught me 5% of what I've learned, which is low primarily because I've never felt like I was made for schooling. 45% I will attribute to people: Colleagues and mentors alike, a vast amount of knowledge was through conferring with them, and much love goes to my beloved Investment Analysis Group, which stood as a cornerstone of my collegiate experience. The remaining 50%? Google. No, seriously. The Internet and the world that surrounds this intangible library of wealth has made me amazingly self-sufficient at finding out what I need to know. With the proper motivation, everything was possible. (This includes learning how to tie a tie.)

Greatest college experience? The people. Seriously. You guys made the $160,000 worth every penny. Almost everyone I've met here will do something wonderful in life, and I hope I can be there to witness their achievements. Me? I have a good job with good people, and I'm looking forward to the next few years. Wonderful changes abound.

Congrats! I agree with people being the greatest part of college; I've only been here one year, and I feel exactly the same way. Good luck in all your future endeavours! (I've been reading your blog for awhile; keep up the good work!)

Congrats. I remember reading your ramblings before you had your own URL. Dead-on comments about attaining knowledge. It's always been true that friends and outside sources are the real teachers.

aww, you fuckin love me.

congratulations!! i cant believe how long i've known you! :)

damn you for being excited about working leave prince street and join us bankers, you little piece of financial freshmeat ... banking bitterness abounds

Haha! I'd forgotten I'd commented on this - I was so not-bitter at that point. How cute.

Seriously, though, my friends will always be the best part of my college experience. So - that includes you, no?
