Shout Outs!
The Chef
Issue date: 9/29/08 Section: Opinions
Hello lemmings. You all look so pretty and shiny in your suits as you move from presentation to presentation nibbling on soggy turkey wraps and collecting Nalgene bottles as you go. It's cool though, we've all been there. If you are one of the few who actually likes these presentations and asks a ton of questions there's a good chance that when Fall B rolls around and it's time to make groups for class…uh oh, someone doesn't have a group, and it looks like the three mutes who sit in the corner need a fourth. Good luck with that. And just so you know, just because they never talk it doesn't mean they like you. In fact, they quietly hate you. Very quietly.
If you are looking for advice on the recruiting process I suggest you look elsewhere. If you are already overwhelmed and need a hug I suggest you sign up for an MO class. If you are frustrated and need to blow off some steam I suggest quarters at The Jug. Other than that, I got nothing. All I know is that at some point the fake smiles and head nodding get to be too much and there will be a turning point when you decide enough is enough. For me it was when a small international female MBA1 elbowed me square in the gut and then boxed me out of a circle. After I caught my breath I walked over to the spread, grabbed a handful of shrimp, stuffed them in my pocket and bounced. That was the last corporate presentation I ever went to. Enjoy the recruiting season. Onto the Shout Outs….
- To all Ross students…the first person to have sex in the new business school: take a picture of it, submit it to the MSJ's Photo of the Week, and you'll win two free movie tickets.
- To you with the sniffles…don't come near me, don't touch my books, and don't breathe on me.
- To the RSA…when's that MBA/BBA mixer happening?
- To MAcc students…Can you explain that Finance Receivables item again? It's so fascinating. Nah, I'm just joking.
- To BTB and Panchero's…Four words I know you don't want to hear: Chipotle. Is. Here. B****es.
- To the Office of Student Life…B-school business cards are totally unnecessary except for when you need a toothpick and do not have one.
- To Mom and Dad…hi, you made the Shout Outs.
