Bienvenido!

Look who finally decided to post... I am not quite sure why I created this blog a couple months ago but for some reason I never posted anything. I was probably feeling bored with life and going through the on again off again "quarter life crisis." It was weird. Throughout my life I never had any complaints with life and was always satisfied. Just before the end of college I had it all: a bunch of friends around and in the area, job offers, classes for half the week, a newborn nephew, and the "perfect" girlfriend. Fast forward a few months later, I have been working for a few months and already gotten sick of it, friends dispersed, and the girl of my dreams moved 9,000 miles away. Basically, a year and a half went by with me just going through the motions of life. Waking up, going to work, come home, go to sleep, and party on weekends and taco tuesday. Throw in a few highlights such as my trip to South America and Cancun as well as some trips to Vegas and SF and ont he surface my life was great. For some reason, I was not feeling fulfilled, as I am sure most people my age feel out of college. They want to take over the world and conquer everything in sight and when that does not happen it sucks. I thought long and I thought hard... What do I need to do to change the way I feel and am living life? The answer was sooo clear. All I had to do was.......

BLOG!!!!





haha no thats not it. But I did come up with this theory. We live our whole lives with a set of almost predetermined goals. We do not really set these goals, but society sets them for us as the definition of success. Get good grades, graduate high school, get into college, get more good grades, graduate college, and then find a good job. Depending on your ambition and a number of other factors these goals can differ in a variety of ways, but ultimately, these are the kinds of goals our generation typically has had. I achieved all of the above and came to a point where society no longer had a path or set of goals laid out for me the way they were before. The next logical step would be to buy a home, find a wife, and mulitply till my penis no longer works. But I definitely do not want any of that any time soon, except maybe a house, which I plan on winning in next month's fundraiser raffle for one of the richest school districts in CA. The point is, I spent a year and a half coasting through life and waiting for goals to be handed to me rather than taking charge on my own. Before, these goals were laid out and everything I did, go to school etc., was for ultimate goal achieval. Graduate and get a job. I needed to set some goals for myself because those are what I truly think make us feel complete. I could shave a wooly mammoth and pick up its shit if I knew it was going to help me achieve a greater goal of mine. So I have created goals and as a result I have felt much more complete and fulfilled because I am looking at what I do as a pathway to the accomplishment of my goals, which is a great feeling. Here is the number one goal at the moment:



Get into an MBA program with USC and UNC being at the top of my list.



Steps to meet this goal: Take additional classes required before entering the program (currently taking accounting and Business Law). Take a GMAT class in the summer. Find opportunities that help me meet the mission statement of the fellowship I want to apply to.



If this goal is accomplished I have another goal to travel as much of the world as I can from the point at which I am accepted until I must return to start school.

Ladies and gentlemen, the old Dan is back, and I guess I will take you along for the ride with this blog thing.

I had to post this much to provide a background. Hopefully more of my posts will not be as boring and will have a more fun element to them. HOPEFULLY haha.
