As many of you know, I finished up the coursework for my Master of Finance in June when I passed my last exam at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. What you might not know is what all I’ve been doing since then to finally get started on my career. I’ve been keeping everything a secret…

My Last EVER Semester; Complete & in the Books
I’m sorry I’m super behind writing this post considering it’s now mid-September and my classes at Bocconi finished early June. Right after I was done with my studies I took off on my trip around Italy and then I was writing my thesis and then I moved home and so this is the first time…
I was stranded in Italy! (Not an Average Moving Vlog)
My move home was anything but uneventful. As if spending 54 hours of my life to get home wasn’t enough, my bus broke down, I had to rebook my plane, and my new flight was even delayed! It honestly felt like the world was working against me those couple of days. They say a picture…
What it’s REALLY like to Write your Master’s Thesis
I think a lot of people have some sort of preconception as to what it’s like to write a thesis or conduct some big research project. Whether it resembles reality is another question. While many may never get the opportunity (or wouldn’t ever want the opportunity cause let’s face it… it ain’t fun), and while…
Why I’m Moving Back Home
If you are not following me on social media then it might come as a surprise that my time here in Europe is coming to an end; at least for the time being. If this all seems sudden — don’t worry — it is. I had been exploring the possibility for about a month now…
Looking to Join the Real World; My Job Hunt so Far
I’m assuming most of you have caught onto the fact that this is the last semester of my Master’s degree. Just last week I sat my final lecture and all that remains is a group project, two finals, and my Master Thesis. As I do not have the luxury of a full bank account to…
Field Trip to Switzerland
Now that the semester is drawing to a close, my professors have made a switch from lecturing straight out of the book, to more hands-on, real world examples. One course took this methodology to an extreme with my first college “field trip” since my Geology of the Pacific Northwest class in community college. Mind you,…
My Weekend at Milano Design Week
Fuorisalone (or Design Week in English) is one of the biggest weeks of the year for Milan, possibly even bigger than Fashion Week and by far more accessible to the general public. It lasts a whole week and is spread out all over the city. It’s mostly for interior design, lighting and other housing materials…
My Dental Emergency in Italy
I wake up just as I do on any other day. After some (quick) causal scrolling through social media I crawl out of bed (or rather climb since I’m in a bunk at this flat) and make my way immediately to the bathroom where I use the toilet, and put my hair up and out…
A Mid-Semester Update
As I get ready to head off to Berlin for spring break, I thought now would be a good time to update you all on how my semester at Bocconi is going. Overall, things are going really well and I’m really enjoying Milan. If you just wanted the quick and dirty answer then there you…
