1093

I will be closing this blog when graduation comes, or shortly after. But where a door closes, a window is open elsewhere. I'll want to start a new blog detailing my life of my career adventures. And I'm sure many of my friends and even my parents are going to be utterly confused why the heck I'm doing what I'm doing for the next ten years. I even still sometimes question myself why I went to Cornell or chose Engineering. But I hope that all of this new knowledge will create something powerful in the bigger picture.

The other day I was taking a break from my MEng toy project, and googling and wiki-ing some of the people I consider to be the most influential in history. George Washington, Galileo, Buddha, Oprah, Jesus,... It made think how they got to where they ended up being. I think most people just go with it. I don't think Edison sat down and went "Alrighty! I'm going to make 10 inventions today. Let's go!" You just get inspired to create and he ended up having over 1000 patented inventions.

I don't think you're ever too young to think about what you aspire to be.

So I decided to start now. Even though I'm in my twenties, I feel like I still don't have enough time in the world to do everything I can and be everything I want to be. And for almost everything, you can only do it well when you start learning at a young age.

And to kick off my hurrah of after graduation life: GMAT exams

Does anyone in Ithaca have any spare-able Shin ramen bowls?
