Pillars of Wall Street

I’m not sure who might be reading this, but if, by some chance, you’re planning to major in Finance, Economics-Finance, or Corporate Finance & Accounting, pay attention. Tomorrow I’m attending a Pillars of Wall Street Financial Training workshop here at Bentley. Our Economics-Finance Society (which yours truly is a part of) was able to provide its members with an opportunity to complete the workshop at a steep discount (which we college kids can really appreciate). I’ve attached the link below, so if you’re at all interested in ever completing a similar program, check it out. It should be a really awesome and fundamental experience.

A Lil’ Snow Never Hurt Anybody

Being from Vermont, I’m pretty used to blizzards, snowstorms, Nor-easters, or whatever you’d like to call them; a couple feet here and there- no big deal. Unfazed, Vermonters hop in their Subaru’s equipped with studded snow tires and go about their business as usual. Waltham, and maybe all of Massachusetts, is a little bit different – thirty inches of snow and every school from Plymouth to Pittsfield is closed, streets in the burrows of Boston are traveled by ski, snowboard, or sled rather than vehicles, and every isle in Star Market, Shaw’s, Stop & Shop, you name it, are wiped clean by worried foragers. Don’t get me wrong, I would have been caught on Tuesday skiing down Darling Street in Mission Hill, raiding the Hot Pocket shelf at the 7-11, and trudging through knee-deep snow to cross the train tracks. And yes, in case you’re wondering, it was an absolute blast… for about a day and a half. And now, the aftermath.
