A Week in the Life on an MBA Student
Life as an MBA student can be chaotic, but I thrive in chaos. It seems that the more I have to do, the more I get done. Holding down two jobs and maintaining my GPA is difficult, but I know that it is preparing me for the even more chaotic business world I will face after graduation. So here it is, a week in my life. It may seem overwhelming, but at the end of each week I feel a great sense of accomplishment for making it through and maintaining my sanity!
