I know all of you have been eagerly waiting for a new blog post, so here it is. I’d like to write more casual pieces for my blog as well. The context for today is: for a good amount of my last semester at Duke, I went through a serious slump and depressive episode. This article describes part of my journey getting out of that and future outlook.

I’m in my last year of college. The previous semester, after disliking my summer internship experience in finance, I spent a lot of time working through a latent crisis brewing under all my efforts to enjoy my final school year. Nearly all my friends have accepted return offers, while I am still unemployed. I carefully considered what I wanted to do, no — what I even could do for a job that could take up half of my waking hours. This post details how, after 3 years of being committed to finance, I suddenly decided to take a different path.
