The Masochist's Institute of Technologyanecdotes of an ambitious MIT student

I’ve realized in the past few weeks that I haven’t blogged at all these past few months. I’ve made an average of probably 2 posts a month, and even so, they haven’t been particularly informative, nor have I made a conscious effort to achieve the goal of this blog – to give insight and advice on college life. Thus, with the beginning of the new year, I’d like to heavily return to blogging (which kept me afloat freshman year).

One of the things that I’ve always wanted to do is create a blog centered on networking practices. However, I don’t have the time nor the energy to manage more than one blog, so I will speaking more about it here. Social engineering and networking are tactics that intrigue me beyond belief. It is amazing that our connections are such important keys to get us somewhere in life, and I feel that to not take full advantage of them quite a waste.

So important I found this principle, that I spent an hour changing my blog to a new title (“Outshine”) and rearranging my posts so that only the professional, advice-based ones were visible. I had planned to continue personal blogging by setting all of my personal posts to private. After a while, though, I realized that this setup completely violated the reasons why I love blogging so much – to tell others about my life! As such, here I am, back from the grave of MIA bloggers, to once again share my extremely strong thoughts with the world.

A couple of things to which you can look forward:

1. My amazing Portuguese class
2. The lessons you learn from skating
3. The importance of planning ahead (especially with events..)
