The wrong things to focus on

A semester comes to and end and leaves in its wake 4 days of idleness. People have left for home and the campus lies in a silent reverie.

Accelerated programs don't allow time to think. It is upto the individual to realize that its not just about the courses. Economics and Statistics are not really going to work in the workplace. The networking and knowledge gathering is what is going to matter. I try to remind myself about it every day. And amongst the sad, dejected yet aggressively competitive classmates, you keep forgetting it.

Things that are enjoyable and are a part of any business student's daily diet are lost. Newspapers are not read, articles are not consulted. Just courses after courses and exams after exams.
