Okay, so let’s talk about how weird it was going to GMM and not having to do anything. Well, it was weird. And nice. It’s really hot to sit back and watch others do it and to be able to enjoy.

And it’s very odd to suddenly have all of this time on my hands. No more five hours of meetings a week, plus whatever else is on the side. Now I can really focus on the projects I’ve wanted to do since I joined and help out wherever I can. It’s hard to respond any other way but a quick and somewhat sad smile when people ask me if I’m on the team anymore and if I’ll be going to meetings or not. The tiny things that people say are what make you the gladdest for a year spent with all your time and energy sucked up by the biggest badass organization out there. AIESEC Michigan snagging the excellence in quality exchange award and Stacey’s comment about deciding to go to WSC after sitting and speaking to me about it—those are the things that make me glad that I nearly failed several classes and didn’t really do much beside AIESEC-related things.

This whole NFT realm is so weird. I’m not even sure where to begin. Just going to focus on stepping up impact with our SNs. I plan on effectively ROCKING THEIR WORLD.

[If AIESEC were a movie quote, the power point would be summed up with you had me at hello. Then everything else would be something a bit more crass.]

The power point sucked me in and left me with goosebumps. Talking about it really hooked me. The night that we went and saw Michael Moore speak was the night that really got me into AIESEC. Michael Moore, dinner at China Gate, a bottle of blue UV (no chasers), and dancing until I couldn’t move (of course, it was Las Ketchup over and over and over—then the Venga Boys). Socially, that’s the night that AIESEC got me. Right? Downhill from there, baby.


On another front, the scandal keeps entering my life. This time, I can’t even blame Aiesec for it. What the bump is that.

dont fall in the NFT realm. It can be deep and hard to get out of. take on something because AIESEC needs people like you in it.
