  1. I was actually considering getting a dual degree (BBA and BS) and majoring in Computer Science for my second degree. I really like computers and technology. I'm not too great at math, but it's something that I'm willing to work at. My strongest suit by far is reading, learning, and spitting information back out. But I honestly do feel like I'm intelligent enough to do well in almost any field as long as I apply myself to it.

    A question I've asked myself, though, and the thing that's stopping me from pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science, is how CS ties into my BBA at all. They seem like two completely independent fields, unless I want to do something in business information technology. Additionally, I wonder if the trade-off in time that it takes to pursue a dual-degree is worth it. I would have to stay a summer to study to pull it off if I wanted to graduate in the standard four years, and would have to forgo an internship opportunity by doing so.

    But then again, as a sophomore, first-year BBA, I don't know much. :)

  2. Not at all. I'm making an A+ in my financial accounting class currently, but the subject matter is dry and boring to me personally. I think that out of all the concentrations that I could pursue in my BBA program, I'd most like to go into the financial sector. Working on Wall Street sounds pretty great, and the possibility there is virtually limitless if you know what you're doing and have a little luck on your side.

    My parents are successful entrepreneurs in the textile industry that make big bucks, which is how I got started down the entire business path in the first place. My family would disown me if I told them I wanted to be an accountant. :o

    Business really is something that interests me a great deal. Being social just isn't my strong suit. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm really not a socially awkward guy by any means -- I know that for a fact. I just really dislike having to make all the asinine small talk that I see my classmates making with one another. It doesn't interest me very much. Parties don't interest me very much. I want to claw my way to the top of the business world, and I know that I'll have to make connections to do it, but it's just something that I'm not very good at is all.

  3. They're probably getting them on sale or on B&S. I don't think you can actually purchase them for so cheap under any other circumstances.

    A lot of retailers like Tobi frequently have 20-30% discounts where N&F is included, though, so maybe you should give them a shot. I picked up a pair of them a while ago from Blue Owl Workshop in Washington for about $120.

  4. Do you really like Super Brothers EP? I was thinking about getting it on my iPad, but read a lot of reviews essentially deriding it as "hipster bullshit."

    I really like Tiny Wings on my iPhone. I'm a little ashamed to admit it. :o

    Doodle Jump is great, too.

    I don't really play anything on Game Center. I just play a few games here and there when I'm bored and waiting.

  5. I'm currently attending a school with the #3 BBA program in the nation. I'm a first-year BBA student (sophomore, as it's a 3-year program), and the school is extremely competitive.

    I've found that being a BBA student requires drastically more social interaction than most other majors. In fact, for the most part, it's not just advantageous, but almost necessary if I hope to be competitive in relation to my peers. Most of my classmates are highly social and are the kids on Facebook you see with 2,000 friends, the ones that hit up all the parties, and the ones who seem to know everybody they run into.

    I'm not super-social, though. I'm not socially awkward by any means, but if I had to pick between being on my own and doing my own thing versus going to a college party, I'd pick being on my own hands down. Sounds lame, but I guess I'm just an introverted person by nature.

    As such, I think it's easy to understand how I'm not entirely meshing with my major. The entire reason why I selected to come to this school was because of the excellent BBA program, though, so switching majors is out. And while I'm not nearly as social as my classmates, I'm a hell of a lot smarter than the vast majority of them. I'm breezing through my core classes while my peers are struggling to even grasp the basic concepts. These kids aren't rocket scientists. They're the students that hope to manage the rocket scientists in the future, but when it comes to intelligence, they're not anywhere near as smart as the engineering or science students.

    The thing is, I don't think simply being good in the classroom is good enough. From what I've seen, read, and heard, networking and connecting with others is paramount to the success of any BBA student. And that's just not something I'm good at, or even something I want to be good at.

    So confused on where to go and what to do. For now, I'm just trying my best to do well in my classes and to keep my grades up. I'm participating in a business competition that 17 other top-tier schools are competing in (Notre Dame, Northwestern, Emory, etc.), and I'm hoping to bring back first prize out of everyone participating. I feel like that would be a nice feather in my cap and make me look a little better.

  6. Hey guys,

    I really want to get in on this Sufu x Ebbets hat deal, but don't own any fitted hats. I have an adjustable Yankees hat that I wear around a lot, though, and it obviously fits pretty well. Can I measure the circumference of the base of the hat and use that data to determine my hat size from the table that halomunkey posted?

    Hard to pick between the two. They both look so good. :)

    Thanks for the help!
