Doing it

Hey guys,

I've been working on that business idea i mentioned a while back and now I am at the point where I think this is golden. I have made the decision to pack up my bags, and take a one year leave of absence from Wharton (I'm a freshman) to work on this full time (maybe a permanent leave if it picks up substantially). I've approached a tiny VC and friends and so I think I have the funding to proceed. Thanks for giving me the courage to do this and the give the dice a roll, I'll be sure to fill you in on how this all ends up.

 

Bro ... you have some balls. I tried running a venture last semester only to get a 2.0 that semester. Learned my lesson.

 

Mad respect. Totally thought this thread was going to be about fucking some chick though.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.
