McIntireONE

One of the things I am most thankful for was my opportunity to attend the University of Virginia and the McIntire School of Commerce for my undergrad education (more on that another time).

To show my thanks, I was excited to participate in the McIntireONE campaign that kicked off this week. For any donation by a young alum to the comm school given in the month of March, a donor will contribute an additional $100.

So, if you’re a recent graduate of the comm school, take five minutes to give five dollars (or more!):

Seriously This Time

So obviously my expectations re-setting did not go so well last time as I still haven’t made another blog post. Right on. 

Here we go again. I even renamed the blog to version 2. I felt that was appropriate for a couple of reasons:

(1) I’m starting version 2 of my career at Accenture on Monday. Ah! I’ll be hitting the road again on a weekly basis, this time to Cleveland. Don’t be jealous.

(2) My viewpoint has changed a lot since I wrote my first blog post just 10 short months ago. For some reason, I had this misconception that I had to have it all figured out and that I needed to have a plan (for my whole life apparently?). My friends and family know that I LOVE plans. I can barely operate without a to-do list of some sorts. But seriously, how can you plan your whole life out at the age of 27?

What you can expect from Tall Orders v2:

• Things that make me happy (pictures, recipes, restaurants, books, my family, soccer, running, friends, etc.)
• Things that interest me (leadership, tech stuff, UVA, McIntire, volunteering, etc.)
• Things I care about (The Madison, The Tenfold Forty, women’s rights in developing countries, DC, etc.)

And hopefully my career and my “plan” fall into one of those three categories, somewhere.
