Company Goldilocks.

I spent a lot of my freshman year of college complaining to my therapist that I wished I wanted to be in the business school, but I just couldn't. All I wanted to do, I said, was write stories.

I never saw myself in business school. In fact, even now sometimes I don't see myself here. I often wake up feeling like I'm in some kind of movie where the protagonist wakes up in someone else's life, with new friends, a new routine, a new vocabulary and a new reflection in the mirror.

But here I am.

I had reasons for coming here -- damn legitimate ones, I might add -- but it's hard to stay steady and true to those. It's been especially hard during the recruiting process.

But there's one organization I have my sites set on. The second I found it, it was like finding the perfect thing in a store, like trying out a million chairs and finally finding one that supported you and would let you sit down and relax.

I know, it's a weird way to talk about a company. But I've been swapping emails with an alum there and from the first one we CLICKED and I just want to give her a hug and say THANK YOU for validating my existence.

Now, I just have to get them to love me back....
