Chicago Business

I have been a Booth student for a couple of months now, and have enjoyed my time thus far. That being said, I would like to share a couple of random thoughts with you that have possibly crossed your mind as well.

Why doesn't the entire city know that Chicago Booth is the new name for the business school?

Seriously, having to explain to people why they should be impressed completely defeats the point of telling them. This makes it hard for my Booth sweater to be the aphrodisiac that I know it should be.

Since Chicago Booth is top-ranked, is it too much to ask that my title at my internships has "franchise player" in it?

Why am I having to share space in the cafeteria with kids from the lab school? I shouldn't have to sit next to someone whose idea of LPF is a lunchables and a Capri Sun.

Every time I see "cheers" as the salutation if an e-mail, I assume the person is on the verge of being an alcoholic.

Why would one person reserve a group study room at the Gleacher Center for just them? That's like putting on a condom to masturbate; technically it's allowed, but its true potential is only realized when used in crowds...wait, that's not right.

Remember how you thought people who were always checking their BlackBerrys were lame for pretending to be so important? Congratulations, you really are that busy, but to the rest of the world you are that annoying person.

The 49 of us appreciate your "reply all" on that e-mail invite to let us know that you'll be 10 minutes late to the bar. Nice.

I hate being asked by recruiters what function I would like to do within a company. I'm willing to do many things within a company. That's not exactly the same as what I want to do. Honestly, I want to run s%$t but that wasn't in the drop-down box on the website application.

Hey guy-who-wants-to-question-every-point-the-professor-makes-so-you-seem-smart. Challenge everything does not mean challenge EVERYTHING.

How about accepting the challenge to just be quiet for 10 minutes and relieve your classmates from the challenge of having to deal with you.

Graduation would be awesome if a gift bag consisting of a new liver were handed out along with degrees. That should be built into tuition.

These are some of my rants. What random rant do you want to share?
