Hey! Welcome to the blog. I’m Drew Waggoner, and I’m currently in the 3rd and final semester of my MBA experience. I’m extremely grateful that the Hankamer School of Business has given me the opportunity to blog for the benefit of the business school, and I hope that I can provide a thought-provoking, entertaining reading experience for all of the readers who frequent the school’s website.
If you continue reading this page and follow the updates, you’ll read numerous posts that focus primarily on:
- Work-life balance. I plan to document the things that go into this balance from my perspective. Of course, everyone has a differing perspective – meaning that what constitutes a “balanced life” to one will likely be different than the “balanced life” of another. Additionally, as we progress through life, those priorities (and thus, balance) will change also. It is my humble opinion that the path to self-actualization and a fulfilling life starts with this subject.
- The course-load! Hey, all of the bloggers are at school primarily to learn, and we all spend upwards of 50 hours a week handling the duties involved with our curriculum, so we will talk about it from time to time.
- Terrible puns. We all find humor in different ways, and oftentimes I’ll use wordplay to seek humor. But don’t worry; I’ll be genuinely humorous on occasion.
- Sports. I’ve been a sports fan from birth, and I was a participant through college, so there will be times when the inner athlete in me surfaces and a story piques my interest. However, with the developments in my current studies, I’ll be capable of looking at these events from a blended sports/business perspective.
- International stories. Since coming to Baylor, I’ve become more and more interested in the viewpoints of the people from other countries, all of which have led to an interest in travel. This is an unrefined desire, as the “Places I’ve been list” only includes 10 states, the Bahamas, and Japan. However, I’m fortunate enough to live in an international age where media stories that get published on the other side of the world are available through Twitter feeds and digital media outlets, so collecting these opinions is nowhere near as difficult as it used to be.
As for a creative overall title for this blog…maybe something will develop from the “Unsponsored as of yet” e-mail inbox, or something could develop from my mind. For now, it’s just a “Blog Under the Construction of Knowledge” – as is the life of every person around the world. As I continue to document events over time, I hope to continue to evolve and BUCK the trends of the past (First Pun!) while I search for the place where I’ll make my first BUCK as a post-MBA (Second Pun!!)
Okay, I’ll stop before too many lame puns find their way into this post. Anyhow, welcome! And see you again soon.
