IB is paradise

IB is paradise. Fuck what everyone else says. I love the grind — I look forward to my 80-100 hour workweeks. When im out clubbing, I love it when my boss forces me to come into the office and turn comments. I see my consulting and tech friends coasting through life, with all their company benefits. Fuck it. I don’t enjoy having the easy life. The grind gives dopamine. No sleep gives me happiness. Cocaine and adderall running through my blood is peak human life. No sleep is paradise. Stimulants are paradise. IB is paradise.
