It finally happened.

After of years of applications, interviews, and heartache I don't even want to comprehend right now, I finally secured an offer as a Private Equity Summer Analyst.

Got the offer letter this morning, and I practically shit my pants since its a Sunday.

I'm so fucking happy that I'll never have to be poor again.
