Some Life Advice:
1. Enjoy being young and crazy in college when you can, because before you know it, it’ll seem boring. Not to be cynical, but funneling Natty Light just loses it’s edge after a few years.
2. People love genuineness.
3. Don’t be sympathetic, be empathetic.
4. Develop a knowledge of fine liquor as early as possible, it goes a LONG way when meeting with older business people.
