I just can't do it. This is the first night in seemingly forever where I haven't been loaded down with some sort of commitment. I thought I could possibly pull things together once I was back from spring break, but school and life just get in the way too often to be sufficiently active here. It's hard because once you get behind in this league you can become so out of the loop. I certainly will be by to chat, but I just don't think I can be a GM. It's not fair to the league, and it's probably not a distraction I should have in my life while I'm just getting started at a job soon. I was worried this would happen when I joined, and I think it's just unavoidable.
I graduate SIX WEEKS from today now, on May 8th! That's so crazy. Life just goes flying by sometimes. Things change so quickly. It's so important to be happy in life. It's just too short to justify being miserable I think. Hopefully I will be able to fall into a career that allows both success and happiness. Anyway, I will certainly stop by the boards to chat with you guys whenever I can. After this draft, my team has all of their draft picks and a manageable salary situation, so the next GM should be in decent enough shape. Hope you guys can keep things running strong!

I miss you Scott. This is probably one of the worst times to graduate, but I hope the best for you man.

Yeah, it's bad fucking timing, but I'm going to be fine. I have some solid job options. Trying to decide what I actually want to do. I've had to really do a lot of hard, deep thinking lately about what I want over the next ten years and in my life as a whole. Money can't buy happiness, you know. I was had an opportunity to take a position with an investment bank. I would have started at $160,000. And that's in a market where $160,000 goes way further than somewhere like NYC. However, 100+ hours weeks would have been routine, and I would have been a slave to the almighty dollar in many ways. I would never have had any time to do things with friends, females, or enjoy life. Not to mention, I quite possibly would have flat out burnt myself out within a couple years. A lot of the guys that do that sleep at their fucking offices or just go without hardly any sleep at all. I can't do that shit. I am determined to enjoy life in my 20s. Anyway, I have some job opportunities working with some great people doing some things I really have a knack for. I think it will all work out nicely. And I'm still kicking around the idea of going to law school too. We'll see how it all works out, I suppose.
Dash, what are you doing these days?

100+ hours a week is routine? I'm glad you said money isn't everything because that would be a shitty life.

Graduating in 3 years? Nice. I'll be lucky to get out of here in under 5, thanks to this seasonal class selection.
