Quoting an eminent classmate:

Reflecting on 2023, it was a year of resilience and transformation for us as we graduated from Wharton. Amidst a challenging economic climate and the global concerns about terror, notably from groups like Hamas, we navigated career pivots and personal milestones. We celebrated love through engagements and marriages, faced breakups, and coped with personal losses. These experiences demonstrated our adaptability and strength, qualities. As 2024 begins, my hope for us is to find love, happiness, and prosperity, despite the economic hurdles. May we also find moments of peace and reunite with those dear to us, with a special thought for @⁨Moshe Emilio Lavi⁩. Here's to a year where we continue to grow and thrive, ready to face whatever challenges and opportunities lie ahead. Onward and upward! ❤️💪

Gonna wear this tiara all year! Welcome 2024, I love a worthy adversary as long as I have good company by my side. Amazing dinner with my wonderful companion who doesn't know what Instagram is! Lol for the best. Looking forward to a year of KO’s, uniqueness (or so they say), great lashes and graduation! Thank you God for keeping this girl on the up and up.

Best feeling in the world: getting to use the throw rug you bought to decorate the couch 6 months ago, FOR ITS ACTUAL PURPOSE! Snuggling in PJ’s, alone, not harassed or plagued by commitments to anything. Picked up a chocolate milkshake too. Yum! Night all!

I’m actually not the night owl that people think I am. It’s never a choice it’s circumstance. But today there are no do or die deadlines, or multiple rewrites or calculations. In fact my professor, god bless her, actually said my first draft was perfect as is. Things like this make me happy, because I find it hard to eat, sleep or be in peace till the work is done. I envy people who can put things off till tomorrow. I digress however. Today I ate loaded rings, got my nails done, blowout and going to bed at 10.30 pm which has been a far fetched dream for the past 4 months.

What can I say? Queen bee. Takes time, patience, grace and consistence. But at the end we prevail! Huge thank you to my mentor for all the support this semester! ♥️♾️

For all the rough and tumble of this semester, managing stress and timelines has been worth it. Now tending to me. Much needed self-care!

Woke up feeling like a snowflake even though we have no snow. It’s funny how great sleep can get you up early and chipper. Huge shoutout to Venky Rajgopal and Rama Rajgopal for being my silent rocks this semester. Killer finish. Yes, I’m a grade grind who will never grow up. 😝😝😝😝

Feeling stuck is normal. Especially when you’re writing about things you care deeply about and only in educated hindsight realize how much it affected you. And more importantly, affecting others to this day. Powering through would be my go to, but that’s not always my best work. Learning to take a minute and circle back. Seems basic, but I seem to be learning a whole lot of basic right now.

Everyday with the halo is a blessing. 2023 has been such a wonderful journey of small wins, memorable conversations and not sweating the small stuff. No dimming here. Feeling like a million $$$$. It’s all in the mind.

Squabble. Scrabble. Scribble. Unplanned honeymoons. Still arch nemeses, but the only person who thinks fish oil capsules are the equivalent of chocolate, wine and wings! .shirk

Beautiful day in my home city of ♥️♾️ with my favorite and grouchy tour guide! .shirk

Most beautiful person I’ve ever met in a long ass time! Hehe. To many more Queen!
