Get off the curb

Two years ago, my roommate and I decided a street curb is one of the worst places you can be caught sitting. During my second year, I jokingly referred to our room as “the workshop” because we were two overly imaginative 19-year-olds who spent our free time formulating crazy business plans in the hopes of getting rich, quitting school and escaping our accounting homework. Currently, as two graduating fourth years, my roommate and I obviously didn’t quit school to start a business, but there is a principle we created during the year that still motivates us: when opportunity knocks, don’t be a curb-sitter.
