In the past, I've kind of passed up the opportunity to go to accounting events. Partly because they intimidate me, and I don't feel old enough to be considering a career, but mostly because I thought they just really interfered with my social life... Anyways, this year I made the decision to incorporate accounting into my social life so I can better prepare for life after graduation.
I'm really glad that I went to this event. It was neat to meet professionals from so many different firms, and to talk to them about their jobs and their companies. I talked with some companies that I hadn't heard of before, and found a few that sound very interesting to me. I gained more knowledge of what is out there and what I want.
Tonight was "Meet the Firms" night. The accounting staff at USU kind of stressed us out a bit about this one. They were very specific about us needing to dress nicely, be professional, network, and get internships.
Naturally, I wasn't going to go to this event by myself. I feel like we've got a little accounting gang going on, and it's great.

Oh, I also gained a whole lot of what my accounting professor calls swag.
Oh yeah. It doesn't get much cooler than this.
Sunglasses?? What do sunglasses have to do with accounting?
