Dear Oppy: March 20211 min read

We are proud to continue our agony advice column, Dear Oppy: B-School Advice for the Everyday Sternie – “real questions, terrible advice.”

Oppy can be quite Stern at times but is here to answer the queries and qualms of all MBA students so send them his/her way at oppy@stern.nyu.edu or fill this out, anonymously.

Dear Oppy,

Why does being an MBA student have to be so hard during these times? I just want to give up, quit virtual classes, and become an influencer but the idea of $240k being a sunk cost is stopping me. I cannot believe I am going to have to miss another Yacht Week this year. I mean no DBis and just domestic travel. Hawaii and Colorado aren’t even that great. What type of MBA experience is this? I didn’t even get to lose those COVID-19 lbs.

Best,

Influenced by the Pandemic

Dear Influenced,

Curious as to what type of influencer you possibly think you could be? The only thing you influence is the mood – by sucking the positive energy out of our souls. I wish you lost a lot more than weight to COVID…

Best,

Oppy

Dear Oppy,

PLEASE HAVE EVERYONE YOU KNOW SIGN THIS PETITION THAT STERN STUDENTS NEED TO BE PRIORITIZED TO BE VACCINATED.

THERE ARE ONLY TWO MORE MONTHS LEFT WHERE WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEER BLAST.

Dear Socio-compromised,

Errrrrr. I don’t think your need to drink falls under immunocompromised. Try clicking here instead.

Best of luck with your endeavors,

Oppy
