Get Rid Of Me: Give Me The Boot & I’ll Buy You A Beer

August 11th, 2010 | 7 comments


If you haven’t come across it already, On The Go Tours is currently hosting a Get Rid Of Me contest. The winner receives a 6 months around the world trip to 18 countries from China to Kenya to Russia and more! I’ve entered to win. You can either vote for me now! Or read my schpeel & then vote for me.

I’ve always been a workaholic. I’ve been this way for so long that I don’t know what to do with myself when I don’t have work. Well, actually, I do. I go and find more work. My first trip abroad was to Shanghai. I was studying at Fudan University. I arrived a week early and had absolutely nothing to do. Before my full-fledged wanderlust kicked in, I sat in my room eating cup noodles & doing Chinese homework that was yet to be assigned to me. (What a loser, right?)

It seems like all I do is work. I worked my butt off in high school to get a 4-year Honors scholarship for college. In college, I took classes full time and interned at an ad agency part time starting Freshman year – even though everyone told me to stop wasting my time because no one would hire a Freshman.

After I graduated college, I went straight into working 50 hours a week. I didn’t take a vacation. No gap year. No time off. No nothing. I just dove right into it. So now, for the past year and a half, I’ve been working 50 hours a week, studying for my GMAT and volunteering (digitally) while trying to keep my blog afloat with content you guys would actually read.

Why should you vote to Get Rid Of Me? Because I need you to help me get my life back. So please, just give me the boot & I’ll buy you a beer the next time I roam onto your land. Vote for me!

P.S. I know the chances of me winning are pretty slim but refreshing the page every 5 seconds and seeing the number of votes go up will keep me entertained at work.
