2018 in Review: Lessons Learned and Reflections on Patience and Confidence

When I think back to how crazy 2018 was, it really was that.   Crazy.   I worked for an NFL franchise, led a student organization, started a journey at a consulting firm, and got closer to getting my dream job. On a personal level, I saw some of my oldest friendships fall apart while making new friends along the way. I lived completely by myself for the first time, celebrated my 21 st birthday, saw Hamilton, watched the Giants draft Saquon Barkley, traveled to Georgia and Texas for the first times, actually took working out seriously (still need to be more consistent 😃) visited Giants training camp for the first time, traveled to Switzerland for the first time, learned Tableau, saw Creed 2 and listened to the soundtrack 40 times before final exams😅, and somehow graduated college in three-and-a-half-years.   If I think to two lessons that I’ll take away from 2018, they are patience and confidence.   Patience, to be frank, has been the most challenging whether in relationships,

Reflection: My Experience with the Aquarium Hobby & the Decline of Small Business

From my earliest childhood memories, I can remember this large structure at the center of my grandparents' old house- connecting our family room to the foyer, kitchen, and library.  In a weird way, this same tank has represented a constant during my life as something that's always been part of my journey so far.  When we moved twice between 2002 and 2004, the tank came with us and still resides in a same central location, c

Relaunching the Blog: Reintroduction & A New Project

Image
Welcome to The Rishab Report- a blog about my thoughts on football, analytics, music, movies, college, and life in general.  Every week I'll try to write two posts on these topics and hope to engage in a great discussion with all of you!  Several years ago (mostly in high school), I used this blog to write about the NFL and electoral politics.  Since then, life has taken me on quite a rollar coaster and I've had many experiences that I've wanted to discuss. I hope you'll find my perspectives interesting and enjoyable to read as I finish my last semester of college. The topics I write about may change over time, but if you have any suggestions, you can let me know via the comments section. With that in mind, let's begin! As many of you may know, I've become an avid New York Giants fan- and my fandom really grew in college as I was away from home and wanted to find an outlet to stay close to it.  With my passion for the team and analytics, I've spent a lot
