People On My Campus: Saying Good-Bye

Brandon and Chip

Notice to the reader, this post mentions addiction, drug use, death and uses harsh language. 

Just got home from a wake. It was in Somerville, Massachusetts for a former student named, Chip. Chip was a student of mine at Babson in the late 90’s and early 00’s.  Chip was not like the rest of the Babson students. He just wasn’t. In a sea of overly competitive, cut-throat ‘entrepreneurs’, who oozed overly polished insincerity, Chip was a salt of the earth kind of kid. He also didn’t give a fuck what anyone thought of him.
