Hey everyone! We’re back with a fresh installment of our personal favorite segment- Domino’s, Dining Halls, and Dives<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

This is when we find a local alum (could be you next time!<\/a>), and take them out for lunch! While we’re at lunch, we chat about all sorts of stuff, including what they’re up to, and what they’re looking forward to!<\/p>\n

This week, we met up with one of your classmates, Matt Marshall ’18<\/strong>, who graduated this May with a Forestry degree from the Rubenstein School!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We caught up with him after work for a snack (a big snack) at Bueno Y Sano in South Burlington.<\/p>\n

We got to chatting with Matt, and learned more about his summer so far – from getting into lots of board games to continuing his job search – he looks like he’s having a pretty good summer so far!<\/p>\n

More from him later in the post, but first, pictures of the most important thing – the food.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

^^That’s Kathryn’s Burrito Bowl – not served in a bowl, but just as delicious as if it had been.<\/em><\/p>\n

Everyone else grabbed a burrito, some with Chipotle chicken, some with steak, all with the spicy sauce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now back to Matt:<\/p>\n

How have your first couple months out of college been so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first couple months out of school have been good so far. I went on a road trip to the Summer Camp Music Festival with some friends and spent a few days in Chicago afterwards.<\/p>\n

I’ve been to the live show for the Risk! podcast with my mom, younger sister, and my friend\/her family. I’ve been to a couple concerts around town and generally hanging out with my friends around town, we even started a Dungeons & Dragons campaign!<\/p>\n

What has been your biggest challenge?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The biggest challenge for me has been trying to find a job that will let me utilize my degree and everything I learned at UVM.<\/p>\n

How are you working on overcoming it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Always sending in applications and on the lookout for new jobs.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the biggest lesson you\u2019ve learned so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t had any life lessons come along this summer, it’s been fairly relaxed!<\/p>\n

Any advice for your classmates?<\/strong><\/p>\n

None that I feel qualified to give, since it’s only been a few months since graduation.<\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

We’ll check in with Matt again later this year and see how he’s doing, and if any life lessons have come knocking on the door!<\/p>\n

Speaking of knocking on the door…<\/p>\n

Are you local to Burlington? Would you like to get a free lunch, and chat about how your adventures since graduation? Does this post have you feeling like this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We’d love to take you out!<\/p>\n

Click through here and suggest a place to get lunch, and tell us something cool about yourself- Then, we’ll be in touch to make a date.<\/p>\n
