Hello there my name is Jonathan Liu. I know this blog post may be late but i just finally got access to it today. Within  the link is a 8 picture slide show that I had made about my interests. First of all I like to make origami but don’t have the time to do it anymore. I play a few video games that includes League of Legends, the teemo summoner icon, and aion, a not very well known mmorpg. I have build my own computer and I am always wanting to learn about the latest technology being released everyday. The picture of my dog you ask? Well he somehow got into my parents closet and was hiding in it when the picture was taken.

Hey Everyone,

Although I believe a set of pictures can’t really come close to expressing our feelings about all the things we chose to identify ourselves with, this is my poor attempt. The two most important things to be are my friends and family. Me and my sisters are extremely close and I have no idea what I would do without them 🙂 my parent too of course, they’re like my biggest supporters, when their not mad at me but thats besides the point. I’m greek and that is a big part of how I choose to identify myself, having lived in Greece for two years and going back to visit every so often I have managed to stay close to my heritage. But I still miss Greece 🙁 and hope to one day be able to travel back and forth more often. And I LOVE chocolate … but then again who doesn’t!!? 😀

Oh and I’m also extremely terrified of pigeons.

I am trying to post the slideshow, but I guess the storage is full. I will upload it later when the space is available. Below is my post.

My name is Chun Lu or Claire. Currently I study at Baruch College as a freshman with undecided major, but it should relate to business, I guess. My hometown is in Shanghai, located at the east coast of China. I moved to New York several years ago for a better education. Playing piano is my interest. I start to learn and play it when I was five. I enjoy having piano classes with my teacher. In addition, I like to watch musicals and concerts. Painting is my other interest. One of my paintings had been exhibited at Beijing Museum. However, I did not remember what I drew because at that time I was in elementary school. I joined a painting club at the high school. It was fun.Lastly, I enjoy going to theme parks with my friends. The atmosphere of the amusement park let me feel exciting. Even though I am afraid of the roller coaster, I enjoy riding it.

Hello, everybody my name is Simona Kazinets and I hope maybe after reading this you might get to know me a little bit better. I just started attending Baruch this fall and I hope in the future to major in business. To back track, I came here about 8 years ago to a small town called Fair Lawn in New Jersey. Some of you might know where it is if I tell you its by the Garden State Plaza mall. So, I came here from Israel knowing absolutely no English. With the years to come I started to pick up the language and now I’m able to add it to the number of languages I can speak (Hebrew and Russian). I have a younger brother who sometimes gets on my nervous but no how annoying he gets I still love him. Now that you know some of my background, I hope some of you share the same interests and likes that I do. Watching movies is what I live for, its something that I’m really into and probably do almost every weekend. Right now I’m obsessed with Frozen but let’s be real who is not! I love the movie world and basically the whole “hollywood” world. I’m also really into basketball and my team is the Knicks, (yes, I know they aren’t doing so well right now but just give them time) I actually got to watch them last year on my birthday. Travelling is also something that I love. I got to go to London and Italy this year and both of those places were extremely beautiful. High school was a crazy experience and I’m looking forward to making this college experience as best as it can be.

!10 song playlist

This post speaks to who I am minimally. I do not think that 10 songs can sum me up as a person. I think we’re all too complex to be summarized by a couple of pictures or songs but I did the best I could with the parameters I was given. I chose the song Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana because its awesome and its my favorite song of all time. I chose Back Down by 50 Cent because I don’t give up. I believe the your only a loser when you stop trying and usually the person in first place is the one who gives up last. I chose One Mic by Nas because you can feel his passion and emotion in the song so thoroughly. This is represents me because I am a passionate person. I chose God Gave Me Style by 50 Cent because the song is really smooth and it makes me feel better when I’m feeling down. I chose Hustler’s Ambition by 50 Cent because I work hard and I relate to his drive. I chose Don’t You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia because I know whatever happens and whatever is thrown at me that I’ll get through it. Life goes on and I move on just as quick. I chose NY State of Mind by Nas because I am a true New Yorker by every definition. I chose If I Can’t by 50 Cent because if I can’t do it it can’t be done. i can do anything i set my mind to. I chose Beautiful People by Benny Benassi/Chris Brown because I am a very positive person  and i see everyone in a positive light. I also chose it because the song makes me feel good. Every time i hear it i feel happy. I chose Bring the Noise Remix by Benny Benassi/Public Enemy because I like to turn up and the remix is awesome.

My name is Michael Bong.

You may call me Bong.

I like coffee, animals, coffee, food, and coffee.

Some of the pictures are things I find humorous.

Why can’t I upload pictures straight to this post?

I don’t understand how this blog works.

Someone’s bedroom/living space can say a lot about that person.

So hopefully, you will learn a bit more about me after this little tour of my room. 🙂

The first thing you’ll notice will probably be my many posters. This is only a small part of my wall, but it’s my favorite! Some are photographs from an art book, and the photos of the foliage and the waterfall were from a nature book.

The yellow house was a souvenir I got on a trip to the Bermudas (Yellow is my favorite color, and I was captivated by the architecture in Bermuda).

The painting is “Poppy Field” by Claude Monet.

Here’s where I get my work done! I’m very conscious about keeping a clean workspace (well, a clean room in general).

As you may have noticed, my wallpaper is a photo of Kwik-E-Mart. I took the photo when I went to “Springfield” in Universal Studios two summers ago. It was a dream come true! I’m a huge Simpsons fan.

…Told ya so! At this point I’m actually considering a tattoo of Milhouse on my upper arm.

Here’s my growing collection of knick-knacks. I love knick-knacks. Please bring me all of  your knick-knacks.

See the towering Finn figurine? Well, I’m a huge Adventure Time fan! I have a TON of Adventure Time merch, and I have been dressing up as Fionna for the past two Halloweens.

This is a section of my bookshelf. I do enjoy reading, but college hasn’t allowed me enough time to indulge as much lately. There are more knick-knacks on the shelves. (The shark I got from the Bahamas, and the coin is actually a Bermudan quarter!)

And on my bookshelf, I have a bunch of journals. You must be wondering- what kind of secrets is this girl keeping that requires her to get so many journals?

The answer is, there are no secrets. I just write/draw a lot. And I really love journals.

And of course, like many other folks, music is a big part of my life. I love going to live shows, and that was one of the main reasons I stayed behind in NYC.

In the picture are my two favorite vinyl records, Reptilians by Starf**cker (questionable name, but amazing music), and Modern Vampires of the City by Vampire Weekend.

And kids, if you want to save money, don’t ever get a record player. Vinyls WILL break your bank. 🙁

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention. I have a roommate! He’s a Roborovski dwarf hamster named Walt (short for Walter White). He’s a bit shy, but he sure loves his hamster wheel. And profiting off of his lucrative meth business.

And that concludes the sneak peek into my life. Being an only child can get lonely sometimes, so everyone is free to come over and hang out.

I’ll have the snacks, as long as you bring the knick-knacks.

My Photo Collage

Sometimes it’s so hard to start a blog post

Well, first of all, I would like to reintroduce myself. My name is Alexandra Ten and I am an international freshmen student in Baruch College. I was born in Russia, but my mother is Korean (and a little bit Japanese) and my father is Armenian. However, my father left me when I was 4 years old and I have never actually seen him since then, that’s why I have been brought up in totally Asian traditions (one thing that I love about Korean culture is its cuisine).

In the age of 7 I started going to the Performing Arts School in my hometown where I studied piano, music theory, music history, and guitar and sang in the chorus. I’ve been playing the piano for almost a decade and I think that this is one of the important things I want you to know about me after reading this post. Even though I am an artist and greatly fond of music, I want to pursue my career in the Mathematics Field. I would like to major in Actuarial Studies or Accounting. Although, almost all of my relatives are doctors and being one is like a dynasty in my family (my grandfather and grandmother started it; he was a great pulmonologist and a professor in Medical School in Russia and my grandmother was a head therapist in a hospital), I am not sure that I will change my mind about my career, but who knows?

Talking about hobbies, one of my favorites, besides playing the piano, is travelling. I have been to Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany and Italy. However, the city that I love best is Florence – the heart of Italy, in my opinion. Florence is an open-air museum where you can visit the most famous galleries, smell amazing flavors of Italian bakery and try different kinds of ice-cream, and also, simply wander around the ancient streets and boulevards. This is a magnificent place to have a trip to and I hope that I will come back there once again. I also love Germany and its beautiful castles, mountains, German toys, cars and cuisine (as you can see, I am quite a foodie).

In the conclusion, I would like to say that family and closest friends are the most important and significant parts of my life. Unfortunately, I do not have good latest family photos on my computer (I really do not want you to look at me few years ago, it was too bad), but I do have photos with my friends whom I love and miss a lot as all of them are studying in Russian universities now. However, Baruch is a wonderful place where I have already met great people and I do not feel so lonely and homesick.

Herro y’all! I’m Sophie and this is my image post about me. My hobby is photography. No, I’m not one of those “photographers” who only takes selfies. I take photos of places or things to capture specific memories. Each photograph I take, represents a specific memory or story. I’m a quiet person so it’s always been hard for me to make friends and connect with people. But through my photos, I’m able to start conversations and tell stories and experiences during my travels to others. Being a freshie and traveling to a new country is the same, I’m constantly encountering new and different things. Although I don’t have my camera with me everyday at school like I do while traveling, I still hope to capture different memories and being able to tell others about my experience at Baruch.
