Hi, my name is Fakhar and I’m from Queens, New York. I am a Marketing Major and this is my second semester at Baruch. I am excited and anxious to face new challenges. I am an introvert and question my ability to function and contribute to society every day. I chose to answer ” What do you consider to be the greatest threat to your happiness?” from the interview sheet and I believe my anxiety is definitely the greatest threat. Not being able to enjoy new experiences is frustrating and attempting to overcome the emotion is quite taxing. However, being in a cordial environment can be very helpful and I have come to realize that I accomplish a lot when I am in such an environment.

Unfortunately, I was unable able to attend our first class and interact with my peers because I could not wake up on time. However, I did get a question texted to me. A friend asked if I considered myself a disgrace for missing the first day of the spring semester.

Hey my name is Ibrahima Bah. This is my first year at Baruch and I am majoring in International Business. One of the questions my group and I talked about was what super power would we want to have. Personally, I would choose teleportation because I feel it makes life easier. For example getting from one place to another would be easy with just teleportation and there wouldn’t be any need for transportation.

Hello my name is Yelianni. This is my second semester at Baruch. I am majoring in business communications. I really enjoy reading but don’t do it as often but there are books that have left lessons to live by in my life. Due to this fact the interview question “what book has had the most profound impact on your life” I would say is “A Long Way Gone” by Ishmael Beah is on book that has left a mark. The book is based on a child soldier during the time the civil war in Sierra Leone was taking place. It describes his journey and the lessons/ skills he had to learn to be able to survive in this environment. This book really opened my eyes on things that are going on around the world. I feel as though of course everyone knows things like this are going on around the world but its just that. You may talk about it while having dinner with your family one day or over hear about it on a local new channel but it is never really something that most stop and actually acknowledges or tries to help with. As long a its not happening to you or a loved one then we don’t pay attention to critical state of others in most cases. Anyways all that was just to say that the book really impacted my perspective on the world around me and how one’s daily struggles can be completely different to another one across the globe.

I interviewed Dayanara who is in her second year at Baruch and is majoring in Business like me. I really wanted to know what she was looking forward to the most to which she answered graduating. This was because to her and most college is stressful but it is something we have to do so that we can progress in the career choice that best benefits our life. She is looking forward to getting her bachelors degree and is anxious for time to fly by. I can relate to her on that point because although college is very important sometimes to be it feels like a burden or very time consuming but at the end I know that it will all be worth it.

Hi guys! I am Swatee Barman. I am a freshman, and I am majoring in CIS. An ideal day for me would be hanging out with the people I love all day. I would wake up around 8 am, then spend the next 2-3 hours catching up with all my favorite drama channels and tv shows while eating breakfast. And then, I would work out for an hour and a half. After that, I would shower and then go into my brother’s room to start a fight with him. In the middle of our fighting, our parents would come in to stop us from causing any serious injuries and to also lecture us to be nice to each other. After that, we would all eat lunch and enjoy watching a movie togehter. After that, I would probably hang out with my friends and meet up in the city to enjoy some fresh air and walk around before going home by curfew and calling it a day.
