ENG 2150 w Prof. Perry Spring 2023

Hi, I’m Maggie Lin. I’m a freshman majoring in accounting. I’m introverted and I will only talk to people who I know. I like to spend most of my time alone watching Chinese and Korean dramas. I was born in brooklyn but grew up in china and at the age of eight I came back to America. I speak Chinese most of the time and I’m a very unconfident person.

I spoke to Jing. We were in the same English and politics class last semester. We both like to spend our time mostly alone and we both are introverted people. We both like to drink bubble milk tea and we like to read Chinese books more.

My name is Jing Wang. I’m a freshman at Baruch and my intended major is CIS. I like to enjoy the time by myself. Since my family owned a restaurant, a lot of my time was spent in the restaurant. And now I have school work and all, the time to myself is limited. Therefore, an ideal day for me is to have a day all to myself. I could wake up at any time I want. Then I could do things like reading and watching anime. As for lunch, I can cook myself noodles and maybe order some desserts(I love bubble tea and cakes!). Afterward, I would like to continue with my anime and just have fun.

I spoke to Jianping Chen(Alan). We knew each other from last semester. During the time that we are together, Alan seems like an introvert, but once you get to know him, he is really talkative. We talked a lot about anime, like the setting, the thoughts on it and recommended anime to each other. He was also a fan of Piano music and relaxing music. He strongly recommended the music by Mili.

Hello everyone, my name is Jianping Chen, and feel free to call me Alan. I am now a freshman majoring in CIS. I am introverted, so if you see me not looking into your eyes during the conversation or walking down the hallway without eye contact, trust me, I whisper hello a thousand times deep in my heart. I am trying my best to become a cheerful extrovert, at least I am trying my best to pretend I am. I like to hear relaxing piano music and I strongly recommend the music group, Mili, their music is the best!

I interviewed Jing Wang for the interview question, she is also a freshman majoring in CIS. She likes to spend her money on the desert, and she likes to share snakes with her friends. She always gives others the illusion that she owns a snake store. She was also a big fan of anime, her favorite anime was Akame ga KILL! She can’t express how much she loves that anime.

Hello fellow classmates, my name is Ethan Jusino. I did not have the pleasure of being there in class on the 25th because I was burying my grandmother ( rest her soul). I am now going to be attending class.

I did unfortunately forget who I was talking to as it has been a couple of days but I do remember being asked what was my most prized physical possession and to me it is my PS5. I know it sounds corny but during my life time it allows me to escape my reality for a little but. It also helps me manage time because I know how long I’ve been on it do to a timer I can pull up on it.

As for my partner I believe they said their phone , I unfortunately do not remember why.

My name is Amber Segura this is my fourth semester at Baruch College. I am majoring in data analytics. For this semester I would love to pass all my classes with a B or higher. As I said earlier this is my fourth semester because my first and second semester went terribly. Covid really ended up taking so much from me, so i withdrew from my classes twice. As a result, instead of starting this year as a sophomore it’s more like I’m a freshman. however, I’m not discouraged. Sure, I lost my fasfa but I did make it through the first semester this year so I’m off to a great start. I’m sure I can accomplish passing my courses because I have no other choice if I want my fasfa back and i have lots of support.

unfortunately, I missed my first class being I was feeling sick, however I am excited to meet everyone and make new connections this year. I’m sure there are lots of interesting personalities.

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.
