Hello Everyone

My name is Vanness. I’m currently a freshman majoring in Finance. I live in Queens Flushing. I’m half Chinese and half Malaysian.

What I enjoy doing in my free time, currently, is reading webnovels. While they aren’t like published books the stories behind these are very unique (some). Some are also translated from Chinese or Korean novels. I enjoy reading about Action Fantasy and Mystery. 

I also enjoy watching anime and reading manga and I think I remember some of you guys also mention this. If there’s any recommendations feel free to message me.

I don’t often play games anymore, but I’m still down to play. If you play league, TFT, or valorant feel free to message me too.

Hello Everyone!

I’m Jenny, nice to meet you guys! I’m currently a Baruch freshie majoring in finance. I live in Bayside, Queens, but we’re planning to move in a few months. Looking forward to it!

As a first year student, everything has been so new to me. Last year I couldn’t even imagine myself going to college and becoming independent. I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle the sudden change until I felt how welcoming Baruch was and how friendly everyone was to each other.

I love extreme sports and mystery (horror-themed escape rooms!!) even though I get scared really easily. I would actually jump and hit you if you scare me from behind. I really hope after corona we can go get some fun and eat a lotttt. On free times, I also like watching dramas (mainly Chinese/Korean) and playing games, which can get out of hand sometimes.

I know it’s college, the workload is obviously going to be heavier and many of us are really bad at time management, but we’re in it together! Hold each other up when they need support, and I’m really looking forward to this class!

Hello everyone!

My name is Giselle and it is a pleasure to meet you all. I was born in Brooklyn but I was raised in Staten Island my entire life.

I decided to go to Baruch because of the area it was in along with the majors Baruch provided. Since I wanted to major in Accounting, I figured the best school to go to for my college education would be Baruch.

If you want to know a little bit about me as a person, I’m very friendly and enjoy spending time with others. Due to the pandemic it has been hard to hang out with many of my friends. I had to find ways around this issue in March. The solution I used was video games and ever since I’ve resisted so many old games on my Wii. Minecraft was one of the games we used a lot to play together. (Attached is an image of a town me and my friends built for fun.)

I’d like to say a hobby of mine is listening to music and I find it hard to do anything without some music in the background. My music taste ranges from ranchera, a traditional Mexican genre, to indie pop. I’m always searching for new music to listen to so, if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them!

Similar to some of you I also watch anime and read manga. With the pandemic, I was able to catch up on so many series I had kept on hold. My favorite anime is currently Violet Evergarden, which coincidentally, touches upon writing and the power words have. Watching the show gave me a different perspective of writing back in 2018 when it first aired. It made me want to learn how to put more emotion into my own writing.

There is so much more I wish to share with you guys and I hope to become friends with all of you soon! :]

Hello guys my name is Jon LI, I am from an Asian culture and I was born here in the U.S, I have here for the most part of my life. I am still not sure what my future career going to be, but I am trying to see if finance going to work out for me.

There not much I could talk about myself, if there is anything I would say that in the future I would like to visit Japan someday, I really want to try out the ramen in Japan since that my favorite food. I like going out at night to the park during summer when there not that much people and not so hot outside, the nightly calm really is refreshing and I like taking a walk that way.

I hope the pandemic can end soon we can finally go out to take some fresh air and I am looking forward to taking this class with you guys .

Hi everyone!

My name is Donald Perdoci. I was born and raised in Albania and I came to the U.S 4 years ago. I am a freshman at Baruch and my major is Economics.

My two hobbies are soccer and chess. I started playing both at an early age although I have been much more related to soccer. My biggest achievement in soccer throughout years has been winning the division title twice in a row in high school.

As for chess, I like to practice or watch chess videos on internet  when I have free time. I have had the opportunity to do this more often since the start of the pandemic. Besides chess, in my free time I also like to read books or draw whatever I decide to.

 

Lastly, I really enjoy this class and I am looking forward to working with you guys during this semester!

Hey! Everyone. 

I’m Melody. I’m your classmate for the spring semester. Nice to meet you guys. Let me introduced something about myself.

I’m born in Japan and then backed to China when I am 3 years old. We lived in Tycko, the capital of Japan. My parents are both Chinese but they can speak Japanese very fluently. There are 3 languages used in my family. Chinese, English, and Chinese. I’m grown up in a diverse environment.

The reason why I immigrated to the United States with my parents was that I successfully passed the preparatory course at the Julia Conservatory of Music when I was 12 years old. The Julliard School located in Lincoln Center. The Juilliard School is a world leader in performing art education and is located at  Lincoln Center in New York City.  I started learning piano when I was 5 years old and it has been 13 years now. Since I was little, I have participated in many competitions one after another. By chance, I participated in an international piano competition held in the United States when I’m 10. Piano took me to many places. I traveled to many countries for piano competitions.

Living in Queens provoked a familiar yet strange feeling. As you can see, there are many Chinese families living here. I felt the Chinese culture and its influence while instantly, I found myself stepping into an exotic world with a different language. I needed to adapt to a new environment.

Although music gave me a voice and a sense of certainty, I wanted a different stage. At the end of the ninth grade, I was captivated by VE courses and started my journey of exploration.

The journey was fraught with thrilling obstacles and rewards. I learned many things that I had never contacted in my piano apprenticeship. So I came to Baruch, I started a new journey here. 

Nice to meet you guys.  Continue reading “Melody Lin”

Hello Everyone! My name is Zumanah Perveen. Me and my family moved to the US when I was 12 years old. I’ve been living in Queens ever since. I enjoy taking the subway and just exploring the city when I have time.

I like listening to music as I walk accross various places around the city. However, I haven’t had the opportunity to do so due to the pandemic. As an alternative, I try following random recipes off of the internet and baking when I’m bored. I also like to watch anime in my free time. My favorite anime would be Attack on Titan.

Qurantining has been a bitterweet exprience for me. It gave me the opportunity to connect with my friends and family in a deeper level. However, staying home for almost a year has also led me to feel unmotivated and emotionally drained. I miss being able to just walk for hours.

How has qurantining been for you guys?

Hi everyone!

My name is Sally Chen. I am currently a freshman at Baruch College and intended to major in Accounting.

One of my hobbies is making handmade crafts. I like to make many different types of things like pen holders, lanyards, and many more. I don’t really make a lot of crafts anymore because I’m too busy with school work. I also really enjoy watching different dramas, movies, shows, and anime, whenever I have time.

I always wanted to travel the world someday if I can. I haven’t been to many different places around the world yet. So I am very interested in learning more about other cultures and experience how life would be outside the U.S. I also want to try out different foods from different places. Well, living in New York City makes it easy to solve this problem.

 

I look forward to learning more about everyone and maybe make a couple more friends at Baruch.

Hello everyone! 

My name is Pei-Ting Fang. I was born and raised in Taiwan, Kaohsiung. I’m a freshman in Baruch College. I came to the United States four years ago. My intended major is Accounting. It is not my dream job and/or major but that’s what my family wanted me to study.

My interest is watching TV, including different kinds of shows, dramas, and movies. I also liked to sing and dance. I’m a huge animal lover! My favorite animal is the horse. I have a cat at home. Here is a cute picture from my cat, Marvin!

Talking about my biggest interest is traveling. I love to travel the world and learn different cultures. I have been traveling to 11 different places/countries now. Including Taiwan, America(only a few states), Bermuda, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Canada, Philippines, Indonesia, and Palau. Besides Taiwan, Palau is my favorite travel place to go. Although I’m really scared of water, I like to challenge myself. Snorkeling in Palau can really find the beauty under the sea.

Lastly, I really like this class and I hope I can keep working on my English so that I can improve it and make more friends at Baruch.

Hi everyone,

I am Jun Wei Zhen. I am currently a Finance major and I really do not think I am gonna change anytime soon. I was born in China and spent around 6 years there which then I got sent to USA to start 1st grade. Currently I am living near Coney Island in Brooklyn right now and it is mediocre I guess.

If I want to talk about some of the interest I have it would be 100% video games and music. I play it video games a lot and usually always listening to music on the side. I mostly listen to Asian music ( Chinese, Korean, Japanese) and EDM which is like this music where its mostly just instrumental. For video games, I have currently having a lot of fun with League right now but I usually play a lot of different games and my preferred type of game is usually fps.  I also like Asian stuff in general like the TV Shows or Anime and stuff like those.

For those new that actually read this, this class year will be actually quite fun and nice. I usually enjoy working with others and I would like to imagine that I am friendly. This year will be interesting as I have never used this site to post stuff before and I look forward to working with you guys!
