Writing 2150t: Spring 2021

Giselle

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! :]
