Well, the Fall semester seems to be heading into full swing. At this point, I assume that many of you are still transitioning into college life. Some of you may love it, some may hate it, and some of you may be just trying to get through the day. As Freshmans, being in a block gives you the oppurtunity to get to know one another more personally, something that rarely ever happens in individual lecture classes and even smaller class room settings. Since we are still in the beginning of the semester, now would be the perfect time for all of you to get to know one another. Who know’s, many of you may find that you have the same interests and ambitions.
Below I’ve listed some questions that will help all of you learn more about one another. In the interest of actually learning something, please write a sentence elaborating on your answer for each question, unless otherwise instructed.
(1) What are your favorite hobbies or activities?
(2) What sports do you like most?
(3) Who do you admire?
(4) What’s your favorite genre(s) of music? (Artists, Bands)
(5) What is most memorable about your high school years?
(6) What three words describe you best?
(7) What TV show(s) do you like to watch?
(8) What is your biggest accomplishment?
My favorite hobbies and activities include traveling, reading, dancing, and going to various interesting places in NYC.
Out of sports I like soccer and tennis the most. Although I’m not very good at soccer myself and only play the defense, I like watching FIFA.
I admire my family and some of the teachers I’ve had in the past. My parents are very supportive and I look up to them. My teachers also encouraged me and guided me towards success.
My iTunes are filled with various genres; I don’t have a favorite genre because my music choice generally depends on my mood. Some of my favorites are Above&Beyond, Beenie Man, Coolio, DMX, H.I.M, Tiesto, Shaggy, Tupac, R. Kelly, Rammstein, Groove Armada, Kymani Marley, Ludacris, Sean Paul, Pitbull, and Niels Van Gogh.
The most memorable about my high school years has got to be my soccer class. We had the best, funniest teacher and the most fun.
Three words that describe me best are passionate, peaceful, and funny.
I rarely have time for TV but whenever I do I end up watching the news or Gossip Girl… maybe even Jerry Springer when I’m really bored.
My biggest accomplishments were helping to raise my little cousin and getting into Baruch.
1.My favorite hobbies are reading, shopping, hanging out friends.
2. I am not really a sports person.
3. I admire my mother for raising me and my sisters as a single mom and doing her best to make sure our education came first.
4. I like to listen to r&b. That is pretty much what I have on my mp3. I like to dance to it in my house and act a fool. I like artist like Beyonce, Ne-yo, Keri Hilson and more
5. My senior year was most memorable from high school because we got to leave early and we got to do many things. I got to hang with my friends more . We had our senior prom which was fun and we had our graduation.
6. Kind,Caring, and Quiet.
7. I like to watch a lot of shows on the CW like Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, 90210, Melrose Place, America’s Next Top Model, And Vampire Diaries. I also like to watch to daytime soaps like One Life to Live and General Hospital. I also like House, Lie to Me, The Locator, Adoption Diaries, America Best Dance Crew and movies on Lifetime. As you can see I watch alot of tv.
8. my biggest accomplishment was graduating high school and getting into college.
1. My favorite hobby would probably be doodling in notebooks. Already in my notebooks for classes i have pages full of random drawings
2. My favorite sport to play would definitely be basketball. Im always in the park in the summer playing ball with my friends. I love to watch football though. Im a huge Giants fan.
3. Admire??? Uh i admire a lot of people. However, i probably admire my dad the most. He has polio in his right hand and pretty much lost all function in that hand. However, that hasnt stopped him from achieving his goals in his life.
4. Like Lauren, music is my life. You will always see me with my headphones on listening to music. I pretty much listen to any type of music except heavy metal or punk rock. I used to play the violin until ninth grade and started playing the drums a couple of years ago. Playing the drums is definitely a passion of mine and i would like to learn how to play acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass and piano.
5. Senior year is the thing i miss most about high school. That was when i really started to branch out and meet new people.
6. Nice. Creative. Careful
7. I dont really watch TV that much. My favorite shows though would have to be House, Heroes and How I Met Your Mother.
8. My biggest accomplishment i would say is getting into one of the top business schools in NY.
Haha, I’m always the 1st response.
1. Some of my favorite hobbies and activities are contain things like scrapbooking, drawing (some know very well of my drawings) to larger things like horse back riding, soccer, running, tennis anything that makes my heart race a million beats per minute (: Some would say I’m that energizer bunny that keeps going and going.
2. Uhm. Well it was kinda previously mentioned. I like any sport really, although I prefer some sports in real life than on the television. Baseball especially, but I’ve suddenly had this greater appreciation for it ! Soccer, Tennis, Football are the main sports I watch and kinda can play.
3. Who do I admire? I admire pretty much all of my family members. My Dad for his strength in mind he makes me want to be something more everyday. My Mom and her kindness, how she and I can click and her amazing outlook on life. My sister has a strong personality and great sense of humor, she is crazy but a great person. My younger sister, she just blows me away how she can read Eragon at the age of 8 in just a few days, her ambitions are amazing and I plan to help her any way I can. My brother never can understand the word “no” he is a fighter and keeps going no matter how many knocks he may recieve. Yes, I truly do love them all.
4. Music is my life – if anyone knows me (a few do!) you’ll see me singing along to whatever is on haha dancing and bopping around in my seat. I love pretty much any genre at some point. Classical has been with me for the longest, and I play quite a few intruments. I can’t possibly choose a few.
5. High school. I miss every part because my class of 09 was like one, we did so many crazy things (like make reptar shirts) or something, we were all a big family with teachers included. Going to Prom and Japan for my senior year was the icing to the cake.
6. Outgoing. Creative. Spontaneous!
7. I like to watch Heros! Occasionally Scrubs. America’s BEST Dance Crew! And you can’t forget the Office! I also get in touch with my inner child by still watching Arthur and Wishbone. They were the best shows and still are haha.
8. My biggest accomplishment was getting into Baruch, getting into honor societies, raising money for the Osama Shafeeq scholarship and having those green bracelets (watch out for it! I wear it all the time) made for all his friends and family. Another accomplishment would have to be working all those insane hours to pay for my own prom (nightmare!!) but I was deeply satisfied.
