KM 3A

When I first came to Baruch I was like, “yeah this place is full of hipsters and herbs, i’m not gonna dig this.”  These expectations ran through my head for about 3 hours on my first day here.  The longest 3 hours of my life.  During these 180 minutes of hell I was constantly asked by strangers in the dorms if I wanted to tag along on a “Starbucks Run” or if I wanted to talk about how much we hated “the man”.  Of course I alway answered with a “hell no, idiot.” I began to think that I would drop out of this school and go back to my original life plan, becoming a world renown dentist.  Then something changed my whole entire perspective on this school and my future here.  I was packing up my things, while “Hero” by Enrique Iglesias blared on my laptop when I heard a knock on my door.  I yelled, “For the last time, NO, STARBUCKS TASTE LIKE SHIT!” as I walked to open the door.  When I did open this door my jaw dropped.  I saw three bros in front of my.  Dressed in pinnys and each reading a “Hustler” magazine, they were straight chillin.  I ran to my desk, grabbed my “Hustler” I was previously reading and held it up to them.  We then proceeded to fist bump.  This was my first encounter with my three bros, Nick, Jack, and Jesus.  My expectations on the school were that it would be terrible, but it’s been chill because me and my bros roll with natty and strumpets all day.  My first semester here has gone real well.  I hold the record for three pointers in an NBA game and my “No Shave November” beard is Grizzly Adams-esque.  Seriously, this beard is brolic.  If I had to change one thing about my first semester I would definitely stop wasting my time at classes so I can get some more xbox time in.  Also, I would change El Sombreros dumb waiting line rule, total bro haters running that place.  Someone once asked me the question, “Have you changed at all since you’ve been at Baruch?” Well let me answer this question with another question, “Do you hipsters not smell like shit?”  Hell no.

In order to make up my credit for being a day late on my last blog, I was given a list of event to go to then write a quick blog about my visit.  I went to UCLA, with William.  When I first walked in I felt a little out of place being the only white dude in there.  But that passed really quickly when everyone was being nice to me.  It was a chill atmosphere, Nick was running the show like a boss.  We watched some videos then were asked questions about them and whoever answered a question correctly was given a prize and whoever answered the question incorrectly was beaten (just kidding).  Then we got free subway sandwiches, stuff was legit.  Overall it was a good choice to go to UCLA, I’m glad I did it.

My blog was about my home state, Connecticut.  I started by giving a little backround information about CT.  It’s the southern most state in New England, north-east of NYC.  I also threw out some quickfacts, like how Connecticut has been voted “Most Beautiful State” for the past…..1 billions years.  I explained how Hartford got it’s name, because people love it so much.  Next I went on to tell you about places to see.  Yale, mystic seaport, Long Island Sound beaches, mountain ranges and cities etc.  I listed some famous people from Connecticut.  (Kevin Bacon, Katharine Heigl, Jesus Christ, John Mayor, and like 2,000,000,000,000 other legends.  I told everyone about Governor Jodi Rell and how much everyone loves her.  Finally I finished by rebuddling against some of Connecticut’s foolish criticisms.  Like why Connecicut is so small and that people from CT are snobby (we are but whatever).  Thats it, and I guess I need a picture so here.  Thats just me and my brother doing typical CT bro things, dressing alike and eating popeyes.

Answering the question of who I think that I am is pretty simple to me.  I think of myself as a normal college student/student athlete.  All i’m trying to do is juggle the responsibilities of school work, athletics and a little bit of social life.  I have one huge concern at Baruch, and that is that I’m going to fail out.  I’m scared of that because if I do flunk out, my mom is gonna be PISSED. Another concern I have is that my beloved home state, Connecticut, will undergo great changes in my absence. I highly doubt that will happen, because hey, you don’t mess with perfection.  Finally, my third concern.  Living in NYC you see a lot of different people.  One growing group of people is frightening to me.  These people usually have skinny jeans, a love of blogging (even though no one cares what they think) and the final characteristic, a thick pair of Ray Ban eyeglasses.  These people, are the hipsters.  My concern is that spending so much time in Manhattan I may unconsciously pick up on some of their habits.  This scares me to death.  Because i’m a bro and I like the way I am.  My Baruch college experience has two major differences in comparison to my high school experience.  First off, is being away from home.  Secondly, is at Baruch I get to go to school with girls.  Xavier (my high school and number 1 ranked school ever made….. in my rankings) is an all boys, scratch that, all mens catholic prepatory school.  To be honest, sometimes I forgot girls went to school after 8th grade.  Turns out they do, and it’s a wonderful thing.  As for changes during my first year.  I’ll be reading and doing a lot of school work so my intelligence is gonna shoot up.  I will also be working out for vball a lot so i’m gonna be like Randy strong.
