I thought the panel discussion was interesting and it was nice that we had the author of the Bitter Sea come to our school.  Having said that I think that the author Charles really likes to talk a lot and he sort of rambled on.  He seems to have written an entire book about himself and it seems like he enjoys talking about himself.  The book itself was somewhat interesting though.  I can see why it would be given to Freshmen because it is about a young man who needs to face many new environments.

I thought that it was a good idea for the school to advertise it’s career center.  It was very helpful to know that there are plenty of internships out there that Baruch will help students obtain.  It is also good to know that the school will help you with writing a resume, which may be a concern of many students.  I think it would be a great idea for students to take advantage of all these services that Baruch offers.

everyone involved in the story besides Kailey

I generally have a lot of fun with my friends, but there is one night in particular that stands out to me.  It was February 5^th; it was the third month to the day that I had been with my girlfriend Kailey.  So I had decided to take her out to dinner to The Pie at Salvatore’s.

As I was driving to the restaurant I get a call from my best friend, Zach Halpin.  He asks me what I am doing and I tell him that I am taking my girlfriend out to eat.  So we say goodbye and I continue going to the pie.

So Kailey and I get to the restaurant, we sit down, and about ten minutes later my friends Zach and Jack walk in and sit with us.  My girlfriend is a little upset that they are with us, but she also finds it a little amusing.

As we are eating my friends and I find out that our other friend Ben is home alone and he is having some girls over.  After we finish our dinner we decide to pay our friend Ben a visit.  We arrive just as the young women are arriving.  Ben gets angry that we are coming to his house, especially since I brought my girlfriend, so he kicks us out of his house.

That’s when my friends and I come across an idea.  We decide to go to the supermarket and buy some shaving cream.  Then we go back to Ben’s house and park on the side of his house.  My friend Jack strips down naked and he puts shaving cream in between his legs and across his chest.

Then jack hides in the bush and Halpin goes and knocks on the door.  When Ben opens it Jack jumps out if the bush and runs through Ben’s house.  Finally Ben chased Jack out of the house and we jumped in my car and rode away.  We ended up at my girlfriend’s house watching the hangover.  That was the best night of my life.

I am a new college student.  I come here to Baruch from Brightwaters Long Island.  I am a son a brother and a boyfriend.  Another thing that defines me are my interests.  I am very interested in politics, mostly conservative politics.  Other than that I like to live the simple life out here in Suffolk county Long Island, probably one of the most beautiful locations in New York.

College has been a big adjustment to me.  I come from Long Island and it is very different from life in the city.  I have been able to get used to somewhat but it is still hard.  Another thing that I am concerned about is maintains a 3.0 average.  I high school I was always able to maintain a gpa much higher than that but differences in college concern me.  From what I understand there are fewer tests and grade things in college and it may hurt my grade.  I still like to be optimistic and I am sure that I will do well.

So far my college experience has been alright.  As I had said it is a big change from what I am used to and it is very different from my high school that I loved.  I expect that my first semester here at Baruch will go well and I am looking forward to getting good grades.
