I’m Omar Griffin (aka Trey to some people) and I’m one of the one million Brooklyn Tech graduates that decided to attend Baruch. So far, I like the school, but I hate commuting. During high school, I lived about a 20 minute walk from school and now that walk has turned into a 40 minute train ride that involves 3 trains, at the very least. I kinda wish that I had a dorm, but that would be unwise because I’d pay 10k a year to live there, when I could just live at home for free. But it never hurts to dream.
My main concern at Baruch would be maintaining a high average. I’m bad at adjusting to change, as shown by my transition from elementary school to junior high school, and again as I went from junior high school to high school. I’d always have respectable grades until I’d change schools and they’d skydive until I’d become more accustomed to the new school. Hopefully, that will change because I’ve become a lot more studious and mature.
I’m a really laid-back person with a nonjudgmental personality, for the most part. I tend to find really arrogant or pretentious people kind of annoying. Other than that, I can get along with most people. The most dramatic change from high school to college would be the fact that I have to make new friends all over again. Back at Tech, I had my little circle of friends and we were really tight. We went through hell and back together, but then, after the summer, we all went our separate ways and the nostalgia has been hitting me a lot recently. I also have the most amazing girlfriend that decided to go away for college. Ever since high school ended, I haven’t been able to see her everyday, but we’re still really close because she means a lot to me.
When it comes to my free time, I have all sorts of hobbies. My main one is running, but I love all types of sports and activities, except drawing because I can’t draw to save my life. I love to sing, even though my voice is atrocious. I love to dance, run and flip and I LOVE music. That has to be one of the greatest developments of all time. I can’t live without music. I enjoy all genres and artists from Lady Gaga and that lady that sings “Bulletproof” to DMX and Drake. You can never have too much music.
