I tried to pick two brands that would best some up who I am as a person. The first one I picked because it helps express who I am in my social life. Bud Light is not my favorite beer nor is it the cheapest one I drink. But it is the one I drink the most often because it is somewhat cheap and has an enjoyable taste. My favorite is Magner’s and when I am tight on cash I hace PBR or if I am truely broke I go with 4lokos (RIP).

The second brand I picked was Popeyes. It is the most addicting thing in my life. Since I have started college I have not gone more than a week with out some of that delicous, fattening, greasy, chicken. Every one of those little biscuits is a piece of Heaven that an underpaid employee was able to steal when God wasn’t looking and place on my tray.  No matter how much I eat I can always make more room for Popeyes and it has become part of my routine and lifestyle here at Baruch.

Better late than never, right? I’m Brian McMahon, I was born and raised in Washington Heights and now dorm in the Lower East Side on 101 Ludlow. I attended Mount Saint Michael Academy in the Bronx where a played basketball for four years. Basketball is the main reason I came to Baruch because it was the best academic school that recruited me. I kind of wanted to leave the city for college but definitely appreciate how convenient staying in the city is. I am still able to hang out with a lot of my friends from my neighborhood and see my family whenever I want.

So far I like Baruch, for the most part. I was not nervous about making friends or meeting people here because I am not shy and do not get nervous easily. Also, I knew some kids on the basketball team already so i had people to ask for help if I needed it. Also I always have something to do during breaks. The thing I do not like, or simply have not adjusted to at Baruch is always having to check my e-mail and blackboard. I did realize that Phillip A. Hogue had sent me a personal e-mail 4 days ago telling me to do my first blog. I figured if it was from him  I better do it..
