The New York Yankees logo has meant a lot to me for as long as I can remember, for more than one reason. From the day I was born I was molded into a die hard Yankees fan, as I still am today. For me, the Yankees logo represents a big part of my childhood, and my relationship with my father; whether it was watching games or attending dozens of regular season and post season games together throughout my life. The team logo also symbolizes power, strength, respect and dominance to me, and always will.

Since I couldn’t really think of any specific brand/logo that represents my love for all music , I’ve instead chosen 7 Eleven as my second brand/logo. Whether or not it sounds stupid, 7 Eleven is actually a big part of my daily (and nightly) life. Being within close vicinity of a 7 Eleven all of my life, it was always the store my friends and I would walk to at least twice a day for any snacks or drinks or even just to kill time. Now that I’m older I’ve grown to appreciate the convenience of a 24 hour store like 7 Eleven, specifically in the middle of the night and/or when driving around at such hours of the night which my friends and I seem to do almost every night of the week.  Their coffee has also become my personal favorite, and I’ve basically lived on their blends for the past couple of years.

Who am I? Well, my name is Alexander Pizzuto (i go by Alex), and I’m a very complicated individual. I’m composed of many flaws and bad habits that I’d love to someday conquer, but for now I’ll just deal with what I’ve got. Admittedly, I’m a very shy person upon meeting new people. I take a long time to adjust to new surroundings and people, but in the long run I can grow to be a really outgoing and friendly person. I see myself as a unique person, “weird” at times, and stubborn as a mule; but my intentions are always good.

As a freshman at Baruch College I’d be lying if I said I had no worries at all. College is a brand new chapter in my life now, and I know it’ll take some adjusting over the first few weeks. My biggest concerns are being more independent in all aspects, and managing my time properly (specifically my free time between classes). As of right now I’m not feeling overwhelmed by the workload at all. Between classes I’m usually working out at my gym about 2 blocks from the Baruch campus, or I’m roaming the city looking to find new and interesting places. So far I’m enjoying the college experience, despite my hour long commute every morning, and I hope college creates even greater experiences for me down the road.
