Last week on Long Island with one of my best friends here at Baruch, I went in to this abandoned house were four homeless people were sleeping without electricity or blankets. From there we knew what we had to do. We ran back to Jacks house grabbed blankets pillows and hot soup from King Kullen. We quickly went back to the abandoned house and realized that the homeless people had left, but left a distinct trail in their wake. There were muddy tracks leaving the house and headed back towards the town of Babylon. Jack and I followed the trail until we ran in to the group of homeless people. Unfortunately by this time, the soup had gone cold . They were headed to there usual camp site so we went with them made a fire and re-heated the soup for them. We decided to see what it was like for a homeless person so we camped out with them for one night and to be honest I don’t see what all the fuss was about. I’m only kidding. When we woke up in the morning, both of our iPhones were gone, and so were our wallets. The thing that got me upset is: How are they going to charge the phones? But we decided not to call the police due to the fact that we didn’t have anything to call them on. The most rewarding parts of this experience were knowing that we expected nothing in return, and instead of the iPhone 3gs I now own the iPhone 4.

Dear professor,

It has come to my attention that I am failing. Please drop me. BlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlah

What do I really want? I mean, REALLY really want? There’s so much out there that I can have, that I can take, but is it worth it? Will I be putting my blood, sweat, and tears to waste..

I’ve often wondered where my life would lead me, and so far I can’t complain. Living in NYC and away from my parents has been a weird blessing for me. Without the sheltered living and unlimited food, I’m finding out more about myself than I thought was possible.

I think I know what I want now… I want what I’ve got and what is to come. There’s no limit to what can happen or what I can avoid. Everything that happens to me continues to shape me into what I am becoming. Shaped by the other, shaped by me,  by you and Baruch College. This is what I want.

Hi. My name is Taylor Higgs. I was born and raised in California my whole life. Even though I was born in Cali, I wasn’t lucky enough to experience beach, sun, and surf everyday. My house is more in the dead center of the state, which is about a 1-3 hour drive from the mountains, beaches, and woods in all directions. If I had to choose though, I would have loved to live closer to a beach. I grew up in a family of 7, with two brothers and two sisters, and I am the 4th child. I grew up around sports and music from an early age though the influence of my dad, he was a great singer and a strong athlete. My oldest brother got all of father’s athleticism, now in the MILB for the Seattle Mariners, and my other brother got all his musical talent, majoring in pianoI performance at Chapman University. Me, I got split in between with a ukulele and a chance to play D3 volleyball, and it is debatable that I am the better looking of the 3.. But anyways, I came to NY to get as far away from home as I possibly could. To experience things on my own and have a good time. I’m hoping that you guys would have fun sharing that with me.
