Day: September 25, 2011

My name is Julonni Washington, I was born on July 20, 1993 and spent every year of my life living in a place called the Bronx.  I have enjoyed my life so far and my main goal is to keep enjoying life.  There is nothing special about my childhood to share so I will not spend hours thinking about what to say. I will say that right now, I am looking forward to an enjoyable four years at Baruch and several more enjoyable decades exploring the world’s major metropolis’. I am currently in one so it’s less work to do for me.  If there is one thing you would want to know about me it’s that I am a marriage of opposites. I eat a lot of food yet I have a very slim body. I don’t think of myself as a stereotypical ‘nerd’ yet the first thing my peers point out is my intelligence.  I am very open to conversation yet have very few close friends.  I may not have a lot to say on here right now but in person it’s a different story, one that only a few lucky people will experience.

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.

Aloha Fro-mates, My name is Bianca Work. Yes, Work, like the occupation. I’m eighteen years old, and am currently living in Rockaway, Queens; which I despise. This is only because it takes two hours to get to school every single morning, and two hours to get home every single night! Seeing as I had planned to go away to college, Baruch is a difficult adjustment. I’d love to major in Finance, or Industrial and Organizational Psychology,  so that I can work in Law. BUT that doesn’t mean that I’m always a serious person. I’m extremely creative and am always baking, cooking, or doing some artistic thing on the beach, which is conveniently located a block from my house.  Whenever I am stressed or overwhelmed, I take my beloved guitar and go sit on the sand. Speaking of the beach, I usually spend my summers in Sicily. I wish that I could live there permanently because my entire family and all of my friends live there. I have the traditional HUGE Italian family. That means the three thousand cousins, huge Sunday dinners, and barely being able to hear yourself think around relatives, because they’re all so loud, is all part of the norm for me. I’m used to my surrounding always being hectic and frenzied and that’s why I fit perfectly into the city life. Everything is quick, upbeat and always in motion. I am actually extremely shy at first which is sort of hard in College. I spend a lot of my time doing Community Service. Every Saturday I volunteer at a Soup Kitchen in Park Slope. Last night I actually part took in the “Light the Night Walk” in Queens. Toodles.
