I’m Briana and I’m 18 years old from Brooklyn, NY. Nothing too exotic. It seems like everyone’s either from Brooklyn, Long Island, or Staten Island. I’m the black girl with red hair. I’m a very easy going person and I almost never get mad. I love traveling especially for shows in other states. My passion is music and I want to own my own band management/publicity business here in the city after I graduate. I’m going to major in Music Management and minor in graphic design in Weissman. I hate math so there’s no way I’d even bother trying to go the business route. For fun I like to go to shows and sometimes I interview bands or take photos at shows for my music blog Unsigned & Unleashed (www.unsignedunleashed.com). I also recently joined the radio station with my friend Angelica who’s also in this class. I love all thing related to Anthony Green and Paramore is my favorite band. I’ve seen them 10 times. I can be terribly awkward but I have good intentions. I love English…always have. Math however….is something I hate with a passion. My middle name is Pearl. Just thought you should know…
My top 3 concerns on Freshman year here at Baruch are:
1. Actually enjoying this school because I hated high school so much.
2. Making friends that have similar interests.
3. Actually KNOWING the school rather than just going to my classes and letting that be that.
also finding other places to eat because there comes a point when even the best of us have to part ways with Chipotle…
So far Baruch College is different from my high school in a few ways. I went to a early college high school so they pretty much packed all the main classes in my first two years and by senior year I got out just before noon and had time to go to an internship or stay busy. Now I actually spend way more time in school. MY high school was really small so everyone really knew everything about each other. I could probably name all the kids in my senior class If I had to. That’s one difference that I’m kind of happy about but I’m not all that outgoing so I guess it’s not really good or bad either way.
I think that my first year of college will make me more social. (Hopefully). It’s already making me more independent so by the end of this year I should really have a grasp on who I am as a person. That’s all I can really hope for. It sounds really bad but I feel like I’m who I’m supposed to be, I know what I want to do, and the life I want to lead so I’d rather be more self-aware than actually change something about myself.
what kind of music do you want your business to manage? What kinds of shows do you go to? I am a real theater guy and I am crazy about musicals. I am also a singer. I’ve sung in choirs for a lot of years. I think you are right about trying to make Baruch more than just about the classes. Take advantage of all of those lectures and plays and musical events. Go do something regularly that you don’t even think you will like. Stretch, explore.
