Hello professor,
I am having difficulty with the reading that you assigned to us in class. May you please explain the reading to me as I am unable to answer the question that go along it. Thank you in advance Svyatoslav Balaban
A monologue a monologue, how the hell do I start a monologue? I have been on my laptop for an hour now and this is what I get…. pathetic. I hope this at least counts as a monologue, it would really suck to fail freshman seminar and take it again in 3 years, I think it’s called freshmen seminar for a reason… I don’t think there’s senior seminar at Baruch. Now what to talk about what to talk about I still don’t know, guess I like assignments where I’m told what to write about and not this free writing. Writing about not knowing what to write about, damn I’m so creative… not. Now I’m hoping this is long and good enough to count, I really don’t need another failing grade this semester; I think I’ve gotten enough of them these past 2 weeks.
Subject: a homework question
Dear Professor,
I don’t really understand the readings you gave us. I’m not sure how they relate to the question I have to answer. Could you please explain the reading for me. Thank you in advance.
Andy Lantigua: SOC1005 BRTA
A. I’m andy lantigua, someone that likes listening to music in his free time, and loves spicy food. I’m a student at Baruch college and I tend to be impulsive.
B. I’m worried about passing my calculus class because it’s one of my harder classes and it’s also one of the classes I need to do well in for the major I’m planning on taking. I’m also worried about managing my time so that I can do well in my classes and be able to participate in clubs and other things that interest me. I’m also concerned about my sociology class because it’s a class that I have trouble focusing in.
C. What makes my college experience different from my high school experience is that I have more freedom, so my accomplishments and mistakes fall on me alone.
D. My freshman year wil help me mature and take on more responsiblity for myself

Hi Professor, I am having trouble figuring out how to do problem number 5 on page 78 of the calculus textbook. I would really appreciate it if you could explain to me how to do the problem. Thank you so much.

Excuse my awkwardness
Spent my whole life on this
Tryin to go to college
Just hope it’s not a hit or miss
Yeah the future may be enigmatic
And they tell me life is tragic
But I just laugh with all my might
Because in times of darkness
I’m the one who’s got the flashlight
That’s right just here with my whole block
Tik tok tick tok
We can’t stop looking at the clock
Because we’re sitting here in class
Waitin on time to pass
Hoping our determination
Doesn’t shatter like glass
To be honest, I think the question of “who am I?” is highly overrated and misused in this society. Why do people have a need to define who they are? Essentially, they end up defining WHAT they are instead. A student, a sister, a friend, a lover, a fighter, blah blah blah. These words lose meaning because they can be used to “define” millions of different people, narrowing absolutely nothing down. I can proudly proclaim that I have no idea who I am! And instead of spending my life on trying to find out something that cannot be changed, I prefer to just enjoy life without question.
For this reason, when the voice in the back of my head told me to choose to go to Baruch instead of Hunter, I didn’t question it. I acted. It makes no sense for someone who is aspiring to become a doctor to go to business school, but I did it anyway. This is one of my main concerns about being in Baruch, but it won’t truly worry me until that voice speaks out again and tells me to either transfer out or to change direction. Another one of my concerns is being able to balance work with school. This is the first time in my life that I have to do both at the same time, and to be honest, it could be going better. However I’m hoping that when I am able to choose my own schedule for next semester, I will be able to find a better balance and go to work more often. Also, I hope that eventually I will be able to overcome my social awkwardness and join some of the clubs at Baruch.
In high school I joined a lot of clubs, and I was even a founder and president of one, but in college the dynamics of the social functions feel different. It’s weird to walk down a hallway without knowing everyone and their mothers, and I miss that. But it’s smart to organize freshmen in blocks, because it’s so much easier to make friends. I’m hoping that my first year in college will encourage me to never give up my education again. I’m glad to be back in school, and it’s hard to get back in the rhythm of it, so I’ll try to keep my education continuous throughout my life.
My name is Wilmar Ng and I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I’m 18 years old and I live with my parents. I enjoy cooking, hanging out with my friends,reading and shopping. My favorite dish to cook is chicken parmesan and my favorite food to bake is red velvet cake. I also enjoy traveling because exploring new places is always exciting. I graduated from Midwood High School in Brooklyn.
My top three concerns about my freshman year is time management, my grades and my school work. I’m concerned about the way I manage my time because sometimes I tend to procrastinate with my school work and I end up rushing and doing a poor job. I’m concerned about my grades because I want to get the best grades as possible but so far I’m not doing as well as I thought I would be. I’m concerned about my school work because I’m not spending as much time as I want to on my school work.
So far, I think the freedom that comes with college will make my college experience different from my high school experience. With freedom comes more responsibility which leads people to be more mature. I feel that the way professors treat students force students to be more responsible with there school work and life in general. in high school teachers constantly remind you of tests and when class work is due but college is nothing like that.
I think my first year of college will lead me to become more mature. So far I remind myself of every test, quiz, and assignment due which was difficult at first but now I’m accustomed to it. I expect college to be a life changing experience.

Title: MTH2610 Class Homework Troubles
Dear Professor Doe,
My name is Boris Adamovich and I am a student in your mon/wed MTH2610 class at 1230pm. I was not able to open the syllabus document on Blackboard. Would you be able to please send me the questions that are due for the homework assignment entitled, “Optimization” ? I am looking forward to our next class.
Thank you,
Boris Adamovich
What has the Train system come to ? I thought that as the years pass, everything evolves, and becomes better than it used to be. Well at least thats what my mom tells me. The only thing changing is the friggin’ fares for a ride ! I used to pay a dollar to ride the metro. Now I’m paying $2.25. Does it look like I’m made out of money ?! Besides, why should I be paying so much for system that can’t get a hold of itself. I’m not gonna lie, I am an optimistic person, but when it comes to the subway system of New York, my optimism is completely depleted.
I always and I mean always end up having to take that one train that has been running for 50 years. I can almost smell the stench of the countless number of bums that have occupied this train as it loudly approaches the stop. It would be so nice if the MTA could once in a while clean the train, whereas me sitting down in a white shirt won’t turn it into a gray one.
And the turnstiles! Is there absolutely nothing to replace them with!? I can’t stress enough how many times i’ve almost dismembered myself in half while running to catch a train. “Please Swipe Again at this Turnstile” …. Don’t tell me what to do ! What about all the people that hop these turnstiles? You don’t have to be an athlete to do that. I’m sure all these fare hikes bring in enough money to come up with a new entry system which doesn’t lack in efficiency.
The seats, the seats, the seats. I might as well sit on a cinder block if thats what you call comfortable. I know I’m not a small fella’ but would it be so hard to improve the leg room? I feel like I’m in a can of sardines during rush hour. If i can’t sit in peace for a one and a half hour ride where I’m not being felt up on, nudged, bumped into, then what is the purpose of the subway system ?
