The first few weeks of college were pretty good. I did most of the assignments and read the assigned readings. But I stopped. All of a sudden I found all the readings to be long and tedious, and I couldn’t stand reading for hours each day. I realized that I had Friday off, so I decided that I would just read all the readings that I missed on that day. I thought it would work, but it didn’t. It didn’t even work for the first week. The following week, I told myself I would make up my readings on the train rides and on that Friday. It wasn’t long until I realized that I stopped reading for any of my classes. I think I read most the assigned readings for the first month of class, and every reading after it was left incomplete. Now it’s a week away from finals week. I never read a single thing after the 2^nd philosophy test and I have so many readings left for anthropology that I cannot even count them with my fingers. I also have a history paper to write based on information from the Bible which I barely looked at. This last week of college is going to tough.

it was a cold winter sunday. 8 am. put on a dress shirt, slacks, a tie and a jacket. load up the trunk. i entered the bus with my music on, and took a nap. the nap lasts around 45 min – an hour and then it was time. as we woke up we all knew what lie ahead of us. it was 9 am and the game started at 1030. it was time to shine. going in all your thinking is. well in a 38 game season, we lost 4 games. one to this team. you think eh what the fuck, who cares, its my time to shine. you start to look at the enemy and they are somewhat large. a nice bunch of 21 year olds just staring you down, thinking these little bastards, they win this game and they go to the championship. MIND YOU, we had all intentions on winning the championship for the third year in a row. we sit down in the locker room, its silent. jock strap, left sock, right sock, pants, left skate right skate. left pad, right pad. then a nice meditation. glove save a beauty, i got this breakaway i thought to myself. yea i was starting this game, probably the most important game to date. if we lost that team was heading to nationals with us. if we won we mad it to the championship and showed them whos boss. game time approaches, and of course coach made a cool speech, but i didnt care. i was too busy focusing on what i needed to due. man and were they frustrated. i didnt show any mercy. no matter what they did they couldnt beat me, i was on fire. splits here and there, upside down inside out up down.. is the only way i can describe it. i was goooooood.

of course we won

and of course i then had a shut out in the championship

and thats how exciting my life used to be.

no i go to baruch

and work in mcdonalds

this sports med proffession better do me good..

bc 18 or 38, i want my life to be exciting.

I thought the Baruch Voices performance was simply splendid. It was very funny and entertaining. I thought it was a great t that us Baruch students got to see such an interesting show. I really liked how they tried to make it interesting however they could have talked more about things pertaining specifically to Baruch. That would have made it more meaningful to me

I chose this image because it reflects my general attitude so far Baruch. I don’t know where many things are, I am struggling in classes and and in garnering the responsibility necessary to be a successful adult. I am not too concerning though. I think a major reason i feel so confused is because I didn’t take things as seriously as I should have at the beginning of the semester. This made it so I had to play catch up and continue to learn new material while trying to cram in the old stuff as well. I am optimistic for next semester when I will have a fresh start and I can start off running as opposed to falling behind. I am using this first semester as a learning experience that I can use as a building block for the rest of my time at Baruch.  

I just think it’s ridiculous sometimes how people will try to get onto a crowded elevator when they simply need to go one floor up. The amount of effort you need to take to walk up one flight of stairs isn’t hard compared to the squeezing and cramping in the elevator.

I particularly really enjoyed attending the Voices performance of this year’s semester freshman seminar class. It was really interesting to hear the monologues and opinions of my fellow classmates. In a sense it made me feel as if I was much more closer to my peers. The actors were quite engaging. I learned a lot more about my peers and realized that although we are all different we have much more in common than I thought. Being here at Baruch, commutting  from the bouroughs to school, taking all these credits  sometimes with all the hustle and bustle of being a college student we forget about dealing with our emotions. The monologues gave me a change to express my life and feeling in a nutshell. In class I got to hear my classmates monologues and learned so much more about them. The voices performance exposed me to the immense talent that my freshman class possess. I enjoyed every performance. Some were thought provoking others were completely hysterical. I love acting so I felt right in my element and was impressed how they gave life to words.

Voices was an interesting experience for me because I initially thought it was going to be a waste of my time, but some parts turned out to be pretty funny. One of the monologues that stood out to me was the one about the boy continuously obsessing over his girlfriend. I thought that was weird and slightly annoying. Anyway, although it didn’t really help me academically, I thought it was a good ending to our class.

I think the best part of freshman seminar was the Monologues and all those free writings . I found it so unique that there were 25 other students who I have never met before , had the same problems I had . When we all had to read out loud our certain free writings I felt a certain connection to that person because I feel like I was going through the same troubles like most of them . Getting up there in front of the whole room and reading my monologue out loud was an experience that is irreplaceable. I also thought was very interesting and cool was when the professor put everyone into groups for a class we dislike and we all got to discuss our own certain problems an overcome those problems as a whole not as an individual.

In the end of the day freshman seminar was an awesome experience that I think every school should have . I met people I thought I would never meet before, made a lot of new friends , laughed, and only brought positivity to my whole freshman seminar experience.

I would like to thank Professor Vogel and miss Cybele for all there help through this first semester. I hope everyone has a great next 4 years in Baruch .
