FRO12 BMD

Playlist: Who Am I?

Hey all!

Well, I beat you all to it and have officially posted the first blog of the FRO Fall 2012 season for Section BMD. This playlist that I attached really doesn’t show who I am to my freshmen students, but more of the morals and things I would do for you guys or for true friends and definitely my family. Some of the songs have lyrics that depict the message I’m trying to send and others have it embedded in the song title. For you all, I hope you come to the realization that I look at myself as your leader and someone who will always be there for you. I want you all to know that. As I always say, and I stand by this, once a peer mentor, always a peer mentor. If you ever need help, now, next semester, next year, in five years, ten years, twenty years, whatever it is, as unlikely as that may seem, I’ll still be there. Just wanted you guys to know it. I hope you enjoy the ten song playlist I put together! 🙂

Song list:

1.  “Walk” – Foo Fighters
2.  “Changes” –  Tupac
3.  “We Are Now Connected” – Mord Fustang
4.  “I’m a Boss” – Meek Mill ft. Rick Ross
5.  “Be Yourself” – Audioslave
6.  “Just Like You” – Three Days Grace
7.  “Lose Yourself” – Eminem
8.  “Patience” – Guns N’ Roses
9. “Kryptonite” – 3 Doors Down
10. “Safe Home” – Anthrax

Hello Beautiful Students of FRO section BMD,

I finally got to adding you all on this website. This is where all of your blogging will go on. Now, I’ll show you all more about how to blog and how this all works, but know that you can make your blogs public or private to only our FRO class. As far as blogging goes, this will be your first of a few blogs throughout the semester. It goes as follows:

Create a two minute video, an eight image slideshow, or a ten song musical playlist that represents who you think you are to your classmates. Embed your creation in a blog post and then write no more than 500 words that explains how what you’ve created speaks to who you are. Here are some free tools that you can use for this assignment, but you are free to use whatever service you like:

• Video Editors: Youtube Editor http://www.youtube.com/editor/
• Image Slideshows:

– Blogs@Baruch built-in galleries (documentation forthcoming)

– Flickr – http://flickr.com

So guys, you have until October 1st, 2012 to complete this assignment. That is three weeks away and I assure you it won’t take long to do. There will be no extensions on this assignment and remember blogs are worth a critical amount of your FRO grade. Have fun and be creative with this!  =]

Best,

Your Peer Mentor,
