This is one of the hardest tasks I have ever had. I think that I would rather answer questions on the critical reading section of the SAT than answer this one. Who am I? I answered “I don’t know” to this question the last time someone asked me, but I will give it another chance right now with this eight image slideshow. So here it goes. I am a girl who loves to travel. I dream to travel the entire world one day. Some places that I have visited include the Taj Mahal and the London Eye. Ever since I was exposed to the French language and culture, I have dreamed of living in an apartment in Paris that has the most beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. Although I do not live in Paris, I was able to visit the beautiful city. I love being exposed to new cultures, and introducing others to mine. I am an Indian girl who needs to eat spicy food every day. One of my favorite Indian snacks is called “samosa chaat,” which consists of potatoes enclosed by a shell make out of dough, covered with gravy. I also have a sweet tooth, which explains my love for Nutella crepes with bananas. I need to have coffee or tea at least twice a day, iced to be exact. The baristas at Starbucks can never get my name right while taking my order, writing out names such as Dita, Deena, and Dija. I love to visit Central Park and look at how it changes throughout the year. The picture that I took during my most recent trip to Central Park is my favorite picture of nature. The trees form a beautiful arch made to walk under and appreciate the beauty of nature in New York City. I love going to the city at night and looking at all of the bright lights. I guess now I can say who I am: an adventurous girl who loves life and has a dream that she hopes will soon come true.

My playlist consists of ten songs which all come together to best describe me as a person. My taste in music is very broad and always has been since I was little. I was brought up in an environment where my parents always had 60s oldies playing at home or on the radio. Because of that I really came to appreciating the talent and joy those simple pop songs bring to me. Beyond those classic pop songs, I love certain female singers that can often be classified as feminists. These women first and foremost represent and portray the struggles incurred by young women in America, particularly New York City; throughout their songs. Part of my playlist includes several romantic love songs that I listen to on a regular basis, which can best define my emotional vulnerability. I have also posted songs related to Judaism and my strong devotion to my faith. These major topics and motifs all come together to form a huge part if not all of who I am as a person. I believe I will always continue to evolve and change throughout my life but my personal beliefs and feelings have always been evidently conveyed through the music I choose to listen to; which is why I chose to create a playlist to help best define myself.

I don’t know how to make video and I am definitely not a music person, so I decide to make slideshow instead. So, Who I Am ?

From the slideshow, I can list out that:

• I live in New York City.
• I am from Vietnam.
• I don’t like tanning on the beach.
• I have two best friends, one of them is living with me.
• I love my family.
• I’m Buddhist.
• I love Macarons.

I’m from Vietnam and I currently live in New York City. I go to Baruch College. I choose these images as tools to describe who I am because I feel that these images reflect all the important things in my life. Firstly, I love my family. My family has been there for me since the day i was born. I receive love and support from them. Therefore, my family is the part of who I am, so they definitely are in the slideshow.

Along with my family are my friends. You know how people often say that we can’t choose our family but we can choose our friends? I have two best friends and I have known them for 7 years. I have had friends who come and go, but my two best friends have always stood by my side no matter what. I can’t say that sharing secrets makes us closer, but understanding each other makes our friendship stronger. They are a part of who I am today.

I’m Buddhist. I actually don’t know why I this important to me. Why am I buddhist ? I actually don’t know. I have prayed to Buddha for as long as I can remember. I remember how I used to go to the temples when I was little. I prayed and asked for certain things that I want in life, like intelligence, grades, health,etc. The ideas of praying seem to be peculiar and unexplainable at this time.However,  sometimes, I don’t know why, I still pray for luck whenever I get nervous before I start doing something. Buddhism is important to me.

Another big thing about me is that I love Food. I love desserts, especially French Pastry. I love macarons most in all of the pastries. I don’t know why do I love it. I guess that there are certain things that you like, but you can’t even explain why. Probably because of the memories ? Or simply just the taste of macarons. Whatever it is, I just love it !

These are the things that are parts of my life. They perhaps reflect a little about who I am. I feel that it usually takes time to understand a person, not just from reading about it.

They say that a person’s playlist can tell you a lot about their character. When looking at my playlist, one of the first things that you might notice is that they are from a variety of genres. To me, music is a universal language. It does not matter if it’s rap, country, reggae, rock, or classical, because in all these forms, music is expressing what cannot be expressed with words. I also really like the lyrics of all my songs on this playlist because at one point in my life, they described everything I was feeling. I am a hopeless romantic so the lyrics of each song mean a lot to me. I love songs that have upbeat music where you just end up finding yourself dancing and singing along. Sometimes, I just picture myself driving down an empty highway with the wind in my hair while these songs play in the background. Music has always been in my life, I love to play music, listen to music, and find new music. There is not a day that goes by without me listening to music. Every morning, I turn on Pandora and listen to music while I get ready for class. It seems that the songs that play help boost my mood even when I am not having such a good day. For me, music is inspirational, beautiful, and unifying. I guess that’s who I am. I am a person who loves to explore different boundaries, whether it is in music, culture, or new adventures. I am mysterious, because music has so many different meanings and each person gets a different message from each song. I am undefined, I can be anything I want if I choose to do so just like how music can be anything it wants. I think that I am like that, a person who just wants to be free to be whatever she wants to be.

This is a playlist that consists of a few of the songs I often listen to. Most people probably know every song on the playlist because they’re all popular songs played on the radio. The contents of each song do not describe me but the fact that each of them sound good and has a good beat does. I like to listen to whatever that sounds good. When I’m at a store, in a car, or walking through the streets and I hear a song that sounds nice, I listen for a few words to remember so I can go on Google when I get home to find it. I think being a person who just listens to music for its beat and not caring much about its content makes me a carefree person. I always try to stay laid back from everything. I like to take shortcuts but only if it isn’t too problematic. I try to avoid arguments and problems. If I had a choice between getting something I want in a short time with hard work or in a longer time with little work, I’d probably choose to do less work, of course depending on what it is. I guess that makes me lazy too. However, I’m someone who always gets my work done on time. Whether my work is good or complete garbage, as long as I get it done I’m satisfied. These are not the best traits to have and I should probably fix that but I’ve been managing my life this way so far. I hope they don’t come back to bite me in the future!

I saw this today and thought it was interesting and trust me, it has nothing in it that needs to be censored ( Damn picture). When reversing words or sentences, a different meaning can come out. Who would have thought? So if you take all those meaningless songs and reverse them, perhaps they will have meaning or would they still be corrupting?

Honestly, I looked at other posts and I don’t have a playlist I listen to a lot or photo slides or anything else like that. I don’t really get attached to much and mostly go with the flow. I don’t really take pictures of events and post them anywhere. I let other people do that. I have never really blogged before so I’m not really too comfortable about it. Well, maybe as time goes by, I’ll get the hang of it and find something good to write about.

Well, I have showed this to a couple of friends on Facebook and they said it was quite accurate. I will take their word for it. I’m a strange person aren’t I? I’m shy but I’m also outrageously wild. I’m over-dramatic but also apathetic. My character is full of contradictions! But don’t worry; I haven’t been diagnosed with bipolar disorder…yet! In most cases, if I don’t feel comfortable, I’ll be on the quiet and shy side.  If I do feel comfortable, and it does take me a while to get used to things, I’ll be more vocal and excited about things.

You can say that my personality leans towards both sides of extremity. However, I think it is a matter of my comfort level at the situation. In high school, I had to struggle for the longest time to make friends. It wasn’t until senior year that I had found friends who cared and liked me for who I am (or at least I hope they did!).

The internet is a world where anyone can retain some degree of anonymity. Even though people know it’s me behind that username, I’ve been told that I act like a completely different person, more vocal, excited, and sometimes weird.

As a result of my timidity and perhaps even reluctance to step outside of the box in real life, I’ve turned to the digital arts to get attention and express myself. That would also explain why senior year was the best year in my high school career — my major started learning about Flash animation and other fun digital arts. So in my animation, I decided to reflect on my personality and turn it into my subconscious mind’s documentary about me!

My character cannot be summarized in just one word alone. I act on both sides of extremes, because life would just be boring if everything took the middle road. In my personal blog, I described myself as, “I am merely the ordinary, the different, the extraordinary. I am a different kind of wallflower”. This is who I am; I have many layers of dimensions. Take it or leave it.

My name is Jasmit Singh, and to sum up my slideshow, I am a boy who’s nationality is Indian, and who enjoys to play basketball and eating cookies; I am a studious boy who has ambitions of working on wall street and I play the bongos! Actually no, that isn’t who I am. I am unique and I’m not your average Joe. I am an American-born Sikh who still values his background culture of India. The bongos mentioned before are called a Tabla, a traditional instrument used in India in which I taught my self to play. The table is an instrument in which I express my self. It shows that I value my Indian culture as much as my American culture. Like your average American Joe, I love to eat cookies and play and watch sports, but unlike others I also wear a turban and am proud of it. In one of the pictures, I am wearing a sweatshirt that says, “United as One” on it. That is what I believe we as Americans are and it’s apart of my mindset. No matter how different we may seem, I believe that we are one. My slideshow also shows that I like to play basketball and also that I am student. But I chose those pictures because I want to convey the idea of hard work. I value hard work and I try my hardest at anything I do. I hope to work hard enough one day that I achieve my goal of working on Wall Street. But to conclude, one word that I describe myself that is shown in all of my pictures is that I am different, we all are.

Hello everyone!

As you may know, I am Carina Cybele Verzosa.. FRO peermentor! You all can call me Cybele/ Carina whichever one works (preferably Cybele). Here is a picture  slideshow of almost recent pictures of myself (except for a few) and they all have a story! First one is a meme and I picked that because I love to laugh and anything humorous! If you can guess what the first picture says then you get 10 pts of recitation! JKJK! The next ones are just a compilation of pictures with my family, friends and my lion!

I am a very weird person in many ways. I don’t show my weirdness in the public because people will definitely freak out. I only show it in front of my parents and my close friends. I like to scare my dad by hiding behind the door. I like to trick my friends even when it is not April Fool’s Day. Anyway, besides that I am weird, I am also a very emotional person. Whenever I watch a touching movie, I am always the first one to tear before my friends do. I even cry when the scene is not even very touching. I don’t know; I just get emotional sometimes. Writing is my worst enemy. I hate almost all types of writing: long research papers, essays, and even a short mini paragraph. For those of who don’t really know me, I do laugh a lot. I have the weirdest laughter. I like to be super organized. If things are not in their designated place, I will get frustrated. I guess I have some kind of OCD. One bad thing that I don’t like about myself is that I think too much. I always tend to overthink about everything and anything; I like to daydream. Mopping is my most hated house chore. I don’t know why I hate it. I guess sometimes you just hate something for no apparent reason. Lastly, I like to stay home for most of the time. Sometimes I rather stay home and watch movies instead of going out and eat. I am a typical home girl.
