If I was Ying for a day

If I was Ying for  a day I would make the class more fun. For a few days we played a debate game where there were two sides and we got to choose our side and defend our claim. I had alot of fun actually, and I really wanted to do more of them. We had really good discussions concerning the issues brought up such as ethical dillemas. I think if we had more of these it would have been a much more enjoyable class, which is very needed when the class meets at so early on Tuesday mornings. Also, it would be alot more fun if the class could meet in between our history class (which is right after) and our english (which is 3 hours later). having it in between would cut out our 3 hour wait period

My favorite workshop was definitely the Rubin Museum of Art.The reason I liked the Rubin Museum of Art so much was because of all the beautiful art on the wall. At the time the  Rubin Museum of Art was showcasing a huge exhibit full of Asian art that had this whole Tibetan monk’s shrine feel going on and it was just fantastic. The  Rubin Museum of Art had assembled the exhibit to look just like a shrine in Asia for I think it was Buddhism. The  Rubin Museum of Art did not allow us to take pictures though, which was a real bummer. I really wanted to take a picture of the  Rubin Museum of Art’s shrine exhibit. The  Rubin Museum of Art had alot of other cool things to, such as pottery from the area that the art was from. The  Rubin Museum of Art had this one particular silver vase thing that was very pretty. It was sleek and well designed and very ornate. It had swirling designs cascading from top to bottom and I really credit the  Rubin Museum of Art for finding such a nice ornate piece. The  Rubin Museum of Art also had a very interesting piece of art on the wall, which was a picture of a wolf eating people. It was a very gory picture, which makes me question the  Rubin Museum of Art’s judgement for putting a picture like that where children go, but it was very interesting and the wolf was so fierce. I was actually inspired to look up more art after I left the  Rubin Museum of Art and I found out alot about the culture in asia from studying the art I was able to find online, such as the concept of beauty from different cultures.

That meme accurately depicts my first semester at college. College is alot harder than what I thought it would be, and the hardest part is keeping away from distractions (such as facebook). facebook is really so hard to ignore when a teacher wont leave a tangent and its just one click away to a time consuming bliss. Also, I think i study alot but really, i dont study enough. Im going to have to work alot harder and throw in alot more study time for the second semester… especially since I have art history, which i hear is a mind numbing class. I didnt even get alot of good teachers, most of my teachers I have no clue about. I cant beleive I was forced to register so late, after all the good times and classes had been taken up. Im mostly hoping and praying that my teachers dont turn out to be fools like some of my teachers were this semester. The picture about what society thinks I do is also very skewed, I mean, Baruch isnt a party school or anything like that, so we definately do alot less than other schools, or society would think we do. I do kind of do what the government thinks I do though, considering they are paying for a my education in full… yay for free rides and fafsa! I do alot of the just hanging out that the 1st picture says I do to, not really in huge groups but im sure ill expand my circle of friends in the coming semster. So yeah, this picture really represents how my 1st college semster was like, with all the hopes of what college is, and the reality of what college is… alot of hard work.

2nd blog post

I feel really empowered when i just go to college or work. I feel like im really heading in the right direction in life and i feel like im taking the reigns and becoming more self sufficient every day. Being my own man is what drives me at the moment, and nothing helps more than that then going from no responsibility to every responsibility ive ever dreamed i would have at this point in life.

Music that defines me

These ten songs really vibe with me. From the culture in Drink and Fight to the troll tendencies of Whose Lovin’ Your Mama to the amazing remix of Somebody That I Used To Know. All of these songs invoke some type of feeling in me that other songs just cant match. Enjoy
