Like my friend said, in high school, no matter how bad you are, there will be

somebody worse than you. But in college, if you don’t study, you will be the worst one.

Yes, I am nearly the worst one in my class, at least among my Chinese friends. I do not

understand how I can get zero out of three multiple choices even though I read the

chapter the night before. I mean, many times. Then I say to myself “whatever..”

I did bad in my midterm, but I don’t have any pressure in my grades. I deserve it

because I did not study. Yeah, I did study the night before the test, but it does not mean

anything. Rihgt now, my situation is coming to class, getting sleep, eating food, playing

my phone or doing nothing, and then going home. Sometimes, I feel guilty because I do

not do my work and I will disappoint my family. Then, I might study hard for one or two

days. After few days, I will be lazy again.

I just do not have any interests about what I learn right. This reason may make me

feel comfortable of being lazy. Then I say to myself, “If it is science class or math class, I

should work hard definitely.” I really do not whether or not it is right direction that I

choose to study business, which was my mother’s choice. She said, “accounting is good,

lots of Chinese are doing that.” Then I come to business school because I just do not want

to disappoint her or argue with her.

Fine… Let it be…

Hello! Everyone! I’m Lili Lin! I want to introduce myself to you guys, so you can know better about me. Although I’m not really an outgoing person, I still like to make true friends~

Let me tell you a little secret about myself. As you may have noticed, I wear a pair of glasses with a string tie to it.  It looks stupid and ugly, right? At least my friends and my family think so when they saw the string. Trust me, it’s not because I pretend to be a good student, but it’s just because I have really, really, really bad memories. Before I have the string, I lost or broke two to three pairs of glasses every year! So the string is very important to me in order to save money – –

I think I’m not a good student. I don’t like to follow everything the professor asks us to do. Okay, sometimes it’s because I’m lazy… I have so many things in my mind that I want to do, but sadly I usually don’t have the strong motivation to realize them. I think study should be a interesting thing to do, and I don’t like to force myself although I have to. I think my biggest problem is to think too much and doing less.

I value family and friendship a lot, which is part of the reason that I came to Baruch. I don’t like politic and business, but I like things to be simple and easy. My dream is to become a teacher. It doesn’t matter how much money a teacher can earn. Good teachers are always my role model, and also the most important is that I like to be with the children. They are so innocent that they truly express their feelings on their face. I think teacher as a career is the most easy job for the heart. Unlike politic and business, which require more consideration in many aspects. I always believe that the more simple the life is the more happiness I can get. However, life sometimes is complicated. I came to Baruch because one of my friends said that she was going to come to this school, but it turned out that Baruch didn’t accept her and she went to Hunter. Now I have to face all these business things…

My hobby is to read Chinese romantic novels and eat Sushi!!! I think I will be so happy if I can do these two things at the same time…

I am an easily fulfilled person.

I have multiple personalities, or maybe multiple sexualities. Sometimes, I’m a lady-like person; and sometimes, I become like a man. It’s actually conflict I have in every day. In my closet, I have one section of girlish clothing and another section with full of clothes that my brother would prefer. On my table, there are collections of nail polishes, make-up tools, and perfumes; and on my hanger, there are collections of snapbacks and Newera hats. I love to watch romantic movies and I love to watch baseball game. I love to cook and bake while listening to aggressive songs. People who don’t know me well sometimes surprised by the variation I have in each day. Someone even couldn’t recognize me oneday because I had very distinct outfit from another day.

I wasn’t like this when I was in younger age. I was still a naughty girl and had a big mouth but I loved that most of other girls loved. Actually, I pretended to be like that. Maybe, back then, I did not know what I actually like so I just followed other girls, thinking that is how normal teenage girl should be. I loved to listen to hip-hop music but I pretended not since I did not want to be different from other girls. I couldn’t even tell my friends because if I do, they would have said I have bad taste and they really did when I told them I love watching baseball game. Well, I think I hid my true self to not to be like the ugly duckling. Yet, it changed when I finally realized that there is nothing categorized as boys should like and girls should like. I like what I like and I am who I am. There was nothing to be embarrassed about myself. I, maybe, was an ugly duckling within my friends, but because I was a mutant, I had my chance to become a swan.

However, there is a problem. There is nothing bad about wearing men’s clothes and watching baseball games, but it becomes a problem when I have two distinct lives. If I like only men’s things, it is all fine and I can define my type. But, I also like girlish things. Whenever I go shopping, I have a conflict whether to buy a skirt or a hoodie; a hairband or a snapback; a heel or sneakers. I want both but there is a limit I can spend. Not only that, I have a confusion of myself. One day, I ask myself if lady-like Eunji is not real I and that is a fake-image that i want to show to others. Or, is lady-like Eunji is true Eunji and i am just being boyish so I look special? After trying to figure out my true personality, I finally realized that girlish or boyish is what the world has defined. I do not belong to any of those but I belong to Eunji Kim.

Hi！Everyone，my name is Jia Hui Zhang. I immigrated to United States three years ago. During these three years, I’ve been experienced many difficulities in learning English. But, I found that it’s interesting to learn different kinds of language and different cultures.

I went to James Madison High School where i met two best friends. I think friendship is so important to me, because i hate the feeling of being alone in which you can’t even find a person to talk about your problems. I like to make new friends, but sadly, I am just not a conversational person, and I think the atmosphere is so awkward when talking to a new friend. That is why many peope found that I am a quiet person when they first know me. Actually, I am a very talkative and crazy person.

I don’t really like studying, even though I knew that education is so important. Sometimes I just feel bond by so many assignments. So, I enjoyed mostly on my leisure time.

During the free time, I enjoy watching TVB dramas. I like the plot of the drama include police investigated different crimes, because I adore the justice of the policeman. I also like to watch korean dramas, except the long ones, because if the drama is too long that makes the plot being so complicated.

Usually during the weekend, I would like to hang out with my friends or stay at home watching dramas. Cleaning my house is also one of my habit during weekend. I also like to learn and dry new things which college is a perfect place for me.

Once I don’t have a good mood, I like to listen to some musics. I ususlly listen to some slow and romantic songs, because I dislike the song that is too loud and noisy.

That’s only part of me, if you want to know more about me, I am happy to be friends with you.

Hi, everyone. My name is Lin. About two years ago, I moved to Flushing and my life was totally changed. I went to John Bowne High School, where I began to be used to English. Then I go to Baruch. That’s why, now, I’m here to introduce myself.

I love music, no special styles, maybe Gangnam style. Listening to music can relax me from the bad mood, and even make me more excited. Recently, I found Jazz was so attractive. “Don’t Know Why” by Norah Jones was the first Jazz music I liked. Of course, I also like some pop music, such as “Titanium”, “Part of Me”, and “Good time”.

I love blue. I don’t know why. I like other colors, too. But for most of things, I often choose blue. Maybe because when I see the ocean and sky, I will feel peaceful.

I love dramas, which are from Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan, especially some romantic ones. Their main characters are always nice or handsome. And I like good endings, and hate someone dies because the pity will always leave in my mind.

I am Cancer. I believe the constellation, like most Cancerians have similar personality. And also, some astrologers can predict the fortune of each constellation. My friend told me that the astrologer Susan Miller found that Nov. 13th is a lucky day for Cancerians, so I am going buy the lottery on that day.

I always get up late! That’s why I often get school on time, or unfortunately, being late. I tell myself, just sleep for a little while, only a little. But at that time, falling sleep is so easy that it is hard to control my mind.

I am quiet and slow. I rarely talk in front of people, not only because I am shy, but I am not so confident. However, if I am sitting with my friends, I will be more active, and even totally different from before.

And I am not efficient. I should finish a part of reading within an hour; however, I will lose my attention and finish that within 3 hours. I am trying to correct this shortcoming now.

This is only a part of me. If you wanna know more, welcome to be my friend. If not, never mind.= =. That’s all. Thank you!

Hello, everyone!

My name is Dandan Lin. I am very happy to introduce myself here. I am a freshman in Baruch College. I graduate from John Bowne high school which is in Flushing, Queen. I live in Flushing with my whole family. I have one brother who is still a high school student. Although I am a immigrant in America, I enjoy life here. For me, the most important happiness is my family.

Maybe you will ask me what my major is. Exactly, I am not sure for it. It is undecided because I do not know where my interests is. When my friends say, ” you must major in accounting or finance, right ?” I just shake my hand. So they are always joking me ,” hi, are you serious??? Why you go to business school but not for business majors?” I believe I am able to determine my major after I experience more in Baruch College.

There is saying: ” Life is a long journey. Only friendship could make you feel not lonely.” I am a easy-going girl. I like making different kinds of friends. Although I do not have very good English, I am so willing to talk with friends. Moreover, I love smiling. I think smile could help build the nice relationship. And it could help reduce the gaps between people.

I also love traveling. When I was in China, I went to many places of interest such as Guangzhou and Beijing. Sometimes, I will save money for the trip. Although saving money is a hard process, enjoying journey is so exciting and joyful for me. As I firstly arrived in America, I went to Chinatown and central park. Maybe you will think that I am so crazy because almost people who are new to a country would stay at home and have rest. If you are also willing to making friends and traveling, maybe we could be the good friends.

Here I am, a out-going girl, would you like to make friends with me?

Hi. My name is zhehui, I immigrated to this country 4 years ago and I went to the high school in Buffalo for my first year, and then I transferred to john bowne high school where I graduated on July. Before I thought going to school is tedious and I almost had no interests in studying, but after sophomore year, I was sort of realized the importance of education then I just started to spend more time on studying. And now I think besides focusing on learning, I also need to think about my future, more specifically, my future career.  However, I still enjoy more in my leisure time.

During the breaks or free time, I would like to watch movies, read comics, and maybe sometimes cook some Chinese food. Specifically, I love to watch all kinds of movies, but scared movies and science fiction movies are my favorite because of their exciting plot and scene. However, it is a little boring if all the main characters or heroes always win in the same way or the others. Therefore I prefer to find some movies that the bad guys or the negative characters in the eyes of majority could beat the heroes in the end. For example, the saw series are my favorite ones, the ending of these films is always like the killers survive and cops die.

Besides watching such horror movies, I also love to read the Japanese comics like Naruto and One piece. They update only once a week and I just need 20 minutes to finish reading them each week. But they are the task on my weekly schedule, because after more than 10- year publish, their plots are still very exciting and

There is also something I dislike or hate to do. One thing is that I don’t like to read the novels, especially, the English novel, yea sometime is because it is difficult to understand for me if it had certain amount of vocabulary. Also I think American novels are sooooo boring; their plots are not funny or exciting at all. For instance, I read several novels in my high school English classes; certainly I read them because I did not want to fail the class. But their plots are not attractive at all. I mean if I finished in the middle, and I would have no interests to continue to read. Probably this only happened to me while other people might love to read English novels, or it was probably because of the cultural differences.

Sometimes I like to cook, but I also hate eating some food such as seafood, sweat food and also the fast food. wow!！I almost eat nothing, actually I always want to be a vegetarian. Not because I am a Buddhists or I want to save the lives of animal, I just try to be healthier and lost some weight.  But that was almost impossible for me to insist, because vegetable is just tasteless…

Hello, everybody, as I’ve said in the title, my name is Jiancong Lai. I was born in China, and I came to the United States about five years ago. When first arrived in the U.S., my family settled down in Staten Island. I went to a public junior high school located in Staten Island for one term before my family moved to Brooklyn. And after my four-year learning in James Madison High School, now I was in Baruch.

I do agree that I am a quiet person, as I always focus on my works quietly. But with the people who I get familiar with, I would be more outspoken. After all, I am very happy to know more people and make more friends. Unlike most of other boys, my favorite sport is swimming, not playing basketball, and this should be attributed to my childhood experience. I began to wear glasses at the age of ten, and I only took them off when going to sleep. In this way, my glasses were broken for several times as I played basketball with my friends or classmates in school. So gradually, I avoided playing basketball, and turned to enjoy swimming.

Coming to Baruch, a school being well-known of its business courses, my intended major, like many of you guys, is accounting. Hopefully I can get into Zicklin School of Business with a decent GPA.

Hi, everyone. My name is Tianran(Tyler). As u all know, I’m an immigrant from China. I’ve lived in Flushing, Queens for one year. I’m dorming this semester, but I’m going to live in Queens after this semester. The reason why I’m dorming this semester is that I want to know what kind of college dorm cultures are.

My intended major was Finance and Investment, but know I’m thinking about accounting or actuarial science. My intended minor is Mathematics.

My Hobbies: I used to play video games when I was in primary school. After I went to middle school, I seldom play video games. Now, I do play some QQ games, and some games like angry bad, fruit ninjia.

I love watching movies. (Especially action movies, romance movies, and motivated movies)

My favorite two movies are: one is “The pursuit of happiness” by Will Smith, the other one is “The classic”

“If u get a dream, it should be protected.” This is what I learnt from this movie.

“The classic” is a Korean movie by Ye-jin Son and Seung-woo Cho, I have watched this movie more than 10 times, it’s such a touching story.

Btw, my roommate is Korean, I would like to pick up some Korean, maybe it’s useful. I live in Flushing, mostly are Chinese and Korean there. Unfortuatly

I love listening music, it makes me relax.

I love ice-skating, but I’m not very good at it. I just like it, and I will keep practicing.

Reading biography is my interest too, because I can see how they become successful, then I learn some skills from them.

There is one Korean drama I would like to talk about is FULL HOUSE, by song hyo kyo.

Im a Christian. My dad had influences on me. He is a Christian too. I usually go to church on Sundays. BUT now, I just got email said we have to make up for the missed classes on Sundays. Hard to choose which is the priority. But I will probably choose to go to church.

My dad influenced me a lot. He was assigned to Africa twice by Chinese petro company. When he got back from Africa, he told me that African people are so poor, many children don’t have enough food to eat, and died of starvation. They lack basic education too. My dream is to work in wall street. To get a lot of money, then help the poor people in the world.

Thanks

There seems to be a linear trend in the relationship between how cold and unpleasant the weather gets outside and how frozen my toes/hands feel. We had one natural disaster that knocked the city out for a week, and as we recover we are expecting more malicious weather today– the nasty winter storm! It is only the first week of November and we are already getting slammed with this kind of weather! This winter’s going to be bad, man, I feel it in my numb frozen toes even though I don’t feel anything in them at all at the moment. Have you ever felt like your toes and fingertips weren’t there cause you were so cold? Creepy… I’m really bummed out that we basically had no fall this year and skipped right to winter. I love autumn; the cool but not uncomfortable weather, the plethora of colors hanging off of trees and falling to the ground, the crisp crunch of leaves underneath your feet as you walk, Halloween!!! (which by the way did not happen for me this year). Let’s face it spring is extremely short in New York and now this year there was practically no autumn!? Return my beautiful and temperate equinox seasons dammit!
