My favorite workshop was Baruch Voices because it was nice hearing what other people are going through as we are all in the same place right now. I enjoyed the different takes people had on college, what they were looking forward to, and how they feel about it all. The actors did a great job too and I feel like they really drew the audience in with the way they recited the monologues.

The first three months of college have been a a learning experience for me. I have met great people and have learned things I never knew I would learn. I can’t wait to experience more and meet more people throughout my college career. Below I inserted a picture of some amazing people I have met.

There is a lot of independence given in registering for college classes. Though there are core requirements, I like the fact that you are able to choose the professor and times you want. Before registering, I am definitely going to read reviews about professors because I don’t want to be stuck with a bad professor and have no motivation to do well in the class.

 

In the future, I’d like to see myself as the head of a large company/corporation/etc. I am not sure how realistic this is, but I am planning to go down this path anyway. I am going to major in human resource management because I want to manage a company, but deal with the people aspect of it. I might to a minor in psychology because I feel like this is fits nicely with my major. However, for all this to happen, I need to make it into the business school first, and with all the math that involved to get there, I’m sure it’ll be a rocky road ahead.

Dear Professor,

Today, I was unfortunately unable to attend class because of a sudden illness and due to this, I have missed the midterm exam. I have gone to the doctor and he says it isstrep throat. I  have gotten a note from him and I hope this will suffice with you and I will eventually be able to make up this exam.

Thank you,

Time management has been an issue for me throughout high school. No matter how early I tell myself I wil finish an assignment or paper, it never really gets done until the last minute. I have the tendency to get overly comfortable with the time I have remaining to finish something, and before I know it, the time is gone. However, I feel like I work best under pressure. I don’t like spreading an assignment over a span of time. I like sitting there, focusing, and getting it done. But for this to happen efficiently, it has to be at the very last minute. I feel like the work I produce will just not be as good if I do it will lots of time left before it needs to be submitted. Maybe that’s just me, but I definitely work better under pressure with a time constraint.

When I first walk on, I immediately notice the overweight bald Hispanic man dressed in distressed denim jeans and a dirty red plain button down shirt, snoozing away with his massive husky resting on him. A peculiar odor is radiating from him. Next to him is the girl with bright orange lipstick, dressed in hipster clothes with her oversized headphones. Her head bobbing left to right, swaying with the music. I proceed to l find a seat next to a young Caucasian boy who looks about thirteen years old. He is carrying an overstuffed Jansport backpack and has two large textbooks in his hand. Ah, high school. How glad I am to be out of it. Next, standing against the doors that specifically say “Do not lean on doors”, is a built, tall black man with his acid washed jeans sagging down to his knees. His rap music is audible from the other side of the cart. Next, my eyes drifted over to the confused looking Asian couple, speaking some sort of Chinese dialect and browsing over a map of the city. Then of course, like clockwork, comes in a clan of a few Mexican men holding unidentifiable instruments. One of them starts singing a song in Spanish, while his mate plays the instrument, and the other starts pacing back and forth, holding out a sombrero, asking the passengers for money. Some of the passengers politely look away, while others look obviously annoyed. Then, there were those few who spare some change for the Mexican men. “Next stop is Fifty-ninth Street, Lexington Avenue”, I hear on the loudspeaker. I slowly arise from my seat, and wait for the train doors to open. I look back on the crowded subway cart and think about how this is just a typical day in the life of riding the subway. I see the same types of people, doing the same types of things. Sometimes I wonder, what is going through their minds whilst riding the subway? Do they look at one individual at a time, and analyze them physically and wonder what is going on internally? Do they judge one another? Maybe I just think too much. Not sure. But with every subway ride I take, I always find myself thinking about each one of these riders, who they are and where they’re going.

Though cheating takes place in schools across the country, I feel like not enough is being done to dissuade students from not taking part in it. Publicized punishment of students who do cheat will accomplish very little, in my opinion. Students have to realize within themselves why cheating is morally and ethically wrong.  However, when it comes down to it, there will always be those who will go down the path of cheating, and then those who will produce work with honesty and integrity. Though the article in The Ticker was a good one and may discourage some from partaking in cheating, there will always be those who do, whether it is against school violations or not.

I’m not crazy about blogging if it’s just me writing about things and reflecting on how I feel about something. I like blogging about other, more exciting things. I do enjoy blogging on Tumblr. I usually blog pictures of exotic places, beautiful things and people, and cool gifs or quotes. That’s what I like to blog. I don’t like writing posts. That’s why I was never one to keep a diary or whatever. Not really my thing. If I’m going to reflect on my feelings, I’d rather talk to somebody. But anyway, I don’t really mind this kind of blogging. I guess it’s a good way to get to know each other.

This is my song playlist that represents who I am.

1) What’s My Age Again? by Blink 182; http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=/watch%3Fv%3DK7l5ZeVVoCA

I started off with this song because first off, Blink 182 is one my favorite bands. Secondly, because it represents my carefreeness and desire to live life to the fullest. Sometimes, I forget that I’m an adult and I need to start acting like one, but that’s okay I guess.

2) The Motto by Drake; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYDKK95cpfM

This has to be in my playlist because if you know me, then you’d know I ALWAYS say “yolo” even though it probably gets on a lot of peoples’ nerves. Still, I wholeheartedly believe in the message of this song. You only do live once and you never know when your life could be over (as grim as that sounds, it’s true). I’ve seen people so young lose their lives and it’s tragic, to say the least. So, I live by this motto and carpe diem, and anything else of that sort.

3) Ridin’ Solo by Jason Derulo; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ESdn0MuJWQ

This is on my playlist because I am (or want to be) independent. I don’t like depending on others and I like being fully capable of taking care of myself and fulfilling my own duties and priorities.

4) Beautiful Place by Good Charlotte; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H3eoFOi7AE

Again, this is one of my favorite bands. I’ve loved them since 2006. This song makes me feel kind of nostalgic about the past but in a good way. It reminds me to appreciate my life and the people in it.

5) Moving On by Good Charlotte; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuBvG8NDxPc

Another one from this band. I love this song because it radiates that message of “you only live once”. I like how it’s about moving on without regrets and not fearing the future. I live by this (or try to). This is an all around feel good song for me.

6) I’m Just a Kid by Simple Plan; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GOR5gvQwDI

Literally, this is one of the first bands I’ve ever loved. There was a time where I knew every song of theirs by heart and I’d owned every CD they had ever come out with. I also remember buying a CD player just to play their CDS way back when. Anyway, I love the message of this song, that we’re all still young and we’re (obviously as the title suggests) still kids, and that we need to live accordingly. It’s been a very relatable song for me since I’ve been in elementary school.

7) Mirror by Lil Wayne; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZLUa8JUR18

This is a very self-reflective song for me and I like that it makes me think about who I am and who I want to be.

8) Bangarang by Skrillex; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR2XilcGYOo

I added this to my playlist because it is one of my most played. Hardly any words in it, I just love listening to the beat when I’m on the go.

9) Fly by Nicki Minaj ft Rihanna

First off, I LOVE Nicki. And I like the message of the song, conquering your insecurities, reaching for success and all (corny as it sounds).

10) All You by The Cataracs; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN5dQvYGBdE

Don’t know why this is last, but this is one my favorite songs, not really for its meaning, but for how it sounds. After just a week, it was on my 25 Most Played on my iTunes. Not really sure what it means, aside from letting loose and having fun? I don’t know, I’m just obsessed with it.
