My favorite enrichment workshop if there’s any would probably be the “Voices”. Considering the other two are rather really boring. Despite the fact that the day of the performance was the day for us freshmen to register for classes, I still enjoyed the monologues even though I was force to leave during the beginning of the show to register my classes and seeing bunch of people leaving every 10 minutes during the show. My favorite monologue would have to be my friend Jacob Lee’s topic about getting up early in the morning and what a pain it is. It was pretty funny and entertaining, while at the same time describes exactly how I feel everytime I wake up 6 in the morning to go to class.

This image couldn’t describe my first 3 months in Baruch any better. Empty Wallet. The amount of money I spent on food, books, metrocards, food, food, food, and food is giving me a huge headache. It greatly pains to limit myself to $20-$30 a week and then break it on day 1 of the week. What’s worse is that the price of everything near Baruch is expensive compare to it’s regular price. Just last week, my friend and I were trying to get some food, it was raining outside, so we didn’t feel like running all the way to the dollar pizza place. So we ended up heading to a pizzeria nearby. I ordered a buffalo chicken slice, figuring the most they charge it would be $3 or so. It turned out to be almost $5. We didn’t have a choice but to pull out the wallet and stab outself in the heart.

 

 

 

 

I don’t have a specific career that I’m desperate to have, but I do plan on majoring in computer engineering related fields, because it is the only subject that interest me a bit and also can lead to success. Despite that I’m in Baruch right now, I do hope to  be able to transfer over to a school related to my career in the near future. I certainly do hope that my gpa will be good enough to make it to stony brook or better schools.

 

Registration Day have not been a problem for me as that I already know what classes I’m taking along with which professor is the best for me because of ratemyprofessor. I’m just praying that none of my desire classes will be completely full by the 29th. The session really help me because it made me realize some classes are necessary to take next semester. The guy also help me realize which classes should I take to open up more choices for me.

Dear professor x,

I am unable to attend today’s class(11/12/12) due to a sudden family emergency, I will provide a note from my parent regarding this issue when I return on 11/19/12. I am really sorry to trouble you and I will assure you that I will make up the works I’ve missed.

Thank you,
Qiyuan Chen

Time management has become an very important skill once you hit college. I can’t count how many times I end up procrasinating everything until the last minute and end up not finishing everything. In my personal experience, I can say that procrasination will never lead to good endings, so it’s best to finish up everything beforehands. Like right now, I had a week to do this blog post, but I chose not to. I had to wait until monday night when my electricity are about to be cut off.

It’s only been a little bit over a month since college started. I’m tired. For god’s sake… where are my freedom that I was promised to. Sleep, school, work, homework, repeat. Absolutely no time to have fun, this wasn’t what I was promised to. Everyday, I face the same people, hear the same voices, do the same routine, I’m tired. This is not even going to be a monologue, I’m going to make this my personal rant. Deal with it. Waking up in the morning after getting less than 4 hours of sleep is great. Run out of the house without eating breakfast, rushing to the subway while all the people in the street just blocks in front of you, walking at the speed of .00002 miles/hour,  suddenly stoping, looking around, checking time. Can you please get the hell out of my way? Subways are even worse, people are monkeys. If you can’t fit, then please either lose some damn weight or get out, don’t go pushing me to squeeze into that tiny space and blocks the doors from closing ten thousand times. 45 minutes of commute. 45 minutes of boredom. 45 minutes of stinking armpits. These people don’t shower I swear. Making the class 2 minutes before hitting lateness is pretty normal to me now. I know it’s my fault for not getting up early but blaming on other people makes me feel great. So yea, its their fault for not moving out of my way. I sometimes think I just dislike human, puny little human, so powerless, so weak!! I’m running out of stuff to say, apparantly everyone in my class typed like 400 words. How’s that possible? Well, I’m at 275 words now, so I guess it won’t be long, I just got to fill up the rest 125 words with random thoughts. Or I can keep counting words, that works right? I’m suppose to present this tomorrow, what a pain. Anyway, this monologue is due in like 18 minutes, I still have tons of homework left. I guess I’ll write another paragraph and summarize this pretty pointless rant of mine.

Since I said so many bad things about college, I figure I say something good too, I mean, the schedules are nice, 4 days a week, 2 days of each class a week, compare to high school, this shit’s great. I don’t have to face the exact same faces everyday, and what’s even better is I don’t have assignments from a class due the next day. Oh by the way, I miss those student metro cards, it’s one of those things you start to appreciate when it’s gone. Anyway, maybe I’ll fix up this essay later, 440 words! Objective reached.

 

 

After reading the article, it has come to my knowledge that cheating has become a huge problem in this country. More law should be enforced to prevent cheating from occuring. Cheating is wrong no matter what the situation is, however, everyone did it, I did it, probably everyone in Baruch did it but are ashame of admitting it. It’s only human nature to chose to cheat when in hopeless situations. It is wrong but it can’t be stopped. Even if I’m here talking about how wrong it is to cheat, somewhere in my heart I really don’t care much because I don’t want to be a hyocrite and talk about how we should stop cheating and blah blah but then next day cheats on my math test. However I do my best to keep cheating to a low degree, hoping someday I’ll completely get rid of this bad habit.

 

Thoughts about blogging-

Not really a huge blogging fan, but I think so far I’m fine with it. Then again I’ve only done one blog so far prior to this.

Personally I feel like there isn’t a need to blog every week. Blogging should be something you want to do and would give you joy for doing it. But making blogs for classes kind of restricted the purpose of the blog. The stuff you write on your blog should be easily taken out of your brain and not something you would have to drag yourself to think of something interesting to talk about. But again, I’ve only done 2 blogs(this one included) so my opinion might change later on.

Now to make up some assignments…

About me-

I’m 18 years old asian boy living in Queens, NY. I graduated from Francis Lewis High School in June 2012. So far I have very little idea to what I’m going to do in Baruch, hopefully that’ll change in a few months. I enjoy playing handball once in a while. Not a hardcore player nor an active player. I’m really great at procrasinating, I can’t wait to get school over with. So far I enjoyed Baruch College very much, met a lot of new friends and lost a few old friends because we had to split to separate schools. Hopefully this will be a fun year.

Perfect Class-

My image of a perfect class is a teacher who can make the class laugh and share his knowledge while doing it. My math teacher back in junior year in High School was probably the best teacher I ever had. Classmates should have a decent sense of humor and knows when to be a bit laid back and when to be serious. Not talking while the teacher is speaking would be great because I simply cannot stand others running their mouth when I’m trying to pay attention. Whispering is fine but as long as it’s not going to last for the whole class. Anyway, I’m not that picky, as long as when people know when to be serious, its fine with me.

 

 

I decided to make a playlist to describe myself( sorry for the late post to whoever is required to comment on it) I hardly listen to American music, so bare with me, some of these songs are quite old.

It’s my life(Bon jovi)

This song sums up my personality easily, I live my life the way I want. It’s a fairly old song but to me I can’t think of any other song that describes me better. I love to live my life to its fullest, time is precious to everyone. Life is too short to waste away.

Firework( Katy Perry)

I added this song to my playlist because I feel like everyone has the spark inside them, you might not be someone big and great right now but you’re definitly not useless and ignored. Someday you will burst in the sky just like fireworks.

Dynamite( Taio Cruz)

This song describes how I feel like doing almost everyday in school. Just throw everything in the air and let go of all my worries and just live my life.  I feel the title of the song describes me well because sooner or later all the worries and work will make me explode just like a dynamite.

Pokerface(Lady Gaga)

I’m not a huge fan of Lady Gaga but some of her songs are just too great to pass out, pokerface not being one of them.
I added this song to my playlist because of the title, and some of the lyrics… but mostly the title. I  put on a pokerface everyday to hide my true feelings. However most of the time it’s because I’m either annoyed or simply find your joke too corny to laugh at but somewhere inside me, I’m lauging.

Fireflies(Owl City)

I added this song for just one line in the lyric(I’m weird ’cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell) I hate saying goodbyes. It’s never easy for anyone but when you part ways with your best friends/families/love ones, it’s simply not easy.

Just can’t get enough( Black Eyed Peas)

I just can’t get enough. I can’t get enough of something once I’m addicted to it. Like say… chicken. It tastes great..

Fucking Perfect(Pink)

I love this song, the lyrics is great. Don’t ever doubt yourself, you’re fucking perfect, don’t listen to anyone that disagrees with it.

Skyscraper(Demi Lovato)

I added this song because I feel like no one can ever take you down, just rise from the ground everytime someone tries to take you down. I might not be the best at everything I do, but I will not let anyone take me down, I won’t give up without a fight.

You Give Love a Bad Name(Bon Jovi)

It doesn’t really relate to me but it describes how I feel when some of my friends describes to me about their relationship with their boy/girlfriend. I feel like some of them have “fake” love, no offense to anyone but sometimes a person simply dates another for attention/popularity or simply because they are pretty on the outside. Just don’t come complain to me when it doesn’t work out at the end~
Give me everything(PitBull)

This is just my desire, I simply want everything. Not that I can though, life would be boring if you don’t work for what you want.

 

Again, I’m really sorry to whoever that was suppose to comment on this. I procrasinated until the last minute… :/
