    These pictures don’t represent what my classmates think of me because most of you don’t know me but they are pictures that represent me. The first picture was taken at a Gareth Emery concert back in August. It represents what I like to do during my leisure time. I love raving with friends and watching my favorite dj’s perform. The second picture is a whole bunch of doodles that I drew during class during senior year. Just started with one corner and ended up filling the whole page. I have a great appreciation for art. Unfortunately, our art history teacher ruins the class but if it weren’t for her I’d actually enjoy it. The next picture represents my dreams of traveling the world. My plans for future traveling are to 1) get married 2) work till I’m 27/28 3) go backpacking in Europe with husband and friends 4) travel to countries that flourish with culture (ex. India, Egypt, etc..) & spend half of the time I’m at each place for leisure and the other half to do missions work 5)come back to the States and road trip from NY to LA. Very ambitious I know… but i’ll do it. The next picture is a picture of someone skydiving which represents my crazy and active side. I’m a very active person and I love the idea of adventures. I have many things on my bucket list and skydiving is definitely one of them. The next picture represents my tv show. I can’t say that I’m a good cook at all and i have no idea why but i love to watch the food channel. I love taking naps to this show and waking up to it. I guess its cause I’m pretty gluttonous. The next picture is a picture taken of me and kids from the Dominican Republic. For the past four years I’ve been going on missions trip every year to help out those who are less fortunate and to spread the gospel. The following picture is all the Nicholas Sparks books i’ve bought. If you don’t know, Nicholas Sparks has written famous movies such as The Notebook, The Last Song, The Lucky One, Dear John, etc. This picture represents the hopeless romantic side of me. Honestly can’t wait to get married. The last picture is a picture of my family and I at Costa Rica about to go tree gliding. We go on a family trip to places all over the world once a year. This picture represents my love for my family. Hope these pictures help you guys somewhat know me better.

    alright first of all i don’t think any of these pictures describe who i am its just what i think other people see in me. i just found a bunch of random stereotypes of Koreans or Asians. As far as the light house and the penguins i like nature and scenery. I dont like doing math but i prefer it over other subjects , i like kimchi im korean, david so comedy is funny and hes korean. psy dances funny and hes korean. And there you have it Korean guy who likes comedy , kimchi and animals

  3. My first picture is of the cross because before my sophomore year I didn’t want anything to do with God. I believed I was an atheist. I even cursed God sometimes when someone tried to say it in my face. I was open to anything in freshman year of high school. Then one day my best friend wanted me to go to church with him to try and meet this girl he had a crush on. Little did I know that I would meet the greatest group of people and a life I never knew I would get to know. It took me a while because I was stubborn, but I suddenly changed when I finally understood how bad humanity is. We are so bad, we indeed need a savior to change us and forgive us for our sins. There has to be so much more than just this life.
    My second picture is of my family. Yes they are probably the most important people in my life. They are the ones who influenced me the most in the way I am. I love them and I would do almost anything for them.
    My third picture is the picture of my best friend. I have known him for 5 years and we haven’t really had our quarrels. We tend to compete with one another at times, but in the end we always help each other out. This relationship I have with my best friend is pretty much a “bromance”. I can call him bro, broski , bra or even as close to almost a real brother. I have three other brothers I really enjoy being with, they just don’t know him as well as he does.
    My fourth picture is of the wolf pack I made with three of my brothers. Whenever we go out, we are always out together. Although we are all different ages, except my best friend, we all consider each other as close as brothers. We all have our own distinct personalities and we all know each other’s darkest secrets.
    My fifth picture is of my other brother I didn’t talk about yet. Yes, she is a girl, but she is practically a guy in our eyes. We have been through so much and it’s probably not appropriate if I talked about what we have been through.
    My sixth picture is of my church. Although this appears small, we are much bigger than this. They are all brothers to me in Christ and they are all important to me. The seventh picture is of Toy Story 3. I included this picture because my church is actually located in Sunnyside, Queens. I found this picture funny because a lot of my church members have distinct characteristics just as the characters have distinct characteristics.
    My eighth and final picture shows food. I just love food and that’s the only reason why it’s there. Food brings me closer to a lot of people.

    I chose 8 pictures that can represent me to my classmates.These picture shows my personality and hobby as well. As you know I am not that talkative and outgoing. So I notice I am sometimes alone. Those two pictures(bird and a cow) represent it. But once I get into the people, I also can be interactive with them and the bee and bird around the flower represent it. Riding bike and the busses pictures represent I like to travel and I am living busily. The cliff and the dark room represent my pessimistic view of the world. But I am not always so negative ^_^

  6. http://open.spotify.com/user/1216453547/playlist/5ytWSq4fA7p3ibPCqvymQa

    This playlist I put together, isn’t what I believe others think of me,(though if someone has come to the conclusion, I might be wrong), rather a playlist of emotion represented through sound on how I view life and go about my life.
    First I chose songs that I felt had a great deal of emotion, but also represented the music I enjoyed, trance/electronia,indie,metal(though none posted) but also what others might also enjoy. Then I tried to organize the songs by tempo, and listened to what song would pull the listener in via an intro, then songs that got faster and more powerful, towards the end the songs get slower again and more calm to a enjoyable finish.
    The music,I believed, puts you in more calmer state of being. Being able to relax and not worry about all the things you have to get done by the end of the day, week, month, year, etc. Sometimes its better to just listen and enjoy the moment for whatever it is. Especially in a college, and worse as a freshman. The transition from highschool to college can sometimes be a struggle. Hopefully anyone who listen is able to relax, even if just for a little while.

  7. Before I even start talking about how these pictures represents me. I’d like you guys from my FRO class to know this isn’t what you think of me. I mean I hardly even know few of you, let alone all of you. Most of you don’t even know who I am. My name’s Tenzin, you can call me Tee or Tewang if you like. I would probably know you guys better had we had more classes together. It sucks that FRO is the only class I have with you guys. By the way, I am that Asian kid that usually sits at the last row during FRO. Moving on, I’d like to talk about the pictures. 1) The first picture is a picture about Tenzin’s. I really don’t know what to think about it. I feel good that there are more or less than a million people with the name Tenzin. It’s like so common among us Tibetan people. I alone know more than 200 people name Tenzin and I have more than 700 people name Tenzin on my face-book friend list. And just to put it out there. Yes, I Am Tibetan and I DO NOT hate Chinese people. I think it is annoying when people ask me “You’re Tenzin Right?” OMG! Are you Tibetan? DO you hate Chinese people too?” like Bitch What? No, I don’t hate Chinese people. I love them especially girls. 2) My second picture is about people that hate me for who I am. Honestly, I really don’t give a flying fuck if you hate me. I am the type of a person that is loyal and honest. If you’ve been there for me when I needed you then I’ll be there for you too. Doesn’t matter when, day or night if you been there for me I am the type of a person that’ll be just a phone call away from you and I mean what I say. 3) My third picture is a picture which shows half of my kicks collection. I spend a lot of my money mostly on my footwear. I always end up not wearing them and either I give them away to my friends, people who like them or I just donate them. 4) It doesn’t matter what kind of shit I’ve been through during the week but every Friday nights I go out with my friends and do what I can to keep my mind off my weekly bullshit I go through. 5) My fifth picture is a picture of me and my friends. 6) My sixth picture is a picture of Swing and my seventh picture is a picture of Blue. I know my still young but I really love to drink even though I only drink occasionally. Every year I drink at least one bottle of Blue or Swing, sometimes two. When I grow up and make a lot of money am a buy a tank full of Blue and Swing and I hope I could because these bottles cost anywhere from $200-$500 and its very rare to find it too. 8) My last picture is a picture that means “DO NOT GIVE UP” and I think this picture represents me because I know I am not the best at everything I do but I try my best to be the best at everything I do. Lastly, I Hope this helped you people to know me better. Halla at me sometimes, I don’t Bite.

    (i hope this works bro idk)
    okay first of all there are 12 songs not 10, sorry but you know, personally, I thought it was really difficult to cut two songs. These are some of my favorite songs by my favorite artists. I have a really eclectic music taste (maybe I think so I listen to One Direction and Kid Cudi so yeah…) and this post is pretty late in the game and we’ve all warmed up to each other and I think these songs really represent the kind of person I am. These are songs that I chose to my best ability that represent my personality. We all know I have no shame in my game and that I LOVE Beyonce (hence why I start with the Queen and conclude the playlist with her). What “is” a playlist without a bit of One Direction nowadays? We’ve all jammed out to “What Makes You Beautiful,” don’t lie. I also really like Lana Del Rey, but I thought 13 songs would be pushin’ it
    give it a listen xx
    there’s this song (maybe you can’t find it on iTunes of Spotify) on the playlist, called Headlights. It’s a mashup of Arcade Fire and Wiz Khalifa. If you like it, you might like the rest I can find the download link for you

    The picture that I found pretty much sums up a lot of what I do. The first picture of the books that I found is for how much of these things that I have to keep reading in order to survive in school. If I dont read these books then what am I paying for to go to college. The second picture of the cross is a major part of my life. I have been going to church all my life even since I was born and all up to even this day and I will continue to make this a major piece of who I am. The picture next to it of the desserts is for my HUGE sweet tooth. I will probably go bankrupt at the dentist for all the cavities that I get, but it is definitely worth it because cake and ice cream are my favorites. When I have free time I am open to playing almost any sport. I am a very competitive person and I greatly enjoy the fun nature of playing anything. When I am not outside playing sport I will probably be inside playing Xbox. The types of games that I like to play are racing, basketball (2K13), and sometimes Call of Duty Black Ops. The next picture of the sunset and the beach show that I like to travel. During the summer I like to go anywhere on vacation where I can get away and find a beach. I love New York but I got to get away sometimes. Lastly the sign of success and failure i the main picture behind me. This shows my struggle and what I have to do in order to tip the balance away from me being a failure and trying to get somewhere in life and become a success.

    These are the images that represent things I like, and show who I am. The picture of the playground was the playground I used to play on when I was a little girl. It represents family to me, because it was a time when my family were getting along. The shoes picture represents how unique I believe my personality is. The picture with the twisted looking building represents my life, and how many twists and turns I have experienced throughout my whole life. The picture with the purple moons show my favorite color. The picture with the tattoo shows my first tattoo, luna represents my nickname my family calls me. The picture with the car represents the time I went to a car show with my dad and uncle and met some celebrities there. The picture of the river represents the view of my country house in upstate New York. The picture with the baby is my baby cousin mia who looks just like my grandmother. The picture of the candles represents hope to me. The picture of the puppy shows how much i love dogs, and that is the type of puppy i want to have one day.

  13. I wasn’t able to create a slide show so here is the link to 8 images :
    1) http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinky-anela/4432761661/
    The first one is a food collage I picked this image because I talk to everyone about food a lot and I always offer new places to eat. So I believe people perceive me as a big foodie and what is a big essence of being food. A HUGE COLLAGE OF FOOD.

    2) http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixandahalfstitches/720530890/
    It’s an image of a laughing doll with red hair. I feel I laughed a lot when the school year started and my hair is red so I look quite similar to the red haired doll when I laugh.

    To the few people I have spoke to in class there were times when we discussed God and church which is one of my favorite places. So the cross is a perfect example of what is dear to me and what people may think of me.
    4) http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterlee79/5148187495/
    I have a cherry blossom tattoo that I just got before school started. Several people have seen it so maybe when they will see cherry blossoms they will be reminded of my tattoo.

    I always complain that I am sleepy and super tired and some of my classmates know that I have a cat so this is two representations of me in a more comical way.

  15. This playlist just represents things that are important to me in life and the things that have made me who I am. The songs are in no particular order. They’re just songs that have resignated with me in one way or another.

  21. I wasnt able to create a slideshow so im going to post the links to all 8 pictures

    1)http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiu/4441908380/
    This picture represents to my classmates that I am a big sports fan and especially a Miami Heat fan. I love basketball and I always play and watch it. I always wear Miami Heat jerseys so everyone should know that i support the organization.

    2)http://www.flickr.com/photos/waltzcore/444398470/
    This picture is of a random guy that is talking to a microphone. This represents me to my classmates. I am always very talkative and usually don’t stay quiet for more than a minute. I always have something to say wether its smart, rude or funny

    3)http://www.flickr.com/photos/salah/2148033626/
    This picture represents a map and it shows my classmates that I am a genius in history. History always has come easy to me and I don’t even have to study. I wish I had those powers in math and art history. But my classmates know if they need help in history then I got them.

    4)http://www.flickr.com/photos/iweatherman/5571495408/
    This picture is of good food. My classmates know that I am a good eater and that I am always eating. Everyone comes up to me all the time and the first thing they say is “What we eating ” or ” You want to eat” and my answer is always YES

    5) http://www.flickr.com/photos/eurcynia/4269650300/
    This picture is of a gym. This represents me because my classmates know that I’m physicaly fit 😉 and always up to go to the gym or go play some sort of sport.

    6)http://www.flickr.com/photos/bearpark/2706701983/
    This picture is of an ear. The ear represents me because my classmates know that I am always there for them and I am a good listener. They know they can come to me with anything and I will try to give them some sort of advice after listening to them

    7) http://www.flickr.com/photos/55553482@N04/5225511363/

    This picture represents me because my classmates know that I am a good texter. By saying that I mean that I reply very fast.

  22. Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

    my life is pretty simple to explain
    it consistys of wrestling, cars, friends and ny sports. sports have always been a huge part of my life and they will continue to be that way

  27. http://open.spotify.com/user/1240911409/playlist/3DyOTCquFjWLHsROQitcdA
    Id say this playlist is kind of all over the place but it definitely describes me.
    The first song is this spanish dance song. It’s a lame song but it always makes me so happy because I always dance with my pops to this song and my dad’s pretty much the light of my life.
    The second song is by my favorite band, Fun. I’ve been listening to them since forever and I would always listen to them when I felt shitty, they helped me get through alot
    The third song is by Toro y Moi, this song is just fucking tits.
    The fourth song, THIS SONGGG i love it, its all in spanish and its such a stupid song but I want it played at my wedding, its so crude but such a horribly romantic song. No Hay Nadie Como Tu means there is no one like you
    The fifth song is by my future husband of which i will dance to the previously mentioned song to at our wedding. His name is childish gambino, or donald glover. And im mrs katy glover, nice to meet you.
    The sixth song is just so good. Franky Ocean is my boi
    So is Earl Sweatshirt
    The seventh song is just indescribable for so many reasons. If ya’ll had seen me breaking it down to this song at prom, none of you would have ever talked to me… ever. Oh, i got low, fucking low. twerktwerktwerk
    The eighth song is a weird song. I love it but its weird. Sometimes I’m in just a crazy and weird mood and i listen to this and my brain is like ok i dig it
    I should have put the ninth song last, cause its my all time favorite song ever in the entire world. I was sung the doors as lullabies when i was a baby. Yeah my father is that much of a pimp.
    and lastly, Monkey Makin’. This song is just so good to listen to while walking down the streets in new york city. It’s perfect
