This painting above, reminds me of baruch because that is what I end up doing when I have free time.  I feel comfortable here. The independence and solitude is quite refresing. I think the social circle here at baruch is next to nothing. Who could blame the students ? The workload must be a great deal, and thus students here tend to be compeitive. The first few months here were normal, it could be better. I blame no one but myself for this. I know change is difficult but if it is something I learned here, it would be that one should learn to be happy with their company.

I loved all the workshops that we attended in Freshmen Seminar class. It opened my eyes, to whole new level. The workshop That I enjoyed the most was the last one. When the all the freshmen decided had to attend the monologue readings. I really liked the actors on the stage, they brought these monologues to life. I really liked the funny Monologue about bacon. It made me happy. I realized that maybe baruch might not be that much of pretentious school as I had thought originally. I decided that I might join the the performing arts center, if I manage to pass. I am in no way close to talented as those actors that performed, however they inspired me to be more like them. I think I won’t hesistate be my wierd self, who cares if I scare people ? I will find others like me .

Hi I am Halima; I feel that one of the hardest things is, writing about oneself. I like to think I am a simple person. I enjoy reading, and listening to music during my free time. I like having dreams, I like to make lists of things to do, and when I get them done I like to cross them off. I prefer the rain to sunshine, only because I tan very easily. I have two younger siblings so, yes I have responsibilities too. I believe in friendship, and love. I respect vegans but I still love meat. I prefer helpful criticism to sugarcoated words. I like arguing about the most menial things, but I hate arguing when it is serious.

I believe that everyone has a strong point, for me it is art. When I draw or sculpt, I feel as if I am accomplishing something. I feel happy and sometimes frustrated when I get an artist block. For now I am still figuring myself out, I really don’t know what field I will be going into here, so for now I am taking one day at a time.

I usually don’t like to share my music, but for this assignment I will. I love music, I have a very artistic family so I grew up surrounded by many art forms. Its hard to put my choice of music into a single category or genre, mostly  because I listen to songs from many different cultures. I love to listen songs from other cultures like France, Germany, India, Korea, Japan etc. I just love to learn languages. I guess I listen to songs based on my  mood. I guess people would describe me as ‘cultured’? Its very hard to discern what people think of you.
