Have you ever contemplated the existence of someone what looks just like you but is evil?

Have you ever thought about the gravity that holds you to the Earth?

Have you ever wondered if your life is actually a TV show that is being broadcasted throughout the world?  How awesome would that be?!  And I don’t mean one of those lame ass TV shows on NBC that last all of one season before they are cancelled, I’m talking a phenomenal show that gets its deserved six seasons and a movie (and if you understand that reference we should totally hang out).

Sometimes this idea occurs to me as I’m walking through the subway and I take a bow.  I seriously hope this confuses everyone who’s watching and makes them ask themselves if I actually do know it’s a show.  But if your life is a TV show than what channel would it air on and what would be the premise?  Honestly if my life is a show I hope it’s not constantly playing reruns that annoy viewers.  If I could choose I wish it could air on Animal Planet, not because it contains many animals but because the narrations on those shows are amazing.  Morgan Freeman, Morgan Freeman could narrate it! Oh no, no, no!!! Samuel L Jackson! You know what?! Forget both Morgan Freeman and Samuel L Jackson, Ron Howard! He narratored Arrested Development and that would be plain awesome! By the way that show is coming back and it is going to be the best thing since the second coming of Christ.
Though the narration could also prove rather annoying, so A&E.  I would have the show formatted like Intervention, not because I’m addicted to anything but because the captions in between my actions could prove to be useful and interesting, a lesser annoyance than narrations.  But who doesn’t become a little upset when watching Intervention?  My show wouldn’t be depressing.

I would love to say Nickelodeon or cartoon network and tune in every Saturday morning to watch yet again another problem my cartoon self can get into! In cartoons your character can do anything and with sound effects it is really quite amusing.  But my real life is not a cartoon, obviously, so I fail to see how my life could be accurately expressed… life as a cartoon sounds amazing now that I think about it…

My TV is usually isolated to comedy central and while I wish I could occupy the same wave frequency of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, I find I am not nearly witty enough and nor do I want to share the same air as Daniel Tosh.

History channel? One word: aliens.

PBS I find to be very informative and helpful, I am neither and I wish not to be.  (Anyone remember the Arthur theme?! LOVE IT!)

But where does this leave me?  Most likely I would end up on MTV, not in one of those shitty reality TV shows and God do I hate Jersey Shore, but more like one of those shows about awkward teenagers, I hate those too but that’s my life.  Also, I’d be on a station with Amir Blumenfeld and honestly that’s all I need out of life.  I love him.  No seriously, he’s my idol.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say so tune in next time, same fro time, same fro place.

Who are you?  Doesn’t seem like it should be a difficult question, but when it is asked I am left pondering its exact meaning. Am I a sum of my life experiences? My social security number? Or am I more? Well, as simple as I can make it is: I am Brianna Todd, a student at Baruch, a friend to some, a best friend to others, a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a human on Earth, a writer of a blog.  I am kind when I want to be, I am rude when it’s needed, mostly I’m apathetic and sarcastic, obviously.  I’m a Virgo, hate long walks on the beach, and the beach all together in fact; I like food, and the color blue.  This is just a small part of who I am but it’s the best I can do, and want to do in a public forum.

It is difficult addressing my concerns for the upcoming year at Baruch College because I have none. The prompt on which this is based consists of many logical fallacies, mainly because the question asks you to name your “top 3 concerns about your freshman year at Baruch College and [to] explain [those concerns].” This doesn’t allow room for someone who has none, hence, fallacy.  I suppose I now am forced to be concerned about whether this response will earn me a failing mark, but as Freshman Seminar is only a pass fail course and I have completed the assignment… I digress.

So far I have yet to notice any difference from high school to Baruch, besides the price of course. Coming to college I expected to have a little more fun, perhaps a party or two but that has yet to happen, the dorms aren’t that exciting either. Other than that, due to freshman block, I see the same people all day every day, and not that I don’t like these people, I do, I just figure for such a populated college in the city I should be exposed to a little more diversity, however I am going around with the same group of people as I had in AP courses in high school.  Oh, but I forgot, the commute is different as well, I now take a train instead of a bus.

How do I believe college will change me?  Apparently I’ll be able to tell the future and answer this question.  I have yet to develop that special ability yet, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.  Who knows perhaps my contempt for writing a blog will disintegrate.
