Our group decided to do the NY Times project based on food that can be found around Baruch College. As first semester freshmen it is imperative that we know where to go for a quick snack or a decent lunch. Although it may sound unimportant, knowing where to eat and making sure that we, as students, eat properly is much more significant than other academic responsibilities. No food during class and a growling stomach is the worst possible combination since our attention is now shifted from class to food. Not knowing where to eat can easily lead a student to going to the same place for the same , sometimes very unhealthy, food. We all know the famous “Freshman 15” is out to get us, however,by knowing where to go, or where not to go, we can easily avoid this frustrating freshman plague. As the years go on, eventually Baruch students will learn the tricks of the school and how to get around, however, for us freshman, many of which have never been to school in the city or are from out of town, it is crucial that we know how to get around, even if its something as simple as lunch. My role in this project was to find an article based on one of the many restaurants near campus and discuss it as well as complete the Bearcat post. Initially, I believed that the Bearcat post was going to be the most difficult, and it was, however, Baruch’s Magazine made it very easy for me to find out about East20sEats.com which proved to be sufficiently related to Baruch that it could be used as the Bearcat post.
