As the days have gone flying by through this first semester, I have gotten to know 16 great people. As we have each come across our challenges with professors, fellow students, and even each other, there has been a sense alliance, of friendship and understanding. THe blocks that Baruch formed are amazing at bringing students together to better there future. I feel that if I had not been in a Learning Community that I may have folded by now, that I may have succumb to the challenges and pressures of college. My experience has been a good one so far, one of adventure and excitement at every turn. The people, the school, and the city have all lived up to the hype and expectations I had coming into Baruch, actually they exceeded them. The next four maybe five years should and will be amazing. College has been a challenge that I wasn’t expecting. All I can say is: I wasn’t ready for it. (But I am now!)

To be honest this was the worst event I have attended at Baruch. Although the lady that gave the tour was very nice and enthused, I found the paintings and the overall atmosphere of the place to be quite dull. I watched as most of my classmates silently observed and nodded to every word the older woman said, not really listening, rather just waiting out the minutes to check off another requirement of Baruch’s freshman. Overall, the workshop was informative for those who are interested in art, though most students who attend Baruch, like myself, will want to pass on this one.

Dear Professor Trapani,

I am terribly sorry about missing the midterm. Throughout the last few days I have been experiencing flu like symptoms and was told by the doctor to stay home. I was looking forward to taking the midterm as I have studied thoroughly and felt ready. I am willing to reschedule as soon as I am able to come to back to class. I hope you understand my frustrations and I hope we can resolve this quickly.

Sincerely,

Anthony McCann

The playlist I created above is a collection of music that I feel expresses my music taste and also a little bit about me . I listen to a variety of Hip Hop and Rap along with a bit of  Alternative and Classical. I feel a lot can be said by what music a person listens to. The music I listen to often corresponds to my mood. I listen to fast Rap and Hip Hop when I am happy and excited, slow meaningful Rap and Alternative when I am in a gloomy more sad mood, and Classical when I am thinking. My life can be expressed in the music I listen to, and with each new day comes a new song added to my playlist.
