NO-CARD

My First Semester at Baruch

I have chosen this image because it depicts who I feel like and what Baruch means to me. If you’ve seen Suits you know on the left is Harvey Specter and on the right is Mike Ross. Baruch is my Harvey, it will always be there for me, it is my mentor. And I am Mike Ross, a young kid in a new place with a pretty good memory( as people in the LC might have realized by now)

The first few months of college have been interesting. I was lucky enough to be part of an LC, I was a part of something from the beginning. Even still it was weird at first, I walked into a room of strangers at convocation, there was only one person I already knew, not too well may I add. So I’m surrounded by these new people and then Prof. Davis scares the crap out of us all. Before he spoke I was looking forward to psych, after he spoke I was dreading the first class. Little did I know I was actually good at it and he was a really good prof. Then came meeting everybody, clicks formed immediately. None of them really mingling with the others. After a little while though people began to talk and had a few things in common. Like a mutual dislike of a prof. We all learned about each other and began to build relationships that not every college freshman gets to make. As an individual there are certain things I struggle with. Such as History. This is the umtheenth I’m hearing about slavery and World War 2 and I wasn’t even interested in it the first time around. As for English I finally managed to write a paper worthy of an A so there is hope there. Psych and Math are going fine, I understand what it going on and enjoy those classes. What’s next? Who knows…

Enrichment Workshop

The museum itself was quite boring. The lady speaking dragged on trying to be interesting and looked kind of uncomfortable. Most of the images looked as if they were taken from the forgotten pages of textbooks begging for their 15 seconds of fame. One photograph did catch my attention however. A photograph by Larry Fink. I learned more when I went home and researched Mr. Fink then in the hour spent in the workshop.  The way he catches moments at parties and social events in black and white really opened my eyes. It shows how there are two sides to everything. The side which is obvious to everyone, the skin deep meaning, and the meaning you have to look for, how each moment is precious and can make or break the moment following it. That one must seize not the day, but each moment and make the best of it all.

Homework Confusion, Carlos Schmidt

Professor Trapani,

I am currently working on the homework assignment and the answers I come up with just do not make sense. I have referred to my notes and the textbook but the exercise is still unclear to me despite my efforts. I was wondering when would be a good time to stop by your office for you to look over my work and explain where I am going wrong, thank you for your time.

Spotify playlist

Spotify Playlist

 

This playlist is full of songs that show that not everything as it seems, just like me. These songs take different spins on the Bible “Beast and the Harlot”, views on life and possession “Between Angels and Insects”, and decisions you make “Crossroads”. One song “Born With Nothing, Die With Everything” I actually have tattooed on me. You come into the world with nothing but a name and the goal is to leave with a legacy. In the end I am not as I appear “Smoke and Mirrors”, I have a sensitive side, “Dear God”, I believe that we “buy things we don’t need, with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like” -Chuck Palahniuk, Fight club, and the “the things we own, own us” -Chuck Palahniuk, Papa Roach, “Between Angels and Insects”. I believe we “Get Away With Murder” because people only look and things and don’t actually see it for what it is, “Stop Looking Start Seeing”.  Although you’d like to believe everything is as it seems to be, not everything is nice and easy “Where Did the Angels Go”, sometimes you have to dig deep, come back to reality and realize your missing the forest for the trees.
