Fro resonated in me in a personal way for many reasons. I was able to form closer relationships with most of the people in all of my classes. This was because of the LC in that we have all of the same classes, mostly that is. The actual Freshman Seminar class was enjoyable and enriching s well because I was able to be in a classroom setting, but not engage in typical classroom discussion. It was sort of boring but nice at the same time. Thank you Damaris for putting in so much effort on this class. Thank you Naomi for being an instructor, as well as a friend. Peace.

This man describes my experience at Baruch perfectly. As you see his face muscles are doing work on his smile. A smile is what truly describes my past few months at Baruch. I’ve had a great time meeting a great group of people.

So as you know, We are Basil and Cheese. We meaning, me, Nick, David, and Basilio. Our link is attached above for our site. It was very easy to pick the topic of food. It is a beautiful thing that humans have the ability to enjoy food so much. We are so blessed that we are able to indulge ourselves in new flavors from new cultures every day. So what better to talk about then food, right? The article I chose really touched me when I read it. It discusses the issue of  Congress wanting to allocate less funds to Food Stamp programs. Low income residents of New York City already have a hard enough time putting food on their plate, why make it significantly worse.

Hello fellow LC11 classmates. My approach on this assignment was auditory, as I love utilizing my ears for pleasing sounds like music and such. The playlist I created, which I named: Jake’s Inspirational Tunes, speaks in the same way that I do, and I feel it adequately represents who I am. Each song represents a characteristic of mine, and I am excited to share these inner characteristics with my homies at LC11. Below is a list of each song, which is playable in the link I attached. Enjoy.

Apartment Story by: The National: This one is pretty basic. I was born in a suburban household and lived in one my whole life. My life story until now was at home. Currently my life story is an apartment story. And as time passes the story will continue to develop.

Blessed ft. Kendrick Lamar by Schoolboy Q: I am a very spiritual person. I cherish every day that I live, and I look forward to the next. I feel blessed in every aspect of my life, and I am proud that I can say that.

Byegone by: Volcano Choir: Most people don’t know what this word means, but it means “belonging to an earlier time.” I am jewish, and we follow customs and traditions that have been observed for thousands of years by other jews. In that aspect, many of the things that I do are byegone.

Daily Routine by: Joy Bada$$: Organization is always one of my top priorities, and to that respect my daily routine is very organized. I like having a plan going into my day, as I feel that can lead to the most enjoyable day.

Fashion Killa by: A$AP ROCKY: This one is also pretty simple, I’m a straight up Fashion Killa!

Fidelity by: Regina Spektor: Fidelity means faithfulness, and expressing loyalty and support to a cause. I return favors by expressing my loyalty to someone  for what they have done, and from that point I will be forever faithful to that person.

For Body and Kenzie by: Teen Daze: This one was not on the music site, so I have a link attached at the end of this section. This song doesn’t have any inner meaning, it is just spontaneous and fun, just like me. If you listen to any songs, listen to this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2DYofn3MbQ

Keel by: Volcano Choir: This artist loves weird worded songs. A keel is the foundation of a boat. In the ocean a boat need a strong foundation to support it through the rough waters. This foundation allows it to get from point A to point B. Because of my supportive foundation, which has developed over the past few years through my experiences, allows me to get from day A to day B, and beyond.

Luck of Mine by: Bishop Allen: As I said before, I cherish everyday, and that is because I feel lucky. This luck of mine not just gets me through time, but gets me through it enjoyably.

DNA by: Danny Brown: This song finishes off this playlist well. I am who I am and I will do everything in my power to improve myself, but some things are just meant to be. People need to think about what they have and not what they don’t have. All of us are different, quite different actually, and we all need to embrace and take advantage of those unique traits of ours.
