I chose this picture to represent my experience at Baruch thus far because I have a struggle waking up in the morning for school. Attempting to wake up at 6am almost everyday is work. It’s beyond difficult, especially considering the fact that I sleep around one to two. In the mornings, a lot of times I don’t hear the alarm go off or I continuously click the snooze button. Hearing the alarm in the morning is so dreadful. Even after my alarm goes off, I sit on my bed for longer than enough time trying to work up the energy to start getting ready for school. Because I’m so tired in the morning, I knock out on the bus, usually all the way to Flushing or Grand Central. Sometimes, I wake up right before my stop. But when I’m not so lucky, I end up going past my stop and then having to go back. The cold weather doesn’t help either. To step out of the house and have that cold air hit my face, it makes my mornings worse. The cold wind does help me wake up, but to have to stand at the bus stop, freezing, waiting for my bus to come, while barely having the energy to stand up, it isn’t fun. But still I somehow end up managing to get to school everyday. And when I get home, I’m usually exhausted, so I would always tell myself that I’m going straight to bed after my homework. But I never do. I always find myself awake past 12 o’clock. Then the next day I have to repeat the whole process over. It is partly my fault for not getting enough sleep, so it takes me so long to get up. But then again, I do have to wake up extremely early, only to look forward for a long commute to school.

You were as solid as ice

I thought

My best friend

My other half

My partner in crime

From day one

We were friends

We had a connection

We understood each other like no other

We were inseparable

Until one day

Things ultimately fell apart

Our hearts

Our emotions

Our connection

Us

I decided to walk away

With you engraved

In the back of my mind

In the bottom of my heart

Forever holding a piece of me

Sometimes I think of us as

A lesson

A chance

An experience

So maybe, you weren’t so bad after all.

Based on the title of millions of songs, I was able to choose ten songs that represent who I think I am to my classmates. I chose the song Loyal by Chris Brown and Real Girl by Stevie Hoang because I think I am a faithful and trustworthy person. I’m not someone who goes around telling other peoples secrets to other people, but I am someone who respects others privacy and personal information. The song Innocent by Taylor Swift is another song that describes me. This song describes me because I look younger than my age and I don’t cause any trouble or create any type of distraction in class. I chose the song Work by Iggy Azalea and Quiet by Jason Mraz because I think my classmates see me as a quiet student who does her work. In class, I am not someone who is constantly participating or talking. As well as being a quiet student, I am also a very happy person who smiles and or laughs a lot. Smile by Uncle Kracker and Happy by Pharrel William are two songs that describe my cheerful self. Another song I chose was U Smile by Justin Bieber because I have the tendency to smile or laugh whenever someone else does. Rather than being someone who is always upset or mad, and because I am someone who is constantly smiling or laughing, the song Bundle of Joy by Bei Maejor represents who I think I am to my classmates. The last song I chose was Miss Independent by Neyo. I chose this song because I don’t really rely on anyone. I don’t rely on someone to help me do this or that. I also chose this song because I am capable of taking care of myself and I do not need my parents to continuously guide me through everything. These are the song that I chose that I think represents me to my classmates. Overall, I think I am a pretty nice, happy, and dependable person to my classmates.
