Hi everyone,
My name is Connor Rowland! Exclamation point because I’m excited about life. If I could describe myself in a few words I would say I’m sarcastic (just a hint in that second sentence), analytical, and independent. I like to joke around often, but at the same time I always have goals and dreams in mind that I try and work towards every day. I’m excited to get to know you all in the coming semester, and must say I’m pretty content with the fact that we have all of the same classes together. While it may be great to branch out to all sorts of people, it’s nice to see the same few faces every day.
A few songs to describe who I am:
Coming Of Age- Foster the People
I feel that this song kind of represents who I am in the position that I’m in right now. I feel like I grow more and more every day, especially since coming to Baruch.
Listzomania- Phoenix
This song doesn’t really represent much about me as a person other than it being really fun to dance to. And I enjoy dancing so I guess it works.
Candles in the Sun- Miguel
A lot of this song’s lyrics point out what’s still wrong with today’s society and racial discrimination. This song is important to me because I feel that all of us are equal as individuals and we should be treated as such. Equality is one of my central beliefs.
Super Rich Kids- Frank Ocean
I think this song is important to me because it represents my definition of success. The song describes the life of a kid who has everything and is still unhappy. I feel that many people allow money to reign over their core values and beliefs which makes them ultimately unhappy.
Why Even Try- Theophilus London
This song represents the difficulty it can be to sometimes pull myself out of a rut or bad habit like being lazy or not doing work. I also think it’s a bit sarcastic.
Wake Up- Arcade Fire
This song just gets me excited for whatever I need to be excited for. It puts me In the mood to get things done and wake up (ha).
Suite for Solo Cello- Bach
I tend to make my life very regimented and organized, like this piece.
Stuphin Boulevard- Blood Orange
This reminds me of one of my best friends, and our shared love for NYC.
When I’m With You- Best Coast
I think everyone has someone in their life who no matter what, you can always have fun with. This song has only a few lyrics, some of which read, “The world is crazy… But when I’m with you I have fun.”
In My Place- Coldplay
Finally, I feel that after moving to NYC, I’m where I’m supposed to be. I’ve been looking forward to moving here for years and it makes me so happy to be here every day.
