My semester was quite an experience. I am absolutely loving it here at Baruch. The food is great and so are the people. Both of these are two important factors i hold dear to me. Furthermore, Baruch has offered quite a number of challenges. Including; calculus,philosophy, and speech communications. I mostly enjoyed Math because i have a deep respect and passion for how it relates to everything. My biggest accomplishment this semester was making friends and socializing. I joined several clubs including rotaract and Finance/economics club. In addition, my commute has become significantly less stressful. Looking forward to holidays and most of all the fun and exciting challenges next semester!

I commute from a small town called Floral Park in Nassau County Long Island. I love my town but sometimes in order to get what you want you have to leave your comfort zone. It takes about 45 minutes to get to Baruch. I wake up around 8 AM. I eat breakfast and get ready for the train ride. Once I’m on the train I meet up with a friend who also goes to Baruch. When my train arrives at Penn I usually get breakfast.  Usually, a Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich on a toasted roll. I got to Calculus class which is at 10:20 AM followed by English then FRO on Wednesdays only. I love Baruch so far and I intend to major in Finance in the Zicklin School of Business.  Although my commute is a bit of a struggle both financially and physically I still find ways to find happiness such as listening to music through Spotify.

Hey guys I am Mike Guarini! This is my slideshow that describes who I am to you guys. The first picture is my sister, one of my favorite people in the world! We are extremely close and I love her dearly. The next picture describes one of my hobbies. I enjoy golfing and mini golfing a whole lot and frequently go to the driving range and my goal is to see the US Open for golf next year. The next picture is from a video game called Halo. I love all types of video games and grew up with them as a source of entertainment. The next picture is the beach. Something about the water has always called to me and I never have a boring time at the beach. I hope to take up surfing as a hobby one day. The 5th picture describes another one of my hobbies. Tennis has always been special to me because me and father play all the time and bond over it. The next picture is my parakeet named tweedy. This is the only pet I have ever owned and I love him to death. The 7th picture is of the snow. I hate the snow and the accompanying weather. When I was a kid it was an enjoyable time but now it just means a lot of neighborhood shoveling and freezing train rides. The 8th and final picture is of my 3 best friends growing up in High School. That is a picture of us in Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. This was my last trip out-of-state since starting college. Thanks for reading and watching!
