The gif that explains my life at baruch is linked here:

Food in the city is so. Expensive. Who buys a salad for 10+? In Queens you can get kebabs for 1.25 and 4 breads for 1.50. For 1.25 you can also have a whole bowl of noodles. So, why am I paying 10+ for two pieces of vegetables at chop’t?  99999999999 dollars for coffee or fail your class? & $1 pizza is good only twice a week max.

My baruch experience has been great so far. I just wish there were better food options so I don’t have to feel guilty picking health>money.

One of my friends scarred me for life. Emotionally, and almost, physically. It’s been a year since the event, and everyday, I am still very, very, affected by it.

Just a little over a year ago, I would pass around my soda with a group of 10 people and still sip on it very comfortably. Now, I do not even touch anything that someone has placed their mouth on. We live in New York, a coffee is like $99 dollars , but never again will I share a drink that has the potential of affecting the rest of my life.

One year ago, my friend with a cold sore history asked to drink my water. I gave it to her, and proceeded to drink it afterwards.

Soon after, I feel a weird bump near my mouth.

Crying on the public van, I realized: Life is over, this is it. Once cold sores KO’s you, it will forever claim you.

Good thing life is filled with second chances; because as it turns out, it was just a pimple. It went away the very next day!!!

I am Herpe-free, and really really hope to be for the rest of my life. Though we all know, it’s always the most careful ones…..

Wish me luck, xx
