Steven's Meme

This meme is typically making fun of kids who treat college the same as High School. College lets students have more freedom. Missing class or showing up late is not that big of a deal even without a legitimate excuse. If you wanted to miss class in High School, it was frowned upon if you did not show up the next day with a note.

College is very fun for me because there is more time to be independent. It is almost like a recreation center in a way if you take away the classes. Baruch has a ton of activities including diverse clubs, a game room, a pool, and a gym. Most of my mornings are spent going to the gym as a way to stay motivated. Without it, I would be very lazy just like I was during my four years at Bronxville High. It also acts as a way for me to stay out of boredom and build up strength.

Managing my time well has helped my academic work load balance out between my job and having free time. Of course, there is a lot of work compared to senior year of high school, but I am able to work well under pressure and time constraints. Seniors typically slack off once they get accepted into college. Fortunately, when August rolled around, I was able to get back into the zone of having an organized schedule that I could use to get me through the week. Rather than not doing anything at all, I was able to use my organization skills to my advantage as a way of completing school related tasks everyday.

 

 

Steve’s Monologue

Blog Post Two

“BAM”, my hand hit the handball

It ricocheted off the racquetball wall.

Suleman hit it back

That was pretty wack

I tried to make the return

In the end I just got burned

I could not take all the pain

Without winning, what was I to gain

I ran out of the gym

Hoping to never lose again

Hello all, I decided to create a ten song musical playlist on Spotify for Blog Post One. I am going to split this into two paragraphs because the first five songs are what influenced me to start listening to a lot of music and the last five I discovered on my own throughout the years of listening to music everyday.

The first five songs I chose are ones most of us have heard of. A majority of our parents grew up listening to classic rock because of the time period they were born in. Music is huge throughout my entire family. My parents inspired me to have a taste of what they grew up with. Every Sunday when I was younger until today, my Dad would play the stereo on full blast from afternoon until night. I say my Dad and not my Mom because she had a little different taste in music, but none the less no one would complain. The Likes of the Doobie Brothers, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen, and Kiss flowed through my ear drums. As a kid, I would jump around the living room dancing like a maniac. The problem was this would only happen on Sundays because both of my parents worked, and they were too tired after work to start listening to music. The music we listened to would be too energetic to play after a long, tiring, work filled day.  This is when I was determined to get a stereo system in my room. I will never forget the day that happened. My Dad bought himself a new stereo, thus I got his old monster set in my room which would not only play CD’s and Cassettes but also vinyl records. I like to call this the beginning of a beautiful relationship with music because I could listen to it whenever I wanted. I could even ask my parents to get me my own CD’s that my Dad did not have available.

The last five songs I chose I discovered on my own. As I grew older, I would continue to listen to the classics but enjoyed listening to anything that sounded good. I will listen to any genre except Country. Thankfully, the majority of people I have become friends with enjoy the same beats. A typical weekend for me and my friends would be to cruise around with the windows down listening to music on our way to no destination in particular.  Music has made me enjoy the little things in life. I have learned that I can be happy doing anything as long as I have my music with me. Till the day that I die, I will never stop listening to music. It has had too much of an impact on me to just not be there anymore.

About Myself

Getting to Know LC-09

me

Hello fellow classmates of LC 09, my name is Steven Weiner. I was born and raised in Yonkers, New York before moving to Bronxville, New York at the end of the 3rd grade. I hail from Bronxville High School where I took up an interest in writing. Throughout my time at Bronxville, I wrote for a blog I created and the newspaper in my village. I chose Baruch because of its diversity, its writing department, and my personal financial options. My love for writing has driven me to try to major in Sports Journalism or Business Journalism. My hobbies are listening to music, watching Netflix, gaming, reading, and hanging out with friends. When I am at Baruch, I expect to study hard so I could aim my sights at obtaining a 4.0 GPA.
