These are the 10 songs that describes me. I like hip hop and rap. I like songs that are meaningful. I like to listen to songs that have good lyrics. I also like songs that have deep bass and good beats. Lol

I don’t think its possible to describe anyone in just 8 pictures, even though people say pictures are worth a thousands words. First off, I would like to say family is very important to me, but not just my biological family, my friends who I consider family. My parents are divorced, and as a result of that I barely know my father; I don’t even know what his real name is! But besides that, my mother and I are not close at all. Since I do not know Chinese, there is a huge language barrier between me and the rest of my family. The only person in my family that I am really close to would be my older brother, Tonny. He basically became the father figure in my life, even though he is only two years older than me. The picture of us on Halloween from over a decade ago just shows how close we were and still how close we are now. The other two pictures are of my boyfriend’s family . I started going out with him when I was 13, and since then, his family has treated me like one of their own. The memories that I have with his family are crazy, fun, but mostly just happy. The follo wing pictures are of my friends and I. Although I may know a lot of people, there are very few people I consider best friends, people I would entrust my life with. One has been with me since I was five years old; another since I was 10 and the other I’ve recently become very close to. I would do anything for these people in my life, and I know, for a fact, they would do the same for me. The next two pictures are of my boyfriend. I’ve been with him for about five and a half years now. As some of you may know, I currently live with him. Although we’re very different people, I could not have imagined my life without him; he has shaped who I am today. In one of the pictures of him, you’ll see a little b**** on his lap. That’s our dog, Nylah. We got her when I first moved in and I cannot imagine not seeing her everyday. I love animals, but the love I have for dogs is incomparable. She’s the nicest, sweetest and stupidest dog you’ll ever meet, but I love her regardless. The last picture in my slide show is of my best friend’s dog napping on my back while I am trying to relax after a long day. I feel like this picture says a lot about me. When I’m not stressing out about school or work, I like to just chill out and lay anywhere and everywhere! It’s kind of funny how her dog, Bentley, did the same. So that’s it, my life in 8 pictures.

The Man – Aloe Blacc

Am I wrong –

Applause – Lady Gaga

Daughters – Nas

New York state of mind – Billy Joel

I chose these songs because I really think that they describe me well. I am very confident and I love attention. I also believe in doing what I think I think is right even though it might not be pragmatic.  When I grow up I want to have a daughter and still want to live in the beautiful city of New York.

The fourth, the 6th, 8th and the 10th just shows that I’m an open-minded person. I’m open to any music and any views. The 5th reflects my Latina side, at home I only speak Spanish and I love spanish music.

10. 3005- childish gambino

I can listen to almost any genre of music, from rap to country. I don’t have a preference. Although it was very hard to pick 10 songs that describe me I tried my best to pick songs that I liked and showed my personality. Some of these songs (like vivir mi vida and el cantante) are my  favorite songs because they describe my personality and remind me of my heritage. I love listening to childish gambino because the way he manipulates words is amazing and he has a true talent. Some of these songs are my all time favorites and will never get old no matter how many times I listen to them.

Dear consumer, greetings. I begin, as it seems we all do, by speaking only of myself. And yet, in face of a such a simple topic- and one on which I’m rather well informed- I hesitate. Were I to sit here and explain myself away- whether by the likes of Dickens or of by Freud- would it be a sufficient summary? Would my person be any more than just a listing of the facts? Would there be any understanding, any emotion, any experience conveyed?

I fear not. And so, in this first post, this preliminary introduction, I turn not to words but to images as to show myself. Now, it’d be easy, and cheap, of me to say something like “An image is worth a thousand words”- it’s apples to oranges- I won’t do that to you, my dear consumer.

Instead, I offer these images up not for the nature of their content, but for the intent within them. Each image was, and is, a choice; I offer up not images of my life, but photos I have taken of my life: images of how I’ve chosen to look at my life- my perspective, which lens I chose to look through, so to speak. In the meantime, for your considerations:

This is a 10 song playlist of some music I listen to.  It was difficult for me to pick 10 songs that I feel describe myself but these are songs that I enjoy listening to.  I listen to different music depending on what type of mood I am in and get different vibes from all of these songs.  I enjoy a wide variety of music.  Each one of these songs are unique in their own way and I enjoy listening to during different activities.

8 pictures that describe me

The first thing that makes me who i am is simply the barbell, i live by it. Working out helped me get to know myself and it is a way for me to get out of my comfort zone.The pain is pleasurable and it helps me get to my physical ideal.My main goal in life is to be happy and to get to that point i need to go after my dreams but fears seem to always be getting in my way so i go after them because they are just in my head.As human beings we have mental barriers that we created ourselves and destroying those walls is priority for me to be able to reach my goals and become the person i want to be.

I do love women and i don’t think there is that much to say about that. I also love to travel. Up to this point i have lived in three different countries for long period of times and it is always great to have friends all around he world, to see different cultures, learn new languages,different foods and many other things associated to that one culture  and i wish to keep doing it because it is a really enriching experience.

There’s many different photos that can describe who I am and choosing only 8 was difficult. my first photo is Long Island. I was born and raised on Long Island and it was a wonderful place to grow up. After spending 18 years there it was time for a change and this is why I chose to study at Baruch. My next photo is a picture of NYC. The amount of opportunities that await me in the city in unbelievable. I can’t wait to explore and spend the next 4 years of my life in my new home of NYC.  MY next photo is a picture of the beach. If I could spend hours on the beach everyday I would. I love long island beaches but nothing compares to vacations to tropical island. MY family calls me a beach bum, and I have to agree with them on that one. My next photo is a photo of my high school. I know i only spent 3 years here, but I made so many memories and friends that I will never forget and keep in touch with my whole life. My high school years is what made me who I am today, and even though I graduated, Ward Melville will always be apart of me. Family is very important to me, I have one brother who can be one of the most annoying humans to walk the earth but I love him. My next photo is Netflix. I don’t remember the last time i watch a live TV show, me and my friends watch Netflix all the time and its become apart of my daily routine everyday so I decided it was appropriate. I played field hockey for 5 years and loved every minute of it. Although it was hard work, I do miss the intense practices and thrilling games. My last photo is country music. Although I’m a fan of many different music genres, country is one of my favorites. I can relate to so many songs and I love so many different artists. Overall these 8 photos are a good representation of who I am, and the daily life of Jocelynne Rickey.
