I went to a Marketers of Baruch Movie Night.Not many people showed up but they also didn’t bring that much food so i guess there weren’t expecting very many people. I met my old pal tyler there and he had a Mob shirt on so i guess he joined. The movie we watched was Zombieland. I don’t know why it was Zombieland because the movie is kinda old. It was funny in a cheesy way.
Here’s a scene where bill murray dies.
The moma was also pretty cool. I liked it a lot. It’s a different vibe the the MET because it is more contemporary art, similar to David Zwirnir, but I liked it a lot. I think this is my favorite museum because a lot of the art was more modern (hence museum of modern art) as oppose to more traditional art that was in the MET. The MET was definitely more historical than the MOMA. As a whole I really liked the MOMA. This exhibit was really cool. That other girl is my cousin Alex. She’s from LA and she’s never been to the MOMA so we went and took cute pictures. This room was cool cause it was all projector stuff. I felt like I was underwater in the movie. Cool stuff. Definitely visit the MOMA if you haven’t already. 🙂
So the David Zwirnir exhibit was one of the coolest exhibits I have been to so far, also the most artsy! There were three different rooms. One was a room that was all mirrors everything. There were mirror balls hanging from the ceiling, every wall was a mirror; you could definitely see every angle of your body without turning around and looking behind you. The next room was a semi-interactive room. You would pop your head into a hole and there would be lights flashing of different colors and mirrors surrounding the lights. The last room was a white room with red polka dots everywhere. The room kind of reminded me of alive in wonderland. A white room with red polka dots. Pretty cool. I highly recommend you visit this exhibit. I did wait an hour on line in the cold, but other than that the rest of the experience was amazing.
The museum gave me an opportunity to complete an extra credit assignment for my History class. The vast amount of history inside the museum was astonishing. It’s interesting to thing that a single picture or statue completely embodies another time period. The museum served as a learning experience as well because the panels displayed along with the art were very informative. I am grateful for the opportunity to explore such an amazing place. One of the things I found was a piece of propaganda. It’s interesting to see the parallel of what propaganda was back then and how advertising, basically our generations “propaganda”, is now. It’s so positive to have a place to enrich in American and world history in the heart of the city, for people who visit to delve into. I enjoyed myself more than I expected and could really stare at those pictures all day. Each one had its own swag. I won’t take for granted all of the attractions our city has to offer for learning.
I’ve never been to the METÂ before so going for the first time was really cool. I saw a bunch of cool exhibits. One was the WWI exhibit. I saw some really cool pictures of soldiers and people in uniform. Also part of the museum they had rodin at the met, michelangelo, and edvard munch. I did not know much about most of the artists, but reading the biographies next to their paintings gave me a little idea of what kind of individuals they are. Also, i noticed that different artists have various styles. I thought that was really cool. After going to the met I have been inspired to take an art class and art history class. I feel like a changed person after the MET. I suggest whoever reads this goes and looks at the wonderful paintings and sculptures these amazing people have brought into our lives.
My friends and I went to the Majors and Minor fair to get an idea of what field we want to do when we choose our careers and such. We always have conversations about what we want to major in/ what we find interesting but going to the major and minor fair cut it down to a few majors that I am considering (even though i am still undecided). I definitely want to do something with sociology/anthropology so it was very informal looking at what classes those departments offered. The major and minor fair also opened my eyes to majors that I was not aware of/ had no ideas what classes they offered. Overall this was very helpful and I intend on using information I found in this fair to help make my decision! 
My friends and I went to the Met for a history extra credit assignment. It was very fun and a good experience because we got to do a typical New Yorker thing and we also got to know each other better. The Met is very big and super confusing. We got lost for half an hour and had to ask five people where the exhibit we came for was. After we viewed the exhibit for our history project we explored and saw other exhibits. They were all very beautiful and interesting. After that my friends and I got food and we walked around the city!
I went to the Majors and Minors fair whenever that happened and I learned that my major requires me to double minor and that’s a lot of work. I also learned that I need to know a secondary language and I have to do a semester abroad, so that’s a lot of money right there as well. I know I am good with number and I want to pursue that, but I do not know if my parents will let me, since they are the ones that are paying for my college tuition. I hope everything will sort itself out and I will do whatever I want in the future.
I went to Baruch voices to see the man that talks about popeyes. While there, there were many other stories being told that had various ranges of seriousness. There was one black woman that talked about how she was stereotyped based on her appearance so people thought she was stupid but it turns out shes not stupid. There another guy who had this story about his doing drugs and rehabilitating but at the end he said it was all a lie. Last thing i remember is some guy made up a rap about his views on things and then ended it with that hes pro life. All in all, I see that that this event was just to share whatever is on your mind.

I went the MoMA because I missed going there for museum reports (for some reason). I forgot I couldn’t go in for free anymore so that made me frustrated. I should’ve shown them my student ID or something. It was the usual stuff—weird modern artworks along with a few classics, like the Starry Night and some Basquiat pieces. Still, it was cool to see the different techniques used in the installations, however provocative they may be. Overall it was an interesting experience.
