I went to a SACC tutoring session at 7:00 pm because I’m reckless with my health. Most the most part it was helpful; we (like a group of 4 students) got to pick problems out of test samples and reviewed them. My tutor was really fun and quirky which made the experience better. My main complaint is that we couldn’t go over some problems due to time constraints and I wish SACC offered one on one tutoring for math. However, I will still utilize this service as it did help me prepare for my exam.
Arden Everywhere
For the third blog post for the freshman seminar class and for a theatre homework, I went and watched the play Arden Everywhere/the As You Like It project which was a modernized remake of Shakespeare’s play As You Like It with my friends. The show was performed at the Baruch Performing Arts Center, and it was about the refugee crisis. It was a really interesting play that showed refugees in a new light. With actual immigrants in the play that told their own individual stories about their personal experiences as a refugee, it was really informative, thought provoking and relatable.
Career – Blog Post
Like most people do, I was walking through the second floor and saw a NYPD Cadet Corps sign up station. So I walked over and started talking to the officer. I was interested in it because it was paying almost $15 an hour, which to right now would be good. He told me all about and that I was able to work at police departments that were nearby home or I can pick any of the available ones that are most convenient. That was also a bonus on my part, to be close to work from home would be fantastic. Plus they assist you with tuition, which is the best part of all . But unfortunately I need 30 credits, and I’m not even halfway there yet. But next year I will be sure to sign up and possibly start my new job that will help me out with achieving my future career one day

Blog Post 3
For my final blog post, I decided to show up at the Start up Tech fair. As I entered the room, there were many companies looking at resumes and trying to get kids to intern at their company. I decided to look around and maybe find a company that I enjoyed. However, I did not. The Q and A that took place during the event was extremely informative and allowed me to understand the daily lives of these people. They did serve free sandwiches which made the fair much better. All in all, the tech fair was a good attempt for me to expand my horizons even though I did not enjoy it.
Hip Hop 201 (Student Life)
I attended a meeting for the Hip Hop 201 club. It was pretty enlightening to see how relaxed and open everyone was. We basically discussed music the whole time and I asked them some questions a freshman would ask. Most of them had a super crazy love for Travis Scott which was awkward because it seemed like all of them liked Travis Scott and were fighting over who likes him more for the majority of the time. It was a great time for me to just unwind and not worry about any tensions of school while I was in school. That’s pretty marvelous to be able to calm your mind and be around other students and not have to think or worry about school or education. They were all very passionate about music and made music themselves which was awesome. I forgot to mention that music was playing the entire time. We also reviewed new music and albums and had what you would call a listening session. We bounced ideas off each other and talked about which artists were coming up in the industry and what the industry is shaping into becoming. I was surprised to see how versatile everyones musical choices were once we finished our 30 minute conversation about Travis Scott. I mean Scott is pretty great but there are a lot of artists out there with originality that are worthy of recognition. We also spoke about upcoming concerts and which event we’d spend our hard earned cash on, or in some our cases, our parent’s cash. This event eased me into feeling comfortable around this new student environment and I felt like a normal student again. The students at the club were all very kind and really just made me feel welcomed. They accepted me and all my opinions and we were able to have good discussions. 
gift of life
There was an event on the second floor for Gift of life. It’s purpose to get some of your DNA and see if it matches with patients, and if it does match, you will be able to donate blood to help save the patients life. I signed up for it, gave my info, and swabbed inside my mouth. There was a final step in signing up online so that they can actually use your DNA/Info, but I didn’t sign up online because what if I actually had to donate? Sounds scary. I can’t risk anything that will affect my health. FACTS.
The International Dimensions of a Slave Ship Revolt
On November 15, 2017 I attended a lecture held by Professor Jeffrey Kerr-Ritchie who teaches at Howard University. I attended the lecture because my history professor is offering extra credit for anyone who attends so I figured might as well use this opportunity to write a blog post as well. The lecture was in Room 14-270 which I had a lot of trouble finding because I didn’t even know there were 14 floors in Baruch. The lecture was about an hour and a half long, but it was really interesting to look at the documents he presented and listen to how he interpreted them. Luckily I went with Daniella so I wasn’t there alone. If I was I definitely would’ve fell asleep listening to the lecture. Luckily I made it through the lecture and hopefully I can get some extra points added to my history grade.
Career/ last final blog
This event was so influential that I think I may have to drop out of college because my philosophy class taught me I should devote my life to others. At this event I had to put cotton swabs into my mouth and move it back and forth in the cheek area. The girl who persuaded me to become a humanitarian was pretty, I think that’s what made me do it. She told me I can save a life if my saliva matches with someone out there who is suffering from cancer or some sort of disease. They would contact me so I can donate either blood or bone marrow to that person. I donated a dollar as well to the fund. This is a new career choice for me, I will become an altruistic person and become dead broke. Join me on this journey.
Museum of Natural History
Sikh Club
- I got hooked up with a Samosa from my friend in the Sikh club. Unfortunately it was not free. I had to pay $2 for the samosa but it was delicious. Such an exquisite taste. I tasted pepper, potatoes, I think peas and something else. The $2 I spent on it was going to donations for the home less. They had a lot of different foods there that were of Indian culture. Loud music and people were dancing, I would’ve danced but I had to get to work. Everyone was friendly which made me actually want to buy their food. I like food.
