Life at Baruch is like being inside a Jungle
Full of people
From all walks of life
From a family Full of Chen’s (Janice, Katherine, David, Yun-Yun, Vincent)
To Gym Guru’s
To A Computer Genius
To A Fashion Model
To Future Leaders and Friends
Baruch is exactly what I pictured, a diverse group of personalities
Meshed together for some odd reason
That’s Baruch’s student body in a nutshell
Life at Baruch is full of freedom and opportunity
From the Clubs
To The Jobs
The Possibilities Are Infinite
From my days researching at BCTC
To the long lines at the Library
Lifting Heavy Boxes in my job at the Office of Testing and Evaluation
I’m surrounded by resources of all kinds
Technological, Social, Educational, Professional, and Resourceful
The fate of my future will be decided on how I use those resources
The commute to Baruch is quite an adventure
Congested Trains
Sauna Platforms
Blocked Stairwells
All in a day’s work of commute
It’s like being submerged to another world
Greasiness, Bacteria, and Train Tracks all around me
The L and 6 Trains are my Transportation Lifesavers
Even though they could be a thorn on my side at times
It Helps Get to School On Time
Thank God For That
That’s my adventurous transportation experience
I find myself becoming more sociable at Baruch
I was unsure if I would be able to make friends
I’m a nice guy, but socializing to me feels like a entirely different language
I was feeling anxious, determined, and rowdy to tackle socialization at Baruch
Sometimes I feel like a million bucks
While other times I feel desolate or contemplating the importance of life
But I found friends who respected me for who I am
For my unique style of seeing things
Or for my intellectual wittiness
I feel appreciated and respected by my fellow peers
From helping others study for Philosophy Midterms
To worrying about Applied Calc tests
For the first time in my life, I feel apart of a certain group
I see a future full of new friends, excitement, and prosperity
Now, I just need to make it happen
It’s now my time to live out my life and make it happen
I feel happy for what I’ve accomplished so far at Baruch.
I hope everyone else can be just as swell as I feel right now
Life At Baruch, what a journey it has been so far.
