I picked these 10 songs because these are some of the songs on my itunes top 25 list. In general these songs represent who i am because whenever your at a party or even a small gathering these are songs that make it “tun up”. Music has helped me get through a lot, it could be as simple as something that you have alike with someone too or allowing you to have euphoria no matter the situation. And if anybody wants to listen to them i highly recommend it.

To begin my name is Gary Fox-Nelson, i am a junior named after my father with my mothers maiden name. I like to be active whether it be playing pick up games of basketball football or soccer, or working out. Being fashionable is very important to me also because not only is it an outlet to express who i am as a person, it also gives a good impression. But i wasn’t like who i am today. Before I came to Baruch i had a whole heap of different issues that i had to tackle.

Going into high school i was a short little nerd with glasses. I had a olive green and black jacket with a matching book bag so for some time my nickname was turtle. I was never very social, and i always wanted to be apart of the “cool” people when i was younger, and eventually that started messing with my grades cause then i started cutting class and then school all together. I skipped school for a year and a half before I was forced to transfer to a smaller school. At the time i always felt i was gonna graduate high school, but i never wanted to do the work and i felt cool hanging out with my friends at the time no matter what anybody said. But eventually i grew tired of the same cutting school scenery and decided to go back to school and go on with my life. From 2010 until the summer of 2012 I worked as hard as i could to finish high school and when i finished i felt as if i accomplished a great feat, but i still had the urge to go on.

Which brings me to why I am at Baruch now and why many students attend Baruch college. I always wanted to further my education to become a success human being in this society, and present a easier life for my future children.

In my ideal future i would hope to be a super – intern and succeed with a great company or maybe even my own company or brand. I’m honestly not focusing on it 24-7 but at the same time i have been constantly wondering what to do and how to get there, and this Freshman Orientation class is helping out a lot in creating a path for me to get there. I might get a  challenge by getting myself up in the morning, getting myself to do my assignments before due dates and stuff like that but if i could get myself into some good habits i believe that nobody can stop me.

Well this is me currently, enjoying my college life with my new friends and experiences. And i really love my favorite class of my freshman year, Freshman Orientation and after i’ve been in another freshman orientation class i believe that my Freshman Orientation class is the best because of our great teachers Jenny and Joanna. , thank you, you guys are F****in awesome

Me. Minus the whole being white thing.

Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow.

That’s how I felt during my first semester at Baruch. I feel like I was always rushing, but that’s because I was always wasting my time.

College was both under and overwhelming; I had classes I felt were way too easy, and others that I still don’t know if I’m going to pass. But I’m anxious to see what the final grades will be, and how well I did.

If I’m going to make it through this, I have to learn how to manage time, and get rid of procrastination. If it wsn’t for all the nonsense I do, my GPA probably would be a full point higher probably!

I made a few good friends, learned alot, and matured some. All in all, it was a good experience, and I can’t wait for the next semester.

I still can’t believe it, it’s the last week of classes for my first semester. I must admit that I am having a wonderful time being part of Baruch. I learned so much during these past three months, not only regarding my courses but also about the American culture. I made some awesome friends and I really wish to remain in touch with them after the end of this semester. I would like to thank all of them for answering my stupid questions regarding “American way of doing things and American terms”. I am fortunate to have outstanding professors in my first semester, all of them really understanding, frank and helpful in addition to that, Baruch’s diversity is fascinating. I enjoyed getting to know people from various different backgrounds. I wish to have such a fun learning experience for the rest of my time at Baruch and I wish luck to all my friends.

Yes, Stupid people everywhere. It’s actually kind of weird when saying that about people who are in college, an institution for higher learning, but this is how I felt for a portion of my start here at Baruch. It most likely has to do with the age difference. Now not all older people are “wiser” than younger people but I would say that I am. I’ve been there and done that. But as the semester progress and I continued to learn more about the people around me as well as learn from them, it began to change my thoughts. These people aren’t so stupid after all and perhaps the stupid one…is me. Hopefully every semester to pass will be as great as this first one and I’ll be ready to tackle all the new challenges. Oh and along the way hopefully meet more “stupid” people.

Upon first entering Baruch, I said to myself “Damn this place is packed!” All the students seemed to be in a rush to get to somewhere important. At orientation when I first heard that we’d have to take a mandatory freshman seminar class I wasn’t pleased to say the least. Now that my first semester is coming to a close, I am grateful that Baruch offers its students such a helpful course. Helpful in the sense that you have a group of people with you that are experiencing exactly what you’re experiencing. You don’t feel alone which is usually how most people feel when entering a new environment. People that help you remember you have homework when you forget and give you helpful tips on ways to study. My picture is one of excitement because that is how I feel most days at Baruch. I’m surrounded by cool people that I get along with very well. Freshman seminar class sessions will be missed, however I am looking forward to all the new experiences and memories I’ll create at Baruch.

The following is a random selection from my “recently played” playlist on my itunes account. For those people that do not know me, I am a HUGE music fan. To me music is much more than an art expression; I consider music to be one of the biggest aspects of my daily life. I am one of those people that must absolutely, without question, have some sort of music enabling device with me at all times. I sometimes think to myself, if there is something wrong with me. I can’t see myself going to the gym unless I have an ipod, I cant see myself walking to school unless I have an ipod, its soo crazy that I even look for my ipod when I walk downstairs my home to retrieve the mail. Music is truly one of my greatest joys. I consider every song in my music library to be a representation of myself. Whether im happy, energetic, or relaxing all the songs in my ipod provide a unique peace of mind. I especially like kid cudi and electric because they either have lyrics I can relate to and melodies that keep me going.
