Give us some Background: Some things you might include in your posting/blog: Are you new to Baruch this semester? Where did you grow up? What are your interests/hobbies? Is psychology your intended major? What have been your favorite classes thus far? Do you belong to any student clubs/organizations? etc.
Share something from the Web or from your personal archives that reflects a bit about who you are. This can be a link to a personal Blog or website, or perhaps to a YouTube video, song, poem, or picture that expresses a part of your personality. Have Fun with this piece J
Please note that other classmates will be reading your responses. This is NOT an iChat or BBM conversation, so please use proper grammar and full sentences.

PART II

Read through fellow students’ postings.
Comment and respond to what other people have posted. At MINIMUM, You MUST reply to ONE other student’s posting.
Be respectful of your peers and professors. Do not post messages that are disrespectful, insulting, or offensive. If your posting(s) are offensive to someone we will remove them and you will be held accountable for your actions.
