Hello!

My name is Kyra Ernst. Considering how I largely keep my comments to myself in class and I sit up and off to the right (our right, that is…) I highly doubt anyone notices me. Still, I’ve had a great time thus far in Psychology – I have to admit that I never thought a giant lecture hall could be so…animated!

So a little about me, I guess. I’m a sophomore this semester at Baruch (not particularly sure where along that line I am, considering the credits I have…. I find this college complicated…) but planning to transfer to FIT next fall so that I can major either in Fashion Merchandising or International Trade and Marketing for the Fashion Industry. I have a feeling that sounds like a superficial trade with which to be concerned (at least, taking Macroeconomics and International Relations has given me a little cause to think that…) but I say, “You only live once!” and I intend on living once. I grew up all over upstate New York but I identify as a New Yorker, and I spent as much time as I could manage coming to the city to visit (I can still be seem roaming aimlessly around the east side). Hobby-wise, I enjoy drawing, writing, walking around the city (and discovering new places/things by chance that way), drinking bubble tea, and most likely other more interesting-sounding things that I can’t think of at present. I also enjoy using sarcasm whenever at all possible, so do excuse me if I offend you; I promise I don’t mean it to be personally harsh! Other than snide remarks, though, I haven’t been too up on my hobbies since my classes (adored as they are, with International Relations and Business Law near and dear to my heart as is) have a way of taking up all my time.

I’m looking forward to another good semester here at Baruch! While it is my intention to eventually leave, I don’t plan to withdraw from the community that I recently began to explore. I am the Secretary of Pi Sigma Epsilon, the only co-ed National Marketing Society here at Baruch, and through our organization we’re looking to have a busy semester that’s both professionally helpful and socially engaging!

About the post: I assume most people have seen it but I somehow think it applies. Sometimes you just feel like the straight man in a crazed comedy routine…or the only one who’s making sense. I hope I’m not as dour about it as dear old Charlie is…
