Hello world!

I wasn’t formed by one event or person, I’m just a product of my environment. Just realized that answering this reminds me of “I’m just the product of everybody I’ve ever known,” a quote by Chuck Palahnuik. He’s the author of Fight Club, fyi. In a way I am (and that applies to most people I think) a product of the people I come across. I’m open to the influences (habits, music, views) I like, and generally avoid the ones I dont. I am a product of my closest friends and their opinions and tastes, I am a product of Stuy, I am a product of living in Brooklyn. I love my borough!

College is way to similar to high school for my taste. It’s slightly irritating. It takes me the same amount of time to get to school, its pretty much just as crowded and there are plenty of Stuy kids around. And I miss Battery Park, the parks by Baruch are too business and people orientated. Too many benches, not enough grass. But its a different neighborhood and I have a Macbook!

As a college student I guess I expect a new beginning with education? Rather, more dedication to school, especially since college is supposed to have a bigger variety of classes. I’m really happy to have the Macbook, my time management and organization weren’t too great in high school so I’m hoping that with a laptop I’ll be a bit better off. We’ll see.

    Svetlana,
    I am glad that you have been shaped by those around you. As you continue through Baruch you will meet more students, ones that didn’t go to your high school. Open up to meeting new people. Joining a club might help too. The school is so big I know that you will find new people who interest you and who will shape you even more. It’s hard now because you have the same classes with the same students, but it won’t always be like this.

    I hope your MAC helps you to better organize your time. It is always a constant struggle. If you need any advice I have sort of mastered it so feel free to contact me!

    Maria
