Hi Professor Munshi & class! My name is Annabeth Stoll and I’m 27 years old living in Brooklyn. I’m originally from New Jersey but I’ve lived and worked in the city for the past 7 years – time flies!

It’s hard to narrow down what brings me joy in such weird times, because as I’m sure you all have, I’ve had to adapt my everyday drastically in the past year. The things I’d say are keeping me sane are my dog, trying out new recipes (yes, I jumped on the bread baking trend when quarantine started), and Facetime movie dates with my friends. If you ever want to know what my top 5 are, I’ll be glad to talk your ear off about em. 🙂

Here’s a photo of Millie as dog tax – she’s an absolute nut and you might hear her on camera from time to time.

Hello my name is Jarlyne Zuniga, I am 20 years old and I live in the bronx. I learned how to do acrylic nails during quarantine. I can say this is something that gives me comfort because it distracts me, it relaxes me. A quote that I like is ” the only way you see results is if you stay consistent”. The reason I like this quote is because it’s a reminder to me that I will only succeed if I stay consistent. I am excited for this semester. hoping everything goes well !

Hey everyone

My name is Taavixiqua (tah-vuh-zee-kwuh) T is also fine. Im from Brooklyn. I love to watch movies, I like sappy movies, rom coms, and murder mysteries you name it. I really love music as well. Like really love music. Like if I could show how much, this is what it would look like

I play guitar, trumpet, and a little bit of the drums. I also love traveling, although I haven’t been much places. And who knows when that will happen thanks to freaking covid 🙁 I never thought I’d say this but I miss school. Being in the classroom… with other students..the whole school environment. Good ol days. But yeah, Im looking forward to the experience and knowledge Im going to gain from this class.

Hi everyone!

My name is Paola I am 19 years old and I live in Queens. This is my last semester at bmcc and I wished classes were in person so there could be more interaction between everyone. There are a few things that I really enjoy doing like dancing. Every time I dance it just brings me happiness and a feeling of freedom, it just makes me feel comfortable. A quote that I really like states “Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself”. Every time I remember this makes me think of who I am and who I can.

Hey! I’m Tracy and I’m excited to learn in this class, I really like to write so I hope the Writing Intensive part goes in my favor.

This will be my last semester at BMCC (hopefully) and I wished we could all be in person, this course is definitely interesting and I love a little controversy here and there so can’t wait to hear everyone’s opinions.

I hope you enjoy the semester as well and stay safe out there!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Alex, and this is my first time back in college since 2016 so I’m really excited to be here. I moved to Brooklyn from Jersey City in October so I’m in somewhat of a transitional phase of changing people, places, and things in my life (scary, but also thrilling).

Those changes aside, I’m definitely a creature of habit and the things that bring me the most comfort and joy are the things I try to keep in my life every day. for example: I enjoy making my bed, it’s like giving myself a tiny gold star first thing in the morning and sets me up for the rest of my day. I also love crossword puzzles and try to do the New York Times crossword every day. The pandemic has definitely amplified the importance of performing these little rituals for me.

There’s a tweet that I read back in 2012 that said “Everything happens so much” – I still think about it a lot.

Hello Dr. Soniya and class colleagues,

My name is Melody and I am coming most recently from the production world where I assumed various Art Department roles, from prop master to set construction to production design, although I’ve floated in and out of many different types of work before I fell into my production career. I moved up to this city two weeks before I turned 18, and somehow twelve years have flown by. I didn’t have a path to going to school right away, so I am very excited to be here finishing up my AA now, better late than never! My goal is to forge a path to a career working in curriculum studies and development. Accessible, affordable, and quality education is a deeply held passion of mine, especially after struggling in school growing up, largely due to external factors.

I am fortunate that many things bring me joy, like the playlists I’ve been making for myself since back when burning CD’s was a thing, a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, a cozy spot with lots of blankets and pillows + a great book, a good stretch, cooking a stellar meal, making art and building stuff (I am a craft master), writing, and my tuxedo cat Jet. Maybe he will make an appearance this semester, he loves to jump on my laptop keyboard at the most inopportune of moments!

It was so nice meeting you all in our first class, it seems like we have a class full of excellent humans. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone this semester, and always hoping to make some new friends along this educational journey.
