Hello everyone, my name is Gabriel Angel Jimenez, he/him. I’m a Queens resident, majoring in Communication Design and this is the start of my junior year (but if you took a look at me, you’d think I’d be a freshman because I look younger than I am). NYC really is a great place to live, I’ve traveled across Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan and never get tired of exploring, mainly because the only reason I be traveling is because I play too much Pokemon Go. I’m also trying to get better at illustration/character drawing. My feelings on college aren’t that negative, I guess I wasn’t a part of those students who resort to ramen everyday and stay up till 4 am!

This is a pic of my cat and you can see she’s now a snack. She is the best thing that’s happened to my family as the pandemic was dwindling down. She really gave me a mental health boost through the tough times and now enjoy spending time with her. Cats are definitely better than dogs so become a cat person and embrace the meow!

Good day! My name is Kevin, and I am a Mechanical Engineering Technology Major. My pronouns are he/him and I would like to be addressed as so. My hobbies include I watching anime, reading comics and discussing topics related to social media/personal life. I am African American but my parents are from a Caribbean country called Guyana. I was born and raise in Queens, New York. Though, I have never been to Guyana I have a strong heritage in the culture.  I feel like college is an interesting experience that is frustrating because, it gets overwhelming at times. It is a lot to try and maintain a school/ work life but I am managing so far.

The image above is a picture that I took around Christmas Time, at the Jones Beach State Park. This digital animation is apart of the annual Magic of lights, a drive-through holiday LED show. This picture makes me feel happy that people in this world are capable of finding love. I think that true love is a rare feeling to find because it hard to search for that one person who is going to communicate, be honest, make you happy. This picture shows a physical representation of two people displaying love to the world (with the crowd watching below in the cars).  And I have been so lucky to be one of those people to find love.

My name is Odalis Cruz and my pronouns are she/her. I’m from Brooklyn and my major is business in technology of fashion and I’m a sophomore. I enjoy spending time with my family and, I love sitting outside my house and enjoying nature and the weather. Some media topics that interest me are podcasts and videos, and learning about current events environmental issues, and immigration. I feel good about it being my second year in college the first year I was a nervous wreck, but now that I know how everything works I feel more confident.

The picture below I took this summer while I was in Mexico. Every summer I go over there and visit my family there and I really enjoy my time there and I miss it. I love it over there it is so much different than over here and that is the main thing I look forward to each summer.
