My name is Kobe Baltazar and my pronouns are he/him. Im from Brooklyn and my major is communication design and I’m a Lower Junior.  I have many hobbies such as playing video games, playing soccer, doing things hands on such as creating mockups of different packaging designs. As for media topics that I find interesting would have to be documentary, podcast, and films. The way I feel about college right now is joyful because every semester I tend to learn something new.

This photo here is meaningful to me because on that day its where me and a bunch of cousins and my siblings walked around our parents home town and got to experience where they would hang out or walk around as when they were younger.

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.
