Jeremy Brown is my name and living life is my game.  I’m a Macaulay Honors student at Baruch College, but before attending here I was a student at Suffern High School.  I have lived in Suffern, NY (the suburbs) for the past 10 years, but I’m now living in a dorm in Manhattan (dream come true!).  I’m unsure as to what my major will be – it will likely not be within the business school, though if it is it will likely have to do with computers (CIS).  Some areas of interest are technology, creative writing, politics, philosophy and psychology, though I’m sure there are more that I either can’t think of or haven’t discovered yet.

Ready for Business

[fun fact: despite the various shades of red pictured above, my favorite color is blue]

Since I was young, I always had an affinity for Star Wars.  I now own a custom made lightsaber (see above) and have read too many Star Wars novels to count.  Star Wars has inspired me to read a lot and take Kung-Fu lessons.  I play piano and specialize in jazz, though I listen to a lot of hip-hop and would like to learn how to play the drums.  Back at Suffern, I created the school’s film club, and am an avid fan of video games (though I doubt I’ll have much time for video games during school).  I once built my own computer, which was a rewarding but difficult experience for me.  Would I do it again? Probably.  I was on the crew team for my first two years of high school, which is just about all the sports I expect myself to be active in for the rest of my life.  I am interested in politics and have a lot of opinions, though they are shifting as I learn more about the world around me.  I love meeting new people, and its nice that folks at Macaulay and Baruch are open to meeting new people as well.  I’d like to start writing creatively, because I don’t do it enough.

Although I’ve been told that I might not be ready for the city, I’m more worried that the city isn’t ready for me.
