Hey, everyone! As the title suggests, my name is Anton. I immigrated here from Moscow when I was very young and have mostly lived in staten Island since then. I’m a fairly laid-back person and I enjoy snowboarding, skiing, working out, music, traveling and politics. I hope to study abroad in Holland sometime during junior year. I’m somewhat anxious about these next four years, but I think they’ll be fun!

Liz Fields
Hi I’m Liz. I used to live in Mahopac but I’m dorming in Manhattan right now. I really love going to concerts and crowd surfing and moshing. I also have a passion for hair dye and some of my friends refer to me as the human rainbow. I love exploring and trying new things and I’m really looking forward to the next four years.
vivian :3
Hi, I’m Vivian (all the way to the right). I’ve lived in New York all my life, but I aspire to explore the world one day. I am a huge movie buff so during my free time I like to watch a lot of movies. I love listening to all types of music. I like keeping an open-mind and trying new things, so I think I’m ready for whatever this class throws at me.
Garrett
Hi, my name is Garrett (all the way on the right) and I’m from Brooklyn. I was born and raised in NYC, so technology is my passion. I love to watch movies, play video games, and sleep. The life of laziness is the life for me, but I’m sure that the many different cultural experiences waiting for me will keep me awake.
its phoebeeee
Hi, my name is Phoebe. I live in Brooklyn. I like to cook, bike and watch movies. I especially love thrillers and romantic comedies. I am deathly afraid of pigeons which makes living in New York a little unpleasant. I really love to travel and explore new places so I’m pretty excited for this class. 
AMYYY
My Name is Amy (on the right), and i am from Queens. I love to hang out with my friends and explore new restaurants around NYC. My favorite thing to do is to try out food from different cultures. Lastly, unlike other girls, i hate shopping…

Helen Li
I am Helen Li (left), a person who is happy 99% of the time. I am an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams living a simple life in an abnormal world.
Another introduction
My name is Aaron Fung, and I am from Brooklyn. I like stories and games, which isn’t uncommon. I enjoy thinking, but I often think too much about things. And I usually try to keep an open mind, as there are always multiple perspectives and different ways of seeing worth considering in art, culture, and other aspects of life. I’m ready to learn about and explore the arts of New York City.
Owen the ITF :)
Hi everybody, my name is Owen. I have noticed many music references in the posts so far, so I will keep that theme going and tell you a little bit about myself using music.
Myself in Riverton, Manitoba, Canada, home of the largest moose in Manitoba.
While I do not play a musical instrument per se (although I learned a bunch of Metallica songs on the guitar when I was twelve), the last thing I listened to was Asbury Park by Bruce Springsteen. It’s my favorite album of his, in large part because of all the place-specificity in the lyrics. I also listened to John Prine this morning (like every morning, if I have the time) with my coffee and toast. Here is one of my favorite John Prine songs. But as Dave may already have surmised, my real dream would be to own a car with a stereo so I could blast Hot 97 all day, as most of my neighbors do.
Jihae Lee
Hi, my name is Jihae Lee and I’m from Queens. I like to read, listen to music, and watch movies in my spare time. I’m looking forward to learning about art and discovering new interests this semester.
