Whenever I make new friends, I barrage them with questions: Do you play anything? Are you indifferent to the smell of cold Spring nights? In hypothetical situation ____, would you...?
"You're like that kid that doesn't stop asking an adult 'why?'" my friend Daniel told me.
I like people watching: I like observing people's interactions, facial expressions, and listening to the variation of tones in their words because I like when people's masks peel off. I feel that out of stress from our obligations, our baggage from our past hurts, we numb ourselves and tuck away who we are.
I like classes that deal with emotion and self expression: Creative Writing, Classical Mythology, Film 101. My favorite class at Hunter is Classical Mythology, taught by Professor Jeffrey Barnes.
I'm not looking to reveal "beautiful" interactions between people. My only experience with media has been an enrichment class that I took in middle school, but with this class I hope to (I'm not original here) remind people that it's okay to feel, and be vulnerable.
