IF YOU HAVE SPOT, GATEKEEP IT SPOT, GATEKEEP IT WANT THAT PLACE YOU DO NOT WANT THAT PLACE INSTEAD OF RELYING ON AESTHETICS, I THINK YOU SHOULD BUILD THE CHARACTER THAT IS BEST FOR YOU.

Transcript

John Jay doesn't really have a good social life. If you have a spot, gatekeep it. Spot, gatekeep it. Want that place? You do not want that place. Instead of relying on aesthetics, I think you should build the character that is best for you. We need more seating areas. They should not have classes in Westport. We need to get rid of Westport. It takes 10 minutes this building to walk from this building to Westport. Why? I was late to all of my classes. Building on top to back classes is better than three hour gaps. I'm not a big fan of the e-portfolio. No other school. John Jay.
