The Big Bad BAC




Walking up to this six story brick building called the BAC, I wondered what I'd learn here. There is a Starbucks on the first floor, so far the best thing about it. Whatever I would learn here, I'd learn it with an excelled heart rate.

The building's at Arizona State all seem like they were taken from different places and periods of time. Lattie Coor and the Biodesign Institute could have come from a 22nd Century bustling city, the Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building looks as if it came out of a Black & Decker commercial, the Hayden library above-ground stories came from a 70's acid trip and the below ground came from...something boring, I'm not sure what. 

The BAC, came from a suburban neighborhood where people love brick...and squareness. An unimpressive building, no doubt, but teaming with endless possibilities. 

I now finish my fourth overall college semester, and first semester at W.P. Carey.  While the BAC from the outside seems dull with it's lack luster appearance, once you find your way into one of the confusing entrances to the building, you will find bright minds. Wearing everything from suits & ties to high heels & blackberry's, they will run the world. Ok maybe not the world, but at least the companies that will run you. They are dressing for the job they want, doing anything and everything to get there. 

I may be a face among the crowd at W.P. Carey, but that's one crowd I am honored to be in.
