Brianna Lyle: Assignment One


For a kid who went to a high school located on a farm in Brattleboro, Vermont, Malcolm, 21, seems to be adjusting well to the Big Apple and beyond after moving here for college three years ago.

“I wanted to get away from there [Vermont] as far as possible,” he explained. “I think you should push yourself to do uncomfortable things.”  Although he enjoyed waking up to a farm every morning, the city life of Paris, where he studied last semester, was irresistible; “La ville-Lumiere” only sparked his interest to travel more in his future. 

For noe, Malcolm is a junior at Eugene Lang College where he double majors in Media Studies and Literary Studies.  His plans, however, are greater than most college students graduates, nonetheless an undergraduate still working on his degree.

“I want to own my own publication on music and not treat it like religion but more humorous.  I want a real public publication.”  Big plans for a 21-year-old who doesn’t seem to mind how much money he’ll ever make.  “I think if you’re going to get a job doing something creative and get paid for it all, you’re pretty lucky.”  And luck is exactly what Malcolm attributes his life to today.

As a child he went through a series of accidents that nearly killed him, such as jumping through a window on accident, falling of a swing-set that left him unconscious and crashing his car directly into a tree, yet he escaped all instances without a scratch.   

“I think I believe in fortune, yeah, I do.  Some people like myself get another opportunity.”
