Eulogy on The Jumbo Beat


I never thought I would write a eulogy for this blog, but with a heavy heart, I have to say goodbye to my floormate Alex Bhak. He was a first-year student from around New York City studying at the College of Arts and Sciences with an interest in economics, literature, and cinema.
But he wasn’t just that. Alex was, first and foremost, a warm and friendly presence on the world. He was a sociable guy. He was an avid fan of EDM, and he liked it for the sake of a good time. He didn’t need an escape from reality through music. The world was his oyster, a place with much good and potential. He was a happy and optimistic guy. He was also an intelligent guy who’d be down to have a deep conversation on a variety of topics from British literature, the contributions of Quentin Tarantino to modern cinema, soccer, and Marvel. He also gave really good advice, and he was open to helping others at any time. 

Alex Bhak was a wonderful guy. We will miss his friendship, his boundless positivity, and his enthusiasm to experience life to the fullest.
Goodbye, Alex.
