Where I’ve Been and Where I Hope to Go

So you want to get to know me. Here are the match.com generic facts: I’m pretty tall, maybe even 5′ 1″ which means I tower over everyone. It’s a hard life… Brown eyes, brown hair. The usual. My marital status- single (I’m only seventeen) and my faith is Jewish. My education is Baruch College, the Honors program. I’ve been playing the piano since first grade, and recently I’ve picked up guitar. I love shoes and clothes in what can only be described as an unhealthy way; I love my family and my friends. Now I suppose I should start with the real facts. I’m not really sure I’ve had experiences that have shaped who I am. I’m a college freshman- what experiences could I possibly have had that were life changing?  Maybe that’s what my hope is for this semester-  a change in perspective. But I don’t think it’s only one experience that can shape who you are- it’s the passage of time that has brought me to many conclusions. Trial and error has matured me in so many ways. I’ve learned through heartbreak; I’ve learned through my happiness and successes, and also disappointments and failures. I have regrets, but not about what you’d think. I don’t regret going through heartbreak, even though it’s made me wary. I do regret not taking more risks in high school. I don’t want to graduate college feeling like I didn’t live my time in college up to it’s potential. I don’t have many expectations of college, but I do have expectations for myself.
