With the closing of my first semester in college, I am starting to reflect the past semester and reaffirming my plans for the next and beyond. Throughout this semester, I have done something that I have never done before: breathe. While this does sound strange, (I mean, what human being has never taken a breath before?) I will explain and then you’ll understand. From my first blog, you probably got the feeling that I often get involved and that I enjoy to jump in pits of fire. It’ll probably surprise you to hear that I took the calm route in order to focus on myself and yes, to breathe. I often rely on myself to get through everything but during this semester, I have learned to let down my guard and ask others for their opinions, whether it be my friends (Shoutout to Squad. You guys will not be seasonal, I swear.) or faculty (Bothering Mr. Medina in his office). I learned to do what I usually let others do: vent and ask for advice.
Team Baruch is my next stop. I look forward to seeing what I learn from there. I will see how well mixing work and school goes. I will proceed with caution as I venture into club involvement at Baruch. After I am settled, I will work on creating the dance club. Meanwhile, I will solidify the decision I made earlier this semester, that I will major in psychology and minor in law. I will continue to strive for greatness and will probably begin my law school journey. In three years, it’ll be December 2019 and I will be nearing the end of my second to last semester at Baruch. This means switching into graduate school gears and preparing to work my butt off.
It’s easy to set goals; I often picture the future several times a day. The biggest problem for me is allowing myself to let the future fall into place so although I mentioned the goals above (And I will not neglect them), I will see where the future takes me and allow for some spontaneity. This includes allowing myself to let people into my inner circle and keeping them there, which I did earlier this semester, when I met some fantastic people, whom I hope will accompany me on my life journey as I want to be a part of theirs.
