1. My name is Sean Budhua. I think I am a well driven student who wants a lot more than average in life. I know life is challenging and I accept that. I like being challenged. I’m a person who is down to earth and very laid back. I like hanging out with my friends and having a good time. I guess that makes me a people person. I like entering a room and having everyone know who I am. It’s difficult to have that in college however because there is so many different faces that I see everyday. I’m a person who loves trying new things and I think thats a good quality to have in college because I’m open-minded.
2. My top three concerns my freshman year at Baruch are:
– “Rude Awakening” Everyone always talks about how you are in for a rude awakening when going to college. I hate to hear that honestly, it just annoys me. So far everything is going fairly well. I just dont want to jinx myself and end up with a huge workload.
-“Fucking Up” I have this fear of slacking off too soon and potentially messing up my GPA. We are all starting off fresh and we each have an equal opportunity to have really high grades. Hopefully I can maintain at least 90+ averages and test scores.
-“Not having fun” College has a hype of being always fun. I know Baruch is not really a party school. Sadly that is one thing that I ENJOY doing a lot. I know how to balance out my social life and my college life. I just don’t want to be bored and hanging out with the same people all the time. I want to be able to do a lot of things and have a good time, that way I can look forward to my future years at Baruch.
3. So far, the difference at Baruch from my highschool experience is the money lol. I never really noticed how much money everything really does cost. I value the “student metro cards” so much more, even now that I don’t have one. The textbooks in highschool were free as well. Even though I do miss all these luxuries, I enjoy it at college because it gives you a sense of responsibilty and you get to be on your own.
4. I think my first year at college would change me. I think I will learn how to manage my time better. I will also learn more about how everything works. This way come next semester I will hopefully have a simple and smoothe time. College will give me more responsibilites and will be a challenge as well. This really is the start of a new transition and I’m embracing it.
who is leon?
i think i am pretty smart, athletic and kind. i am highly motivated to be the best that i can possibly be in this life because i feel you only have one life and you might as well not waste it. im not saying its easy but that just makes it more interesting. im not scared of a challenge i actually like them i fell that i perform better under pressure situations. because then it gives you an incentive to do even better at whatever the task is. i apply this motto not only to school and sports but life in general. i like to keep things interesting and i guess pressure situations just seem to do it for me.
my tops 3 concerns about my freshman year at baruch are to maintain a good gpa, get truly accustomed to college life in genral because it is a hard transition, and lastly to build good relationships with my professors. i feel that a good gpa is the starting point of how far u can get in college and later in life. gpa is were one can prove themselves to others who care to see just how smart they are, im not saying im a genius but when people look at my gpa i want them to know im dedicated and serious about school. secondly getting accustomed to college life is also very important to me because that deals with time management which is very important to success. also if one if familiar with his surroundings then he can truely take advantage 0f all of the resources available. lastly building healthy relationships with my professors is also a big concern of mine because even if i dont so well in a class my relationship can help boost up my grade or even give my some leeway on certain due dates.
what i think will make my college experience different form my high school experience is the independence. the fact that i now soley depend on myself and all of my actions will effect what i do and it is my job to figure out whcih of those actions will be more helpful to me. no more counselors or teachers telling what i have to do and staying on top of me, i have to do everything myself. at first its a little scary but it just will prepare me for my future and its better to understand what i have to do sooner then later. learn all of my lessons now so i dont have to pay the consequences later. i feel that high school is a joke compared to college.
i think my first year of college will change be greatly, hopefully. i think i will learn how to get good grades without constant pressure and anxiety. i also feel i will become more independent and learn how be successful not only in school but in life. because that is what i feel college is for, preparation for the life ahead. if you dont take college serioulsly then you will get nothing out of it and then it was just a waste of time. and i hate wasting time. i want to get everything possible out of college especially my first year. and in the end i think i will be a different man.
