I believe that I am an old soul. Ever since someone told me that my friends and I that we belong in a different time period, I believed it. It makes sense because I’m not a person who really likes the way our society has become. It’s a very hard and long opinion to explain but yeah. I think about weird things, I ask weird questions, and I do the un-do able. I like how I am, although there are faults. I am why why I am.
My top three concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College is getting use to the self-work thing. It’s hard for me to keep track of my own work, I was always use to being told a due date a week or day before, now I have to use something called Blackboard. I’m not good at being focused outside of school so I’m also afraid of falling behind. The last thing I am afraid of is the fact that I’ll go through college not doing that “something” that makes my college experience a, college experience.
It already is different from my high school experience because college is like the adult version of it. No one will tell you what to do or what you shouldn’t do it’s all up to you to work out the kinks and to figure out what happens next.
It will help me learn to be more devoted to school work because if I really don’t catch up soon enough, I’ll fall behind so far that it’ll be too late and that’s just bad. First year of college, honestly, maybe it won’t change me much, personality wise.
Now you have the chance to tell yourself when things are due. Don’t be afraid to set these parameters for yourself to help you keep structure. Thanks for posting, Jennifer! I look forward to your future posts.
