Answering the question of who I think that I am is pretty simple to me. I think of myself as a normal college student/student athlete. All i’m trying to do is juggle the responsibilities of school work, athletics and a little bit of social life. I have one huge concern at Baruch, and that is that I’m going to fail out. I’m scared of that because if I do flunk out, my mom is gonna be PISSED. Another concern I have is that my beloved home state, Connecticut, will undergo great changes in my absence. I highly doubt that will happen, because hey, you don’t mess with perfection. Finally, my third concern. Living in NYC you see a lot of different people. One growing group of people is frightening to me. These people usually have skinny jeans, a love of blogging (even though no one cares what they think) and the final characteristic, a thick pair of Ray Ban eyeglasses. These people, are the hipsters. My concern is that spending so much time in Manhattan I may unconsciously pick up on some of their habits. This scares me to death. Because i’m a bro and I like the way I am. My Baruch college experience has two major differences in comparison to my high school experience. First off, is being away from home. Secondly, is at Baruch I get to go to school with girls. Xavier (my high school and number 1 ranked school ever made….. in my rankings) is an all boys, scratch that, all mens catholic prepatory school. To be honest, sometimes I forgot girls went to school after 8th grade. Turns out they do, and it’s a wonderful thing. As for changes during my first year. I’ll be reading and doing a lot of school work so my intelligence is gonna shoot up. I will also be working out for vball a lot so i’m gonna be like Randy strong.

Identities in Motion: Am I Moving?
September 11, 2010Written by nadine.suleiman | Comments Off on Identities in Motion: Am I Moving?
Figuring out who we are, and our purpose in this world, is a question that more than often seems to never be answered. With 18 years behind me, and much more ahead, I can firmly say I have no clue who I am. I do, however, know what I want.
Based on my collage, I want:
Freddie Mercury – the ability to fully express myself without inhibition
West Side Story – unhinged love and happiness
Paris – to travel the world
Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ – finding myself on a journey of the unknown
Beavis and Butthead – laughter and spontaneity
“In the blue corner, weighing in at a comfortable 210 lbs., is High School. At the opposite end, in the red corner, standing at a mere 130 lbs. is College.” In the UFC ring that is my mind, high school is the heavyweight champion. Unable to adapt to the commuter college experience so far, I can’t seem to find my way in one of the greatest cities in the world. Unlike the grid pattern of New York City, my mind and heart can’t seem to intersect at streets and avenues. Like the taxi cabs paving the streets, I have yet to stand out, making a name for myself. Apparently making friends is as easy as saying “Hello”, yet that word seems to be nonexistent in my vocabulary. This independent lifestyle isn’t as appealing as it seemed on your 18th birthday. I didn’t realize that when I blew out those candles, this is what the wax would create.
Here stands a challenge. Am I ready to take it? Do I have a choice? High school was a place of comfort and ease, pushing no boundaries. Those boundaries, almost intolerant to change, are now being pushed in every which way.
Here stands a challenger. As the opportunity awaits, I will slowly take the bull by the horns- I just hope the bull doesn’t prove to be stronger than my will.
As the end of the year grows closer, I will emerge as a hero in my own story. As the world of my expectations slowly integrates with that of reality, I will be more than ready to find my way of the present, and create my path of the future.
