Who do you think you are?

My name is Nick DiChiara and I am a freshman currently enrolled at Baruch College. When One is asked who they think they are they can give many answers. I am an eighteen years old boy who can sometimes be a bit nervous when doing new things. I currently live on long Island with my parents and my older brother and I also have a dog. I think of my self as being a bit serious and also being a little bit shy. I enjoy playing video games and i enjoy art. I also like to think of myself as being a good student. As far as my appearance goes I’m average height and look like any ordinary college student but I’m someone who is happy with how I look and wouldn’t change a thing. A feel all these things help to accurately describe who I am.

I definitely have a few concerns about my freshman year at Baruch college. One of those concerns is struggling with my class work. I do not want to fall behind in my classes and possibly even failing. I suppose if this ever happens all have to ask for help and i will manage to pass but it still scares me. Another one of my concerns is not liking my professors. What I mean is I hope that I do not have any difficulty because of a professors teaching methods. I am also concerned that I might have trouble with math because that has always been the subject I was worst at and I don’t want to fail.

So far my experiences at Baruch college have definitely different from what I was used to in high school. Back in high school I’d drive to school and be there in five minutes. But now I have to take a train to Penn station and walk to school which takes about an hour and a half. That is definitely something that will take some time to get used to. Its also a new experience to have a much different schedule every other day. One day I have two classes and get out by 12 and on another day I have three classes and get to leave at two. In high school I’d have the same classes everyday at the same time. College also requires more effort for me than high school.

I am sure that my first year at Baruch college will end up changing me. At the end of the year I’ll probably be a bit less of a procrastinator after I get used to handing in work by a certain date. I also think that I will become a bit more aware of those deadlines and check to see what work i may have due every single day. I beleve that this first year will change me by giving me some idea as to what type of major i may want to pursue later in college. I’m sure that there are many other ways that college will change me but i can’t predict them.

One thought on “Who do you think you are?

  1. I too am from Long Island and I had to get used to the commute to Penn Station and then the commute to Baruch. After a while I realized that there is so many ways to make the train rides productive: sleep, read, annotate, reread, text, listening to music, free write, jot down random ideas and notes, or just people watching.

    Procrastination is a biggie for many college students. Study groups help to keep students on track and enhance the learning experience.
