I think I know who I am, but I’ll just refresh your memory. I’m Robert, 18 years old, and all that other stuff you could find on my Facebook. Okay, for real though, I think I am a unique person who is searching for a role in life; a part to play in the grand scheme of things. I’m spontaneous as hell with a very blunt view of things at times, but people get used to it.
Since coming to Baruch, I did have some concerns. First and mainly, is my long lasting case of senioritis. I haven’t gotten over senioritis since 8th grade maybe. Yeah, it’s that bad. I know how to do the work, but it just sits there waiting to be done. That can’t be good for me. Secondly, I was wondering how I’d adapt to the new environment and making new friends and all that. But in the month or so that I’ve been here, I’ve made so many new friends through basketball during my breaks and rushing with Lambda Phi Epsilon, so that concern isn’t such a big deal anymore. Lastly, I was concerned with my classes and hoping that I get good teachers, which I actually did, since I had bad luck with crappy teachers in the past.
I think the main thing that makes Baruch different from high school is the freedom you have. You can wander around the campus, go to the library, participate in sports in the ARC at your leisure. Also, the presence of sororities and fraternities is definitely a new thing since nothing  of that sort existed in high school.
I think my first year of college will change me because I see it now as a business. Back then, our years at school were provided for by the state, so we didn’t have to pay for it. Now we have to pay for tuition, books, food, etc. I have to make use of what I paid for or it’d just be a waste.
