Reflect on the following 4 questions and create a response of no more than 500 words. You can integrate media into your post if you please.
1. Tell us who you think YOU are!
2. Share your top 3 concerns about your freshman year at Baruch College and explain why.
3. So far, what do you think will make your Baruch College experience different from your high school experience?
4. How do you think your first year at College will change you?
1. I am someone who is very indecisive. It takes me forever to make decisions, big or small. I am a nerd who cares a lot about my grades and my future. I am someone who tends to bottle everything up. I love to shop, I love buying scarves. I am one of those people who has never done laundry and don’t know how to either. I’m pretty useless when it comes to chores.
2. My top three concerns are:
1. My grades because if I don’t get above a B in all of my classes I cannot transfer to Geneseo next semester if I decide to. My grades are very important to me.
2. Another concern is having the same experience I did in high school. Baruch is just like Brooklyn Tech. but a lot bigger. I want to experience some sort of a college life.
3.I’m going to be dropped from a class because we only get four absences!
3. I think that if Baruch wasn’t a commuter college the experience would differ from that at my high school.
4. I think I will become more mature and learn to not procrastinate.
1. I think that I am a very motivated person. I try to take advantage of all the opportunities I possibly can.
2. One of my concerns is that I don’t know how to manage my time very well. I have a lot of things going on but I can’t seem to get them all done because I don’t know how to prioritize and organize everything.
Another concern of mine is being able to adjust to college. In high school, I was able to do well and get good grades without studying tests or even doing homework. Now I can see that college requires actual effort and time, and I need to learn how to put in that time and effort to do well.
A third concern I have about college is that I’m not really sure how to communicate with professors. I sometimes feel uncomfortable asking them questions or speaking to them after class. I need to work on that.
3. I think that Baruch is completely different from the high school I went to. First of all, I went to a small school. There were about 250 students in my graduating class. On the one hand, all the teachers were able to get to know the students on a personal level, and all the students knew each other as well. On the other hand, the fact that the school was so small was annoying because everybody knew each other and there was a lot of stupid useless drama. I know that Baruch will not offer me the individual attention that I got in high school, but I don’t mind. I’m glad that Baruch is such a big school, and I can finally meet a lot of new people. Baruch also offers me a much wider variety of opportunities, because it’s a bigger school. One thing I love about Baruch is the diversity – I was used to seeing a student body that has mostly Russian kids in my high school, but in college there are thankfully people from all over the world.
4. I think that my first year of college will change me in many good ways. First of all, I’ve had problems with procrastination and bad time management practically my whole life, and I am confident that I’ll be able to change that this year. I also think that I’ve made some good friends so far.
1. I am very impulsive as a person… I think I’m quite odd, and a bit reserved. I really like to sleep.
2. – My first concern is my grades. I hope that I can maintain a good average my freshman year, because you can’t really change your GPA once it gets really down…
– My second concern is getting used to all the freedom. It’s currently been a month since we started school, and I still feel like I’m on vacation because we only go to classes 4 days a week, and only a few hours a day. It’s very surreal and different from high school
– My third concern is that it’ll be harder to make friends in college than in high school, where there are so much less people. There such a diverse group of people in Baruch, it’s hard to know where to start, though I feel I’ve made some great friends around here.
3. I think Baruch is going to be different from my high school because there are so many different people from different backgrounds here, while in high school mostly everyone was of the same age group, wasn’t that diverse (in mine at least) and everyone knew each other. There are so many different people in Baruch, unlike my high school and it’s hard to get to know everybody, and there’s also so many things to do on your downtime, you’ll never be bored.
4. I think my first year of college will change me because I am given so much independence, it’s so different from high school and it’s kind of scary. We don’t get reminded when we have tests and homework due, and you’re just a number in a class, so you can’t suck up to your teachers…
1) I believe I’m someone that likes to be low-key and can get lost in music very easily, most likely an introvert.
2) a- Concentration- It’s really difficult to keep track of what’s going on in a class for over an hour especially since we’re so used to having classes shorter than this.
b- Readings- It’s hard to actually read what we’re assigned since it’s not really enforced unlike high school where we were given written assignments.
c- Commuting- It takes me quite awhile to get to Baruch so that can tie into time management as well, it kinda sucks that I wake up extra early.
3)The freedom we’re given makes it quite different than high school where everything was organized and we had a daily routine. The fact that we have breaks is kinda weird since I never had them. We’d go straight to the next class, no discussion about it.
4) I believe it’ll make me more disciplined and will break my procrastination habit.
I’m sarcastic and I can’t help it. Socially, I am tend to be awkward at times but who isn’t? I like to keep myself occupied most of the time but when I’m not I’d end up complaining about how boring it is. Lately I’ve been all talk and doing nothing about my goals. I wanted to join a club of some sort to meet new people, connect, but I keep telling myself that I don’t have the time to because of a job i recently acquired. Also, I don’t want to go on in college referred to as “that kid in my xxxxx class” but rather “Gavin’s in my xxxxxx class” and people know who I am. That’s probably not going to happen considering how no one seems to interact in lecture halls. Finally, I find myself slacking off in classes where the professor does not give a crap the students. I don’t find pleasure in being in the class or learning from that professor if even he/she doesn’t care.
I don’t see much difference from Brooklyn Tech and Baruch College. They seem the same in me because honestly, a good 80% of my friends from Tech are in Baruch. It feels like high school all over again but now we have breaks and get to go outside for lunch. The part where it’s different is that everyone seems to have something to do now. We don’t meet up at the end of the day but only on club days. I can see that we all are slowly changing from being at Baruch. Each of us have gotten more independent and so have I. I’m beginning to be more responsible in terms of studying for tests and catching up with my readings versus asking around for someone else’s notes in class. I’m beginning to have more freedom in the things I do or want to do.
I don’t really know who I am. I think that’s why I’m going through such a hard time right now. For the most part, I have a hard time making friends because of the way I was raised. I’m really outgoing, talkative and I’m generally never shy.
My top three concerns about Baruch College are:
1 – I dislike Baruch so far. I really want to transfer.
2 – Baruch is just like high school. My friend was right.
3 – Being at Baruch makes me feel kind of sad.
I don’t think Baruch is much different from high school at all. I travel with the same kids all day and have all my classes with them. The only thing different about Baruch is that we have much more freedom and teachers aren’t breathing down your neck.
I’m hoping my first year in college will make me more responsible. Since being in college is all about being on your own and independent, I’m hoping I’ll learn how to manage my time better and learn how to study.
I AM ANNA DENG! I am myself because there’s no one else who is better at being yourself than you! And also because you should always be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else. I like quotes I can use in real life, listening to music, and eating with people I like. Sometimes I am self-conscious, and I am terrible at math. I’m worried about failing math at Baruch! I’m worried that won’t be able to stay on top of my game, and I’m worried about being just another person at Baruch. I don’t like Baruch because it’s just like highschool! but with different people, and more of them. I hope being at Baruch/being in college in general will teach me how to actually study! And I also hope I’ll learn to be more responsible and mature. 🙂
I am Danielle Minch; a loving friend, sister, daughter, cousin, a dedicated musician and a student. My top three concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College are passing all my classes, getting involved and picking the right classes. I know that if I don’t pass, I wasted tons of money so that can’t even be a concern. I want to get involved so that I make friends and have a real college experience, and so far I think I’m doing well in that area. I’m kind of scared about picking classes for next semester because I’m still new at the school and don’t know what my requirements are or even what major I want to study. My college experience will be different from high school because I will have to work harder here to succeed and I have more responsibility. I also have more freedom to go out and be social which hopefully won’t interfere with my studies. My first year at Baruch might change me in my maturity level and as far as how outgoing I am.

1. I’m JAR. If I’m talking about who I am, let it be known that God is center of my essential being :). Most of the time I don’t know what I want, so it’s safe to say that I’m impulsive. I’m a ‘nice guy’. I get bored easily. I like to exceed people’s expectations, being that people don’t expect me to get very far in life. I don’t get close to people fast.
2. 1) I won’t get involved in anything.
2) I won’t maintain a banging GPA.
3) I’ll be miserable here.
These are my concerns b|c this school is so big, and it seems as if everyone is involved in their own lives, so nobody really cares what you do or how you do. So it’s pretty easy to get “lost” around here.
3. What makes Baruch different from high school is that the teachers aren’t on top of you. Even though it seemed annoying in high school, it was motivating. It gave me a reason to do my homework and whatnot. Here I have to constantly remind myself that if I want to progress and do do well I’ll have to give myself that push, not expect to get it from anybody else.
4. My first year of college will make me an overall stronger person. It’s completely true when people say “you’re on your own”
1) I’m a very nice and caring person and I would do a lot for my friends, even though I know i act mean and look like one sometimes.
2)My top 3 concerns about my freshmen year at baruch are getting good grades, staying out of trouble, and meeting new people.
3) College is different from highschool because the classes are a bit harder but there’s also a lot more free time and other activities to do. I like that some classes are interesting and to be able to have more choices.
4) I think ill become more disciplined and become a better student, to be more motivated and mature.
1) My name is sangey sherpa. If i was to tell you who i think i am i would say a laidback person who does like schoolwork and stuff good, but is lazy at times. I care about my grades a lot, but this year classes are realy easy so i’m not tat worried.
2)-run out of things to do in the city
– won’t get enough sleep
– i get bored too easily
3)I’m more free at baruch. I can leave and enter when i want. No one is bugging down my back. I have less time to do stuff. I study a lot more and party more.
4)I’ll be more mature and look at things in a job oriented manner instead of hanging out and playing ball.
1) My name is Calvin Liang.I’m a quiet guy but pretty noisy once you get to know me.
2) I’m concerned about my grades, getting a job, and picking a major. All three of them are the reason I’m going to college.
3)There are a lot of business oriented people here that I think changes the atmosphere at Baruch.
4)I think I’ll be more responsible and in control of my life.
1.my name is deon.i love school and people.
2. three concerns are getting good getting good grades, surviving 4 years, and getting a good job.
3.Baruch is different from highschool in many ways. For starters, the workload is much harder, and expections for professors to students are much higher. In addition, teachers’ are now called professors.
4. my first year of college will be hard to adjust to but in the end I will become more competent, educated and self-learned.
1. I think i am one fo the most lazy person in the world, if i had the choice of doing something over nothing i would rather choose the latter.
2. Grades, not enough sleep, staying focused, getting internship
3. not sure didnt have the full high school experience
4. maybe the way i think, knowlege changes people.
1) I am someone who over analyzes things. I over think everything way too much.
2) a) Falling asleep in class because it would lead to falling behind in class
b) Falling behind in class because it is hard to catch up on work.
c) Failing/doing horrible in a class(es) because it would mess up my GPA.
3) I just moved out to the city so even though Baruch is a CUNY i still somewhat have that college campus feel. It is really different from high school. The work load has also increased.
4) I think it will improve my time management. I’m really bad at balancing everything out.
