So, everyone already knows I’m Danielle, an average eighteen year old girl from Staten Island trying to have a good time. I THINK I’m a good friend and fun to be around. I’m always trying to laugh and being surrounded by people who try to make me laugh. That’s basically the jist of who i think I am.
Freshman year at college brings along with it a few concerns. Such as: 1. Being able to fit in here. Sometimes I walk around like I’m in a stranger in my own school so hopefully by the end of the year I’ll find a sense of placement. 2. Earning a GPA in the same range as high school. Unrealistic, maybe, but I’m used to doing much better than I am now, so that’s another concern. 3. Lastly, I’m just going to say I’m concerned about whether or not I will ever get used to the commute I must do to get here. It takes just under an hour and a half to travel here from my house and I hope I learn to deal with it, otherwise I’m never going to want to stay at Baruch.
So far Baruch College isn’t in too much contrast to my high school. Except for the discipline aspect. I came from a Catholic School which had a strict dress code but I actually liked being told what to wear. It definitely took away the hastle of picking out a new outfit everyday. Besides that college, in general, is obviously more lenient than high school. I’m able to eat, drink, chew gum, text, and call people pretty much wherever I want. Also the fact that I only take either two or three classes a day is pretty nice. I was used to seven periods, separated by bells and annoying announcements all day long. At Baruch, you’re on your own and that independence is what I’ve been waiting for.
Hopefully my first year at college helps me transition from a teenager into an adult with responsibilities. Just in the past month I feel like I’ve already matured so let’s see how I am in June.
Okay, see everyone tomorrow!
