Who am I?

a) Tell us who you think YOU are!

I am my own person.  I do not let others tell me who I am.  Some of my likes include food, music, and animals.  I love all animals, I myself have 3 cats, a dog (Pomeranian), and a goldfish.  As far as music goes, I like classic rock and my favorite song at the moment is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.  As far as food goes, my favorite is Italian, but I love trying new and exotic things.

b) Share your top 3 concerns about your freshmen year at Baruch College and explain why.

During my freshman year at Baruch my top 3 concerns would have to be 1. eliminating bad high school senior year habits, 2. developing better study methods and doing well in all my classes, 3.  Meeting new friends, and having a good time.  I need to get rid of bad high school senior year habits, like laziness, procrastination, and not caring about grades as much.  Studying in high school is different than college, I think that high school reading the chapter, memorizing, and studying 2 days before a test will get you a good grade, but now I think college requires a higher level of thinking and understanding and I will have to develop an improved study method.  Although Baruch has been labeled commuters school, I definitely do not want to go to school and home every day and not do anything on breaks.  Making new friends, getting to know the city better and traveling together, I want to say when I go home that the day was fun.

c) So far, what do you think will make your Baruch College experience different from your high school experience?

The major differences transitioning from high school to Baruch for me was the independence, and the size.  Going to high school always being pressured by parents, having to do everything, and then the parent teacher conferences were the worst, I am thankful there will be no more of those.  I also went to a relatively small high school, where everybody knew everybody, and Baruch is huge.  It is going to take some time getting used to.

d) How do you think your first year at College will change you?

Hopefully within my first year I will develop more as a person intellectually.  Although I entered Baruch with an idea of an accounting major, I am really not sure what I am going to do yet.  I’m just waiting for the right calling, and hopefully Baruch will be able to show it to me withing my first year.  I also think Baruch will turn me into a city person.  I never took public transportation really at all before Baruch, so I am still new to this whole public transportation world.  I intend to learn a lot more about the city and become train savvy.
