Who am I?

My name is Jon and I’m a freshman at Baruch college. I’m a pretty good student, i occasionally enjoy going to class and learning new things. I love sports, sports are my life. My favorite sport is football. It’s really hard on Sundays trying to do work when there’s 14 games going on and i can’t watch them because i need to do some stupid essay. On the weekends, i love going out and having a good time with my friends. Since i live in the city, there’s places all around for me to go and I’m looking forward to what will come next.

One of my first concerns this year at Baruch is the amount of work i’ll get. I’m not very good with keeping up with work until last minute. I need to change my work ethic and learn how to stop procrastinating and do my work before the night it’s due. Another concern i have this year are the tests. Usually, tests aren’t a huge deal if you don’t do well on a couple per semester. Now, each test is huge and there’s so much pressure on me to do well on every single test. My final concern is being able to say i got the full college experience. I have a couple friends who go to Baruch as well. However, a lot of my friends went to party schools and they’re telling me what a good time they’re having and i wish i had that also. Baruch is mainly a commuter school, there’s no true campus where people live. I need to do my best to stay active and find things to do to interact.

Baruch is definitely different than high school. At Baruch, everything is about me. Whether i go to class or not, that’s for me to decide if i want to learn and not take each class hour for granted. I make each choice here at Baruch, which makes me feel more independent and on my own. I don’t see my family every day anymore, so I’ve learned to take care of myself and gone to appreciate the things i used to have.

My first year of college will change me a lot, hopefully for the better. I hope after a year, i will be able to be more comfortable speaking in front of a large group of people, making a speech. My classes all have a business aspect to them, so i hope i will learn new ideas that go along with business. I will be more independent after this year, because i will be living without my family for a year. In addition, i will have a new group of friends which i will have enjoy my freshman year at Baruch college with.
