a) Tell us who you think YOU are!

Who I think I am… I don’t know. I think there’s far too many things to list here in this blog, and it’s rather exhausting to try to do so. My friend says I’m a pessimist, but I consider myself a realist. I care a lot about my loved ones, I guess that’s kind of a give-in for everyone here, but I feel like it’s an important part of who I am. I don’t like to burn bridges, meaning, once I care for someone I don’t let them go easily. I really like to laugh.. And, I don’t know what else to say. Oh, I actually like free-writing. I really wish that I was creative. I feel like, when it comes to being creative I hit a brick wall. I hate wearing jeans. If I could I would go to school in sweats, but I.. Don’t know why. Being in the city makes me feel like I really shouldn’t be wearing sweats. I’m scared easily, and I’m really afraid of pigeons and squirrels; luckily I haven’t seen many since I moved in on Ludlow.


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


One of my top three concerns at Baruch is choosing the right major… For obvious reasons. I don’t want to be stuck with a major that isn’t going to do anything for me economically, but at the same time I want to be happy and enjoy what ever I end up doing. My second concern is keeping my grades up. I really want to do well at Baruch, and I’m worried that I’m going to slack off. I’m extremely lazy, but I don’t want that to affect my grades the way it has in the past. My third concern is choosing classes.. I have no idea what to choose or how to choose.

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

Dorming definitely makes my Baruch College experience different from my high school experience. I no longer have the comfort of going home to my mother cooking dinner and my father sitting and watching the evening news. I have to budget my own money and figure out my own meals. The amount of freedom that college has is incredible. I’ve also realized that this freedom comes with a lot of responsibility. If I know I have plans for an upcoming weekend, I’ll do my work ahead of time so that I don’t have to worry about it later. I also have to find the willpower to go ahead and read the assigned pages even though the professor won’t really assign any handwritten work to accompany it.


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

I don’t think it will change me much asides from the fact that I’ll learn how to better manage my time. I’ll definitely meet more people and have other sets of friends that I’ll make, but as far as my personality and my morals and values – I doubt that those will change much.
