LC 14

Hi! It’s Farzana. Hmm who am I? I’m very shy at first and I probably wont be the first person to say hi. I think I’m the laziest person you’ll ever meet. I also procrastinate a lot and always look for the easy way out of almost everything. If someone told me to choose a day with my family or friends, I would chose my family in a heartbeat. I enjoyed my high school years and I hope college is even better. Besides that I’m your typical 18 year old who loves the city.

My first concern about my freshman year at Baruch are my grades and homework because I’m easily distracted. For example, I’ve been working on this blog for like couple of hours now only because I got bored and went to do other things. Also all the reading we have to do for homework doesn’t really help me learn that much because I never remember everything when I need to. My second concern is that I’m scared of failing because in college everything is on you. There are no counselors or teachers helping you along the way. You have to do everything yourself with the help of friends and family. My third concern is wasting my dad’s money. He’s paying for everything since I’m getting NO financial aid. He wont even let me get a part time job because he thinks I wont pay attention in class as if I’m not doing that already. So whoever has a job right now consider yourself lucky.

So far, Baruch isn’t much different from high school besides the professors. You would think that having all the same classes with about 19 other people would seem different but it isn’t. One of my friends last year had the same exact schedule as I did so I was with her the whole day except for lunch. Oh the fact that we have so much time to get from one class to the next is great because waiting for the elevator sucks sometimes.

I hope my first year in college changes my time management skills. Also I hope it just helps me grow as a person. Well that’s all I guess. Time to start on the english essay =]

Hi I’m Hearan! -or Amy =)
First, I think I am really excited to finally be in college. High school was fun and all, but I was looking forward to it so much. 😀 

I really can’t explain how I think of myself. But I guess I’ll start off with my personality. I will most probably not go up to you and say hi- that’s if I don’t know you already. I am a shy person but not throughout a whole relationship. I tend to be outgoing only to people who I feel comfortable with. Also, I’m really competitive when it comes to grades. But not for sports or anything like that. 😛

I tend to have good relationships with people around me- and hope so this semester too!

SO… I think I am… a relaxed person, not as outgoing as others but just as fun and interesting.

My concerns are, however, that I sometimes procrastinate at the wrong times. I would keep up with everything else like reading and homework, but when exams and papers are due, bad habits overtake. 🙁  Also, I’m concerned that besides studying and school, I wouldn’t pay much attention to. I have commitments to activities oustide school as well as family, but worried that I might not be able to care for it as much as I used to.

And last but not least, I want to earn a great start in school (good grades). I don’t want to fall behind in the very first semester. 🙁 So if all goes well, I’ll get that dream job at PWC!

I like Baruch alot. 😀 -so many clubs (unlike my high school), fun classes (pscychology class is so awesome), and more freeeedom! High school years were long, but I feel that college years will go by quickly.

Hopefully, attending college will help me to mature and learn more. I’m still young but time will fly:D Other than that, I’m looking forward to the friends I’ll make during the years and discover the fun behind everything!
