Hello, my name is Christine. I don’t really like talking to people I’m unfamiliar with, but when I’m with people I’m close to, I’m loud and a little bit strange. I don’t like saying “hi,” and “bye,” which is kind of odd. I am what some people would call athletic, because I ski and swim, but I’m actually a very lazy person. I love reading, playing video games on my DS, drawing and watching television shows for seven year olds (e.g. Avatar: The Last Airbender, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!). I still consider myself to be a flautist even though I couldn’t really play that well ever since I got braces for the second time towards the beginning of last year. I think I’m pretty uninteresting.
My top three concerns about freshman year at Baruch are keeping up with homework assignments, studying material for class, and passing my classes. I’m concerned about homework because I never did any homework last year in high school, and I didn’t study for any of my classes either, except for AP Psychology (which I, regrettably, did not get the credit for), and I’m an extremely lazy person that gets distracted easily. Everything that I do in college is so major, and counted for, and I don’t want to get a bum job because I did bad in school.
Baruch will be much different from my highschool because, as I have mentioned, I didn’t do any work in highschool, and already, I am a bit overwhelmed with all of the school work. Also, there will be no teachers and guidance counselors to guide us through the years, though the guidance counselors didn’t do crap for me in my highschool. I’ll also have to study from the textbook more instead of just relying on the notes I’ve taken in class because it’s impossible to take down every single word that the professors say. But there is much more freedom to do things.
Honestly, I don’t know how college will change me, but it will probably make me become more mature just because people grow old. I don’t know.
