LC 14

Hi! My name is Camille Hart. I am eighteen years old. I like to think I am a really kind person. I try to be easy to get along with. I love to have fun and to be relaxed and to just enjoy life. I like for everyone around me to be happy. If your uneasy or troubled about something it will take a toll on me as well. At the same time, I don’t like to constantly worry about things. I don’t wanna wake up one morning and think, “What did I do with my life?” I hate wasting time. Regrettably, I can be really shy sometimes. I love music, singing, dancing, and choreographing and I’m pretty sure the arts is my true passion- but I never pursued it for some reason. But I think that’s one of my flaws, a lack of confidence  stemming from a fear of failure. But let’s not get too deep here. Anyways, I’m a really motivated person and I have a desire to succeed so that should help me in the near future.

My top three concerns about freshman year are: going about it all wrong, not making strong bonds with people, and having the same “something’s missing” feeling that I had in high school. The first one, going about it all wrong basically means starting off my first semester wrong. I don’t want to make a bunch of mistakes in my first semester just to get it right in the next one. I want to take advice from others now to avoid the common mistakes later. My next concern is not making strong bonds. I want to meet friends who I’ll have strong bonds with. Not just acquaintances I see during school, but people who I can confide in. Lastly, having the “something’s missing” feeling. In high school I had a bunch of close friends. But I only had one best friend, and when she moved away at the start of high school I felt kind of abandoned. Whenever something good or bad happened, I could only tell her over the phone because she was never there with me. They say in college, the friends you meet will be your friends for life… I wanna see if that’s true.

I know my Baruch College experience will be different than high school because the location is totally different. In high school, I rode the school bus and knew most of the kids from grade school. Mostly everyone was from Hicksville or Westbury. In college, people are from all over and have been raised differently and taught differently. Everyone did not go to the same elementary or middle school. Plus I commute now, no more cheese buses.

My first year at college will probably make me more outgoing and I’ll probably learn alot more about myself.
