If I were to describe myself I would say I am a very realistic and a straightforward person. I don’t like to use my time dreaming something that is unreasonable and beyond my reach. I’d rather spend my dreaming time to socialize with my friends and do something more practical. I am also very independent. And I am just an ordinary girl who wants everything to go smooth in her life.
My top three concerns about my refreshman year at Baruch College are not finishing my homework on time, not succeeding in all my exams and arriving late to classes. I had never had the same amount of homework in high school as in college. In high school homework from history class would maybe consist of six to seven pages but in college its thirty to thirty-five pages. When I was in high school I complained of having too much homework until I came to college and started to know what real work is. If I could go back to twelfth grade I would never complain again. In high school one day or two days before the exam my teacher would review for it but in college nobody will take my hands and walk me through this process anymore. Since I am on my own now I have to be more serious and organized. The subway really got me worry because since we can’t anticipate when an accident is going to happen and on rare occasions when it does happen, lateness is inevitable.
I think every aspect of college experience is different from that of high school. Because the schedule in college is not back-to-back, it allows me after class to absorb in the lesson and understand it. In college I can leave during the middle of a class if I like but in high school I was not permitted to leave the school until I had finish all of my classes. There are more options and choices in college than in high school.
My first year at college will prepare to become better at managing time and still have the time to socialize with my friend. By the end of my first year in college I think I will develop an effective method with which I will use to study for my tests. I will be a more organized person. I will not procrastinate until the night before it is due to write my paper. I will always give myself plenty of time to write a paper because a planned out paper is always better than a rush paper.
