So it’s been a good three weeks so far into my first semester in college. It hasn’t been as difficult as i presumed it would be for the past weeks(I was in the library once for an hour so far, and i was asleep for 30 minutes so only 30 minutes of some hardcore reading) however I can agree with Leon that this weekend the workload really hit me. Today, i chilled at Starbucks for a couple of hours to read up on Ethics and Art History. To answer, “Who do you think you are?” Well for one, I am Moosa. But to scope in, I suppose i am a freshman like the other hundreds at Baruch. I assume that like others in my block, I too would like to prosper academically. The main trouble that I would say i have is managing my time. At some point while going through my friends’ wall, i embarrassedly think, “Alright, are you at any point gonna finish that chapter? Slavery in China is waiting y’know..” So that’s something I would like to work on. I would also like to identify my major. Sure, i have a good 2 years to declare my major, but i feel the need to have at least a sense of direction. Needless to say, College life is on the other side of the spectrum from the chill lifestyle of High School.. but perhaps that’s what college is supposed to be.. perhaps this is the truest way to help you find yourself a little better than good ol’ McDonalds does?
If anyone gets a chance, listen to “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World. The magic of music’s words to make the world a little happier =)

I think you beat my record for time spent in the library this semester.
I just listened to “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World–it’s good but I prefer “Come as you are” by Nirvana in terms of a song that deals with finding yourself and of course accepting yourself.
Happy belated Eid.
