Who am I? If I was to answer this question to the very last detail then this blog will probably exceed 500 words. But a few words that define me are: sister, daughter, friend, student, and acquaintance. As a person I would consider myself to be friendly (somewhat, hopefully:)), awkward at times, slightly indecisive, and hardworking.
Of course, like everyone else in LC 18 I’m a freshman at Baruch. When I was in high school, I envisioned college to be something beyond spectacular, like the ones you see on TV, but it fell a bit short. Maybe it’s because a LARGE portion of the students from my high school also goes to Baruch as well. But college is still pretty amazing and slightly different from high school. One of the few things that are pretty obvious is the longer classes (from 45 minutes to hours long) and the club hours. A two hour and thirty minute break is pretty long considering the 4 minutes we get in high school to run to class. At first it was fun to get some free time but it soon got a bit problematic to find something to do. Another concern is probably learning how to get around the school since I have no sense of direction, but the biggest one has to be getting to class on time. I’m always late to class in high school but it was never a big deal but I guess in college it’s a different story.
As of now, I’m not sure yet whether college will change me, maybe it will, who knows. But I’m looking forward to seeing what happens.

Wouldn’t it be great if everything in life was as glittering and golden like what we see on TV? On second thought I would not want that much drama.
Actually, when I came to Baruch everything did seem spectacular compared to high school. You can ask me how long it took for that feeling to wear off.
