LC 18

Ever since I have started college, I have developed a new fear and that is of revolving door. It has never been a big deal since the only time I’ve use a revolving door is at the mall, not daily like in Baruch. I didn’t expect there to be a revolving door at every building, the vertical campus, the 23^rd building, and the library!

My friends would find me a little queer, who would be afraid of doors. But when I see the people at Baruch spinning those doors, the door seem as if it was going a mile per sec. Why would people spin the doors so fast? It wouldn’t hurt them to go a little slower, I would think as I witness it happen. Sometimes I wonder if other people feel the same way or maybe it’s just an abnormal fear of mine. But when I go into a revolving door that is spinning incredibly fast, I fear that I will injure myself. I fear that my finger would get jammed, or an arm would get crush, or that I wouldn’t realize my hair caught in between the doors and I would end up losing a patch.

In Baruch there are stickers pasted on the regular swinging doors, saying to use the revolving door. I find that ridiculous, the swinging doors are more convenient and safer in my case. But to avoid the worst case scenario, I always try to take caution before stepping through the door. Sometimes when it’s going too fast I would wait awhile for it to slow down before I step in. It could be embarrassing when there is a line of people waiting behind you but I think it’s worth it to be safe.

This picture is a treble chef and base chef forming a heart. This picture shows that I really love music and I feel that life would be very dull without it. Even when I forget to bring my phone to school, I always make sure that my music player is in my bag. It is probably one of the few things I never leave my house without. It helps me stay awake at night, or sleep when I can’t. Music is a necessity in my live and it just won’t be the same without it.

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.
