Who am I? Every time someone asks me that question, I really don’t know what to say. I can say I’m funny, but am I funny to everyone? I think I’m smart, but there’s always going to be someone smarter. I can say that I’m an athlete, but there’s people who say volleyball is not a sport. I think I’m pretty honest with everyone but then there’s always there’s people who criticizes you for being too brutally honest. I can say anything and everything and there will always be something to counter it. But, you know what, I don’t care. I KNOW that I’m funny, smart, great athlete, and honest, out of many other qualities I have. I’m CONFIDENT of me, just me. If someone insults me, yea it will probably hurt for a second, but then I’ll let it go because no one can bring me down. I love the way and how I am and no one can change me.
Going into college, I had some concerns right of the bat (knowing how I am!) and they have not changed. My three concerns are getting to class on time (even if I’m in the building already), doing the readings, and wondering if I’m going to fall behind schoolwork with volleyball taking up a lot of my time. I have poor time management skills and it’s hard for me to time the precise time to leave. The trains are unpredictable and the lines in the restaurants are ridiculously long!! Therefore, I’m always late. To any place. All the time. -_- Second, the readings. I HATE reading. Well, hate is a strong word so I dislike reading. It bores me unless i REALLY enjoy the book from the beginning. I judge the book from its first 3 pages and if it doesn’t grab me, I’m done with it. There’s A LOT of reading to do and honestly, I’ve done maybe 10% of the reading assignment, if your lucky. Yes, I know, bad Rebecca! But it’s hard to sit down and read. No, I don’t have ADD or ADHD or A anything else, it’s just I don’t like it. Lastly, volleyball is the love of my life. I’m obsessed with it and I enjoy every minute of it but it’s time consuming and as I stated earlier, I suck at time management so you already know. I have no time to hang out with my friends anymore or sit on the computer/TV for hours and hours. It’s a little saddening but I know I’ll get through it somehow.
Baruch has definitely been different from H.S, especially in the reading department. There’s more free time and you can choose the schedule of your choice. There’s no uniform anymore!! The one thing I don’t like is the fact the professors aren’t as concerned about you, especially in the lecture classes since there’s over 100 students. I like the one on one interaction I used to have, but I guess I’ll get used to it. I miss the fact that everyone knew my name and I had many, many friends. I consider myself an extrovert but it’s hard to meet new people for me. But, that’s part of life.
