a. Who do i think i am ? Thats a hard question to sum up in a couple of sentences. But i guess i can say that i am a very mature indpendent 18 year old. Sometimes i feel like its a little too much , but i try to keep it in check. I also see myself as an artist.(dancer, artist, theater goer). I think im very easy going and extremely friendly. I try to be nice even when it’s hard to be. I guess who you are changes and ivolves with age.
b. My top three concerns for freshmen year : 1. maintain 3.0 GPA 2. make friends 3. step out of my comfort zone
1. i need to keep my grades up to keep my scholarship, but also i wouldnt want them to drop even if i didnt have one.
2. making new friends was at the top of my list before the first day. but i think i got exteremely lucky because i already met so many amazing people.
3. stepping out of my comfort zone is tough. but college is letting that happen naturally. here you cant be just in that place that makes you comfortable because theres so many people to interact with and you really dont wana miss out.
c. So far, i think the biggest thing that makes college different from my high school experience is the people. Baruch has so many different people from literaly all over the world. My high school was kind of boring in that sense that the people were the same. And also Baruch has so much to offer that i dont see it ever getting boring. And ofcourse the workload will be different, but thats expected 🙂
d. I think my first year at college will change me for the better. I already have so many cool new friends that i wouldnt have made otherwise. College is also pushing me to make my own dicisions and make my own schedule. The times i study are up to me , the times i dont is also up to me. This will give a lot of room for growing up and becoming independent and responsible.
