First of all, I am a freshman, totally fresh in both college and educational system. And Blogging too!

I think I am merely a follower right now. A few months back, right after I graduated from my high school in Malaysia and came to the United States, I kept  thinking of what would be my next phrase of life.  Career or College? With not much determination, I simply chose to pursue a tertiary education since almost everyone in my Facebook’s friend list does that! “I don’t want to be left out  and I want to be cool.So,I want to go to college too.”, “I want to stick with my best friend forever!”, those were what I thought back then but of course the second one didn’t work out. So, I am now in Baruch College but I have no clue of what i am going to achieve here.

The top 3 concerns that are bugging me a lot right now would be choosing a club,time management and the major i have to declare later. I was a very active club member in my high school. I took part in Red Crescent Society(also known as Red Cross) and an organization, which was alike to Student Government but it managed only clubs. These 2 club and organization brought me a lot of fun to my high school life. Therefore, i hope i can participate in at least one club in Baruch. I need a good time management to make sure that I make time for study, work , entertainment and clubs(if any). Choosing major is really a tough decision and almost every freshman face the same problem like mine. I hope that I could find what I am interested in as soon as possible.

Baruch has more building and bigger classroom than my high school. Other than that, my high school consisted mostly Chinese students and has around 1200 students but Baruch has students from different part of the world. Sharing opinions and discussing class material with different races is really a brand new experience to me. However, as i mentioned before, I think that joining a club will provide me a chance to have different perspective on this school.

Since the educational system in America is different from Malaysia, i have some hard time to accustom myself to the new environment and sometimes it is hard for me to understand native speaker who speaks English  fluently. But in one year, I anticipate that Baruch can help me out and change me into a more diligent and independent person.
