Alice’s Post Numero Uno

Basically, I’m a star. A bright, shining, shooting star and just being near me makes you a better person. So if you don’t think the previous stated facts are true, you’re not welcome on Planet Alice. Well, the Myers Briggs personality test says my type is INTP, which is introverted, intuitive, thinker, perceptive. This is fairly accurate particularly since I hate people. I’m one of those people who like and dislike lots of random things and gets uber excited to find people who have similar taste. I love reading Psychology Today and the wedding/celebrations section of the Times. My eyes sparkle at even the mere mention of couture and clothes (seeing the Academy of Art show for fashion week last Friday was A-mazing). My unicorn Princess Sparkles is never out of my sight for more than a day, so she’s had the opportunity to go on some intense camping trips. At age four my favorite foods included old school Play Doh and jars of paste, but I’ve moved on to a more sophisticated palate of Sour Patch Kids and Trader Joe’s goodies. Music for me is an essential; always gotta have my indie rock. My favorite store is hands down, without a doubt The Container Store since I have a strange obsession with boxes. I think I might sneak a bunny into my dorm ET-style soon because they might just be the greatest things in the world. Actually, I think cute fluffy things are fab in general. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF6PyIML0hI) !!! watch it!!! I hate yucky animals though, especially frogs. The one thing I hate more than frogs are tools in Tap Out shirts, so be warned because I will yell at you for wearing it!

Oh and I most likely WILL judge you since I have an opinion on everything.

My major concerns for freshman year are taking the right classes, learning to like Baruch, and getting involved. I really want to find the most direct path to getting the degree and skills I want so hopefully I’m taking the right classes now and next semester. What really doesn’t help is how I’m not crazy about Baruch. I love living in New York but I just wish I felt more than indifference for the school.  Getting involved is fairly important too since it’d definitely help me like Baruch, but I can be pretty lazy and I prefer doing my own thing.

My college experience is already turning out to be completely different than high school. Even though I still despise the actual work part, I actually attempt to keep up in my classes so far since I feel like I’m actually working towards something. The main differences I do enjoy are the independence you receive as a college student, particularly at Baruch, and the variety in what you can do.

I think this first year at college will give me a clearer vision of what I’d like to do with my life so I don’t end up homeless (biggest fear in the world). These first three weeks have already provided me several real-world experiences as opposed to living at home back in Jersey. I hope to try plenty of different things and consider some new career options, but it might make deciding on one thing even harder. When I was in Kindergarten I told everyone I wanted to be a supermodel (preferably Cindy Crawford) and ever since then I’ve considered myself in many different logical career fields. Going into business seems like the most logical option for me and I’m sure I’d find something I like within a marketing or merchandising field. Although, I still would love to study Egyptology or textile design.
