Who is Calvin? He is someone who sucks at blogging. He is 18 years old but doesn’t feel like an adult quite yet. He was born in Manhattan and lived in Brooklyn throughout his life. Calvin attended Madison High School and chose Baruch over Hunter and St. Johns. Let me rephrase who is Calvin. I am Calvin. I am an introvert, and as such, likes to spend my time doing solo activities. You will often find me skating, running, swimming, or taking pictures by myself. But that doesn’t mean I am anti social. I also do not know what else to write about myself so let me end there.
Baruch College feels and is a lot bigger than high school. As a freshman, I am quite often lost on how the college works and where anything is located. The way the classes are structured also seems a bit strange but I am slowly adjusting to it. My main concern as a freshman is learning how to keep track of all my classes(dates when papers and such are due). Another concern of mine is to kill off the senioritis that plagued me throughout senior year. Since this post requires me to think of another concern, I will try to pull one off the top of my head…..I suppose making friends and networking would be my one other concern. And thats that.
Baruch College feels almost like high school yet feels completely different. I still have that nagging dull feeling that seems to put me to sleep quite often in class that followed over from high school. Yet, unlike high school, the way I learn is quite different, a lot of work comes from self-study. I expect that as time goes on, I will probably develop a new style of learning that isn’t all blank memorization.
Unlike high school where I could sort of predict my attitude for next year, I can not foresee myself by the end of the year. It is probably because everything is too different but….I expect myself to feel more accomplished if that means anything. And maybe more responsible?….not sure about that one
