Oh Baruch… where do i begin? you started off quite terrible might i say. but you ended up being pretty good. i mean the teachers may need help, the work load is rather heavy, but i’ve had fun. i made some really cool new friends. and without them i probably would hate baruch truthfully. i wish my grades were higher, i wish my schedule wasnt so weird, and i wish that the people i met in college from my LC will stay with me through out college. if i could re-do my first semester i def would try harder, study more and what not but at the same time i feel like this was going to happen. its a new environment, new teachers, etc i have to get used to things and how they teach. my grades may not be amazing but im hoping for atleast a B. >.< have i changed since baruch started? i actually think i’ve matured. i may still find kinky jokes funny but who doesnt? but mentally ive grown, being able to understand more and realize whats around me. whats oustide of staten island. not saying ive never been to the city and what not, but not everyone is as bad as staten island people are lOL.

today i was talking to some people from our LC. and when they told me they all wanted to transfer it made me so sad. to know this bond that ive made with them is about to be broken. yeah we can keep in touch. but we just started. /: and whats worse is that i know if they leave im stuck in this poop hole by myself! i dont want you guys to go! you know who you guys are ]: you guys are completely amazing and without you guys i would hate to come to school. i love our random food days, i love tuesday and wednesdays when we work out at the gym together, i love allllll our conversations we’ve ever had. we never had like one dull day. our convos are something im gonna always remember. we would laugh till our stomachs would hurt and to the point we cant breathe.

this is making me sad writing this. oh baruch.

youve done me well kind of… hahaha.

LC26. WE’RE THE BEST LC EVER<3 😀

so im in class right now where i really should be learning. whats all this nonsense with derivatives, chain rules, and “important” stuff like that. gosh i hate being back in precalc. i took precalc my junior year and did quite amazing i might add. im asian math and me just go together. but as soon as i came to baruch, math no longer made sense. NO. the stuff is NOT HARD AT ALL truthfully. but i dont remember it. it was so long ago. but on top of that what makes it worse is that they way its being taught makes no sense truthfully. i have to look back on my old highschool notes to understand everything. that goodness for susan e wagners awesome math teachers. how is it that i took ap calc my senior year and im back in pre calc. stupid cuny assessment test. you dont prove anything. -.- i should be in regular calc not precalc. whats the point of taking ap calc if i dont even get put into calc again or something but being demoted to something lower. okay okay i understand i got a 1 on my test but SERIOUSLY -.- this is me ranting and actually entertaining me from my boredom in class. and minnie is sitting next to me and she was laughing cause im doing this.

i really like money. so im going to post randomly about interesting things hopefully? maybe everytime i see something interesting? or every class i have? lol

something smells good in this class. its like food being cooked or something. i wonder if baruch has any culinary courses that’d be awesome. my dream job is to be a food critic<3 i should’ve signed up for culinary school i love to cook and i love food.

oh college life. you’re not living up to your expectations.

surprisingly the mono presentations wasnt that bad. it was okay i guess. it was interesting and entertaining hearing everyones monos. i imagined it being very different like some what play like instead we just legit read it off the paper. so yeah it was a lot easier then i expected. my monologue may still have been bad but presenting wasnt that bad lol. martin and christian won. yay them! lol. everyone had creative ones cause LC26 is just so awesome [:

it was the first day of school and i have never felt so alone. i had no friends in my class. and all my old friends in baruch were in different LCs. college isnt what i expected. baruch is supposidly just like wagner. but its really not. my biggest challenge in school right now is probably making friends but its getting easier. also adjusting to all this new school work is a big challenge, balancing all the work and readings we get with midterms. its like just kill me now or my head exploding is gonna kill me anyway.  but with every bad thing theres a few good things too. we always have to keep the balance in order. my boyfriend, new and old friends, food, shopping and many other random things make me happy. im enjoying the city life of college. the long breaks and the freedom. i dont even have to ask to urinate anymore, i can just go! sometimes “you must give up what you could lose in order to gain what you could not lose” even if you dont wanna lose it. i dont have a personal motto but i believe in “no regerets” and “everything happens for a reason”. I have to learn that everything im going through right now is for a reason and it will mean something later on.

i really dont know if i did this right… lOL. -.-” fail. but atleast i got it out of the way [: first poster again c[:

why not be the first to make a blog for LC26? thats who i am. i like to blog i like to write and just let feelings out. blogging isnt just for attention or to socialize but a way to vent. who am i? im chinese. i was born in manhattan raised in brooklyn and currently located in staten island. im 18. i love to eat, i play handball, i have an unforgetable yet annoying laugh etc. characteristics; short, chubby, smart, nice, different, etc. theres too many things that can be said by me to tell you who i am. but the better question is to ask you. WHO AM I? i can honestly say only a handful of people really know the real me. i am who i am.

concerns at baruch? before i came into college i wasnt expecting it to be the way it is now. everyone in wagner goes to baruch. “or so said” and that baruch is going to be exactly like highschool. but now that im here i feel like no ones here. and that this is nothing like highschool. i just want to go back. and feel like i made a name for myself in highschool and now starting college with tons of new people. makes it so much harder. not knowing where to go or what to do. especially like most of us. we do have old friends in baruch and those are the people we cling on to. so first concern not being able to make friends. we cling to the old its hard to make room for the new. plus i have trust issues so my anti-socialness is going to play a role. 2nd concern that i wont be able to make a name for myself like i did in highschool. ranging from being the Student Organization (Government) Vice President, Girls Varsity Handball Captain, Key Club Secretary, Asian Club President and all the countless things i was apart of. i dont have the drive and courage to do the things i once did before maybe because i have no one to go through the journey with me. and 3rd. im afraid of the new transition of school work. think about it everytime we enter a new school year people go its so much harder then last year. but it always ends up being the same or something. like “junior year” in HS is the hardest supposidly. but seriously my senior year was the hardest lol.

i feel as of right now my college experience is going to be rather lonely compared to my HS experience.

hopefully my college experience will help me “expand my horizon” and push me out of my comfort zone to accomplish the things i know i can.

post one. COMPLETE! [: (awkward turtle-no responses needed) xD
