The last post, kind of strange but Baruch hasn’t fulfilled my needs, but that’s because I don’t know what my needs are. These next few years the the ones that count the most and I have no idea how to approach them. The easiest thing that I could do is, do it. Get it over with, enjoy it for what it is. It doesn’t have to be like American Pie, because it isn’t going to be but it’s college. I’ll admit, I had high expectations for college in general and I had low expectations for Baruch because I’ve lived in the city my whole life and I know how it was going to be. It’s exceeded my expectations in terms of work load, socially, no. But I’m sure as time goes on, so will everything else. This first semester I think I did well not as good as high school because the grading is harder but, this is the beginning.

If I could do it over again, I would definitely not procrastinate and study for the exams because overall, I haven’t been.

As a person, haven’t changed significantly, but I’m starting to see the path I want to take. I know what I have to do, just not sure how to do it yet. Thanks Clemente and LC. Back to you!

How did I do? Probably pretty descent. I didn’t win the competition but do I honestly care? NO. I read loud, clear and engaged with the audience as I said my M line. Things went well. This is one of my final posts so I don’t have much left to say except, it was fine while it hardly lasted. The monologues were easy, nothing special, not challenging which is a good thing. So this is David Neumann signing off. Back to you.

Death. That’s what these midterms are starting to feel like. My biggest fear yet I don’t actually know what that’s like. If it feels like sleeping, then M’s my murderer. Sad but true. The past months I’m starting to discover what I want to do with my life and now I’m contemplating on whether or not to major in business which is a reason why I chose this school. I hope whatever I choose will bring me a lot of potential to make money and live a great life. Money doesn’t buy you happiness but it does buy you options. Most of the time I feel happier when I have options.  These questions of what I want to do really help me question what are the words that I should go by in order to motivate myself to achieve my dream. Simple, you do what you love and fuck the rest. I can’t credit myself with this because it’s from little miss sunshine but it’s the phrase that guides me the most. What am I going to do with these next years of college? Of my career? Where am I going to be? No obstacles are going to stand in my way. Lately, it’s hard to rely on someone to help you get the job done, basically, you want to get shit done, gotta get it done yourself. Sounds like another phrase.

I’m going to be famous one day, and my name is David. When I was a kid I used to be a shy, little kid who sat at the end of the lunchroom table, now, loud mouth, not really at Baruch though. I’m a very ambitious person and I think things happen for a reason. Basically, the notion is everything that possibly can go wrong does go wrong. My life is movies. Since I was 4 I started watching movies like Good Fellas, terminator, other R rated movies and my parents were okay with that as was I. I’ve always a passion for film and one day I’m going to write them (screenwriter).

My biggest concern about Baruch is studying and getting good grades because I’m probably going to transfer after the first year because I want to go away. Be independent, party as much as I want, day road trips whenever I want. Basically, just be on my own and if I do get bored and have extra time, I’ll work out, play basketball, write. I compare Baruch to a subway because there are so many people and all they do is walk fast!

I think one thing Baruch is going to teach is to worry about myself more and set goals for myself. I love basketball and have never blogged before and it’s kind of retarded. I kind of want to keep writing but I can’t think of what to write about. I went to Eleanor Roosevelt H.S. and have been a city kid my whole life. This is the place to be and there’s a lot of opportunity out there but kind of hard to get it. It’s all about who you know. Basically, you want to get shit done, you got to get it done yourself.
