Alright lets get this over with. My name is Fahim Ahmed. I am a freshman at Baruch college. I was born in Bangladesh on August 1992. I came to the United States at the age of three with my mother. My father had already been living here for about three years before we arrived. I am more fluent in english than bengali which is kind of sad since I was born there. I barely understand people when I go back and its always hard for me to answer their questions but I try anyway. I enjoy watching football and mma which stands for mixed martial arts for those that don’t know. I like to relax and take it easy and enjoy going outside. I used to stay inside a lot but i realized there is so much more in the outside world that I’m missing out on.
Right now I don’t have too many concerns but if i had to name three they would be passing, not studying enough, and becoming a zombie. I want to pass all my classes and move on. I hate having to retake something because its the same lessons all over again and I would probably go crazy sitting in the same classroom listening to the same lectures from the same professor all over again. I am not the type of person who sits down and studies for four hours. I can not do that because I would find my self reaching for the television remote after about five minutes or so. I have never studied in my life but I need to start doing that for college or I won’t pass. But getting into that study habit brings me to my third concern which is becoming a zombie. No not a flesh eating creature of the night but a mindless being called a “student”. I see some of them around the school sitting in the chairs in the halls but mostly in the *shudders*……library. They look so tired and worn out just like zombies that I’m thinking I hope I never become one of them. But in life you have to make some sacrifices and if being one of them helps me to pass well I guess I’ll have to join the dark side.
High school was a good time in my life. Great friends easy classes and just having fun. My college experience will definitely differ from my high school one. How you ask? Well college is harder and kind of boring which was surprising. I guess Baruch isn’t a party school like some of the sunys my friends go to and they always have the wildest stories. But I guess I have to make the best of it and do what I can while I am here.
My first year of college help me set my goals to be more academically oriented. I plan to study more *sighs* but still have some fun but so far it looks like to be a boring year. Oh well guess I will make the best of it.
