Hey! So, I may be a bit late in posting this..but better late than never.
Well, as I have mentioned before in my previous post, my name is Carmen and I don’t know who I am exactly just yet.
For the most part, I love to read, relax and spend time with my dogs and my family.
I can honestly say I have way more dislikes than likes. I dislike a lot of things, and they all range from actual tangible things to intangible things. For example, I dislike smoking (of any kind), any type of insect that has more than four legs, heights, anything Ed Hardy, the abuse and degradation of the English language and scary movies.
Overall, I’m still growing and learning..so I can’t really sum this up and give anyone a concrete list of the things I like, the things I dislike and who I am.
I consider change to be something important to me. I like inconsistency and embrace it. I believe it’s what makes life spontaneous, and I get very bored of the same things and people quickly, especially if I dislike them from the start. Independence is also very important to me. I hate being tied down by other people and difficult situations. I like being a free bird and having control over my own choices. That’s why I also have a problem making a commitment to people or becoming too close to someone..I can’t handle the feeling of someone depending on me for emotional reassurance. I feel suffocated, and I usually keep people at an arm’s length, except for a selected few.
I appreciate a lot of mottos and quotes, especially because I love to read..so I usually come across a lot of great sayings. Personally, I love the Persian proverb, “This too shall pass.” It’s a great saying to repeat in one’s head, especially during hard times.
My first year of college will definitely change me. I think I will become wiser and more independent as time passes. Likewise, I will mature and hopefully straighten out my priorities (getting rid of procrastination is a must!). All in all, Baruch life is okay at this moment…still a bit peeved by the fact that I wasn’t able to choose my classes. But, oh well, “this too shall pass.”
