My name is Alyssa December and I’m 18 years old. I’m a freshman here at Baruch College. I know exactly what I want to accomplish in my life and I hope that Baruch can give me the tools I need to succeed. At first, I may come off as abrasive but I just take things too seriously sometimes. Never judge a book by its cover. I am extremely careful to whom I open up to and trust.  I have had alot of unfortunate things that have happened to me in my life and I live by the motto “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” and whenever I feel like I cannot get through an obstacle in my life I always repeat “This too shall pass.”  I consider myself very hardworking; I have been working ever since I was 14 years old.  I also don’t like alot things  but one thing that I simply detest is racism.  There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to be prejudice against anyone else, especially in this day and age.  As I continue along in life here at Baruch, I hope I will meet meaningful people and learn and experience life changing things as well.

My name is Alyssa December (yes, that’s my real last name, & no, I was not born in December) and I’m a freshman here at Baruch College.  I really don’t care what people think of me and I hate talking about my feelings, especially with people I don’t trust.   All I want is to be successful and get through college as quickly as possible with spending the least amount of money.  My main concern with going to college here at Baruch is if I don’t succeed.  Other than that, I don’t want to aquaint myself with the wrong people and fail or mess up in any of my classes.  I hope that going to Baruch will be completely different from my high school experience.  In high school, I got mixed up in the wrong crowd and therefore my priorites got mixed up as well.  Now that I’m in college, I’m taking it seriously and managing my time between school and work, much better than I had in high school.  Now that I’m in Baruch, I hope that it will help me with my problems with time management. I’m such a procrastinator and I always leave things for the last minute.  Also, I hope that Baruch will help me gain the skills I need to be a successful restaurant manager.
