Ah…already here at the last post. I didn’t really have any expectations for Baruch… it seemed like a school to just get in and get out. And to me, it still is. But I’ve met some great people this semester and I’m extremely happy that we had the freshman seminar classes so I guess it exceeded my low expectations;]

My first semester went by relatively well. I’m glad for most the professors I got even though I didn’t get a say in it. Although I had to drop a class because of it’s difficulty, I’d still say it was a good run.

1)I would definitely study more and procrastinate less. 2)Be more out going and meet some damn girls! 3) Repeat 1 and 2. 😀

I can’t say I have changed alot academically or socially…but then again that’s me. I know this isn’t supposed to be in the answer but I really appreciate you guys: Ari and Ben(No homo). Thanks for all the help, setting up everything and being so chill.

My name’s Andy, and I’d like to say I’m a pretty relaxed and laid back guy. I am often friendly but probably come off shy until you get to know me better.  I like to exercise, listen to music, and learning new things. The things I loathe would probably be losing(at almost anything) and any school related work. The most important thing/person in my life would be my mother. Words cannot signify the love and happiness she has given me.

There are a few things I am afraid of: Bugs, Ghosts, and Failure. I would go more in depth but that would just lead to me rambling…and writing more. My family and friends brighten my day, without them I’d be depressed all the time. My view on school at this point in time was that it was good and easy(Not so much anymore).

A moment in time where I felt completely embarrassed was when I stepped on dog feces and I didn’t know about it until my entire classroom was complaining about me. For a moment of empowerment…I’d like to say every time I finish a workout just because I’m all pumped up. My favorite motto would be “Life is too short to be small”. I just think it sounds cool. My first year of college will definitely change me into a more hard working person because I wouldn’t make it without finishing my work.

Lastly, things are going okay at this moment. Could be better, but it’s not at it’s worst. My math class is totally killing me with work so I have to find a way to keep up with it. Even so, I’m still enjoying college because of the freedom and some new friends I’ve made. I hope this is acceptable as a monologue because I have no idea how to do it.

a)I am the son of a loving father and mother. I am friends with some of the greatest people on earth. I’m the happy and outgoing guy who has an addiction to the gym. That sounds weird though…not many people would think going to the gym is addictive, so I guess I’m weird! My life revolves around staying healthy and family/friends. So I guess you could say I’m not exactly school oriented.b. Share your top 3 concerns about your freshman year at Baruch and explain why.

b) 1)Maintaining a decent GPA is my top concern at Baruch. In high school, I breezed by classes with A’s by doing the bare minimum, so I wasn’t exactly “challenged”. But now that I’m in Baruch, I have no idea how hard the work is and how I’ll respond to the amount of work this semester. making lifelong friends, and getting involved in some extra curricular activities.  2) My second concern is how hard it is to make friends in a commuter college. I have only been in the school for about a week and have yet to make more than a few friends. I am hoping it will get easier as the year progresses. 3) Getting involved in non academic activities is important but it seems to be really hard for me. I think it’s because I’m such a sloth. I never want to do anything outside my schedule that requires more work.

3) The first thing that comes to mind in difference between my high school and Baruch is people. In my high school, the majority of people were lazy, inattentive students who barely did work. It is the exact opposite in Baruch. For the last week or so, all the people I’ve seen are competitive and hard working. So, the change of environment is undeniably the biggest change for me.

4) I think my first year in college will straighten up my work habits. I have always been a procrastinator in the past, because the teachers always gave me some leeway on late work. Now that I’m in college, the professors are completely serious about deadlines and don’t seem to bother with late work. It will be a huge change and I don’t expect it to be a smooth transition.
