Who Are WE? We're PR3!

To claim I know who I am would not be entirely honest. I’m not sure any of us really know yet. Yes, the majority of us believe that at the age of 18 we are adults. We are all so convinced that we know ourselves and have the right to claim who we are as individuals. I, however, don’t think so. But because I have to, I will try my best in explaining who I am. I’m Isabelle and no I’m not German or Polish. I’m Brazilian. I’m also very loud if I want to be, but mainly I keep my mouth shut. Most of the time I don’t think twice about anything I do or say and am very impatient. I can procrastinate, but will always get the job done.

My first month at Baruch has really opened my eyes to a few concerns I didn’t think I would have. The first, would be time management. I didn’t realize how important this would be until just now actually. I forgot about the FRO Blog and cramped two papers into the night before they are due. Will never happen again, hopefully. My second concern is being able to experience college with all its glory. Its very easy to not get involved with anything because this is a commuter school. Which gives way to my third concern, what to join?! So many clubs and organizations and this and that, its a little overwhelming.

My experience in Baruch so far has been different from high school in some ways but the same in others. It has been different because college is a lot more individual than high school. Which brings me back to that damn time management. I hope I get a grip of that soon, or else I’m in deep, uhh trouble. I guess I can say it’s very different to manage time in high school because well what did any of us even have to manage? College is well, college. We all begin knowing what to expect, yet when faced with something like managing our time, we have trouble doing it.

However, I think as I progress in my first year at Baruch I think I will change and will be able to do something as simple as managing my time. I’m probably exaggerating with all this talk of time management, but really its a challenge for me. I was told that in college a person discovers who they really are, so I’m expecting just that. Maybe not in my first year at Baruch but I think it will begin to happen during this first year. I have no idea how, and can’t even think of how I might. But I’m excited to see what happens in this coming year, so bring it on Baruch.
