Who Are WE? We're PR3!

Harry Dana
My Monologue

After being in college for a month or so, I’m starting to learn the system a little bit better. Getting to know the teacher’s and what they expect from me. Honestly speaking I’m not so cut out for college, some people that I know they work, they go out at night and they still pull in amazing grades. These people have no problem to sit in the library for 6 hours at a time. For me to do that I would probably have to get paid. That doesn’t mean that I should give up, it just means either, I have to try much harder then they do or I just have to hope that college doesn’t get much harder then this.
I wanted to go into a little bit about a free write question you gave us to do in class once. You asked us what our personal motto was and I answered “don’t worry be happy”. Interesting point here Bob McFerrin is the true composer of this song. Huge classic rock fan by the way, also love house music, I DJ hear and there, ill get into that, maybe. Anyways I was saying that yes that’s the mottoI like to live by. Although sometimes being to chilled can bite me in the ass. People can take advantage of me; abuse their privileges so to speak. One of my friends been sleeping on my couch for the past 2 weeks I don’t say anything of course, its just one of many examples. It also doesn’t help my procrastination problem. Being worried about paper’s and test that are coming up isn’t all that bad. My problem is I keep telling myself that really all I need to do is graduate and not really care about my GPA so much, I mean its not going to say my GPA on my diploma. If I keep that attitude I’m probably not even going to graduate.
It’s starting to get mad cold outside, everyone is starting to wear their jackets to school and stuff, gets annoying though. Because when it cold outside no matter how much the air conditioning is on inside, its always to warm. Then your stuck with your jacket and you don’t want to wear it but you also don’t want to carry it. So you decide to shove it in your bag, but then your bag just looks massive. Mr. Fink by the way, you’re my role model.

So hear we are almost at the halfway marker of our first semester hear at Baruch. This class is the shit by the way, really chilled kids in this class. My friend was telling me how much he hates all the kids in his block. I honestly don’t have one negative thing to say about any of you guys, hope same goes for me.

I’m the type of person who is on the relaxed side but I like to succeed. My name is Harry Dana and I’m that person who won’t stop until I succeed. Whether it’s in buisness or school I wont let anything stand in my way. I am a little bit of procrastinator but when the time comes that I need to buckle down I usually pull through.

As a freshman in college there is a transition period that in other colleges might be tough, but I Baruch I know that the faculty is helping out the students for the next couple months in order to help our transition period be a little easier. But I’m learning a lot and I’m gaining those tools to succeed in the years to come. Although I do have a couple of concerns about Brauch college.

My top three concerns in Baruch collage is, firstly it being more or less a commuters collage. I’m worried that i’m going to get bored of the atmosphere. I am also worried about the classes that I am going to have to take in order for me to get my business degree, like math for example. But I know if concentrate hard on it I will succeed. And my last concern is the fact that there is very little school spirit. When there is school spirit it brings joy and excitement to school.

Going to High School is quite different then being in a College. My surroundings are far more diverse then a small town high school likes Magen David Yeshiva Celia Esses high school. With a soaring total of only for hundred students. Everyone is practically the same. Baruch College teaches me many new things about other people and other cultures, it is far more diversified. Teaches me the tools I need to succeed in any occupation. Especially in this day and age where there are many different cultures.  It also different in the ways the professors treats their students. The professor student relation is way more professional. Especially that I came from a private school where I had multiple classes which each professor.

Before I went to college I came from a small bubble in a Brooklyn community. After one full year of attending Baruch College I am going to be a totally different person in so many ways. Baruch College really taught me how to manage my time differently. It gave me the opportunity to make my own classes and schedule while at the same time give me the opportunity to make certain times in my week for my job, personal time, and study time. I am able to manage my day much better and much more efficiently because of Baruch College.  Procrastinating in a word in my book which I forgot about because College taught me how not to. College also taught me how to understand different surrounding other then my own. I am able to get a long with so many different people with so many different backgrounds. Rather then just one background in my small private high school.
