I think I’m…

Whats up everybody. My name is Mohammed Jaffery but everyone I know calls me Moe. I’m 18 years old and I’m from Corona, Queens.  I’m supposed to tell you all who I think I am.  Well, I think I’m just an average guy trying to get through college and have fun.  I’m here to get a degree so I can have a job and get paid a bunch of money someday.  The reason I came to Baruch is because I feel that business equals money. So what better school to go to than Baruch, the best business school in NYC.  My top 3 concerns at Baruch are getting good grades/getting my work done, getting accustomed to the college life and also having as much fun as possible.  I need to get my work done or else I will not pass my classes, obviously.  I have to do well in these classes or else I’ll feel like I didn’t try hard enough.  I have to learn to manage my time better.  It hasn’t been a month yet and I feel like I’m behind. This doesn’t bother me too much because I know that I’ll catch up if I am behind.  Its just that whenever I have homework to do, I end up doing something much more fun and then regret not doing my hw.  I definitely want to have fun because then I’ll just be bored here at school all the time.  I love having fun so enjoying myself at Baruch is very important to me.  What makes college different from my high school experience is the freedom and independence.  In high school, teachers would try to make sure you passed all your classes and whatnot.  In college, the professor couldn’t care less if you pass or fail.  The work load is also very different than when I was in high school.  In high school, I could get away with not doing any work and passing all my classes.  I need to develop better study habits and have a “work first, play later” kind of attitude.  My first year of college will change me so that I will have that kind of attitude.  At the same time, I don’t want my whole time at Baruch to be full of work with no time to have fun.  Meeting new people and making new friends is also a big thing.  I’ve met a few people that I get along with so that’s a good start.  Soon enough, I’ll be able to call these people my friends.  To expand on that, I’m thinking of maybe joining a fraternity because they seem like tons of fun and I’ve always wondered what being part of a fraternity would be like.  A frat is a good place to meet future business connections.  If things go well, freshman year will be really fun and I’ll have a great time.  I’m going to try to enjoy myself as much as possible during these 4 years at Baruch.
