My super blog

If you dont know already my name is daniel donis im 18 years old, i live in woodhaven, queens. Queens is alright but i like the city a lot better. Some things i like to do are swim, watch movies, watch baseball, and when i have some down time and i feel like it i play xbox. I came to baruch thinking that i would major in business, like many people do, but i see now that it was a mistake recently i’ve been mulling over the thought of majoring in psychology and becoming a psychologist or go to med school to be a psychiatrist. I dont really like the school that much because other than the swim team it doesnt offer anything that i wouldnt be able to find elsewhere. Now your probably saying why not just transfer? but i can’t for a couple of reasons, one i really like the people on swim team and my coaches. The team is where i met the more interesting people in the first couple of weeks of school. Two I’m paying for baruch out of my own pocket and i have just enough money saved up for next semester and half of next year’s first semester which means that I have to work my ass off to get the other thousand dollars or so. A lot of people take for granted the help their parents give them, normally some people would have their parents paying for their college or they were smart enough to get a lot of scholarship money I unfortunately am not among that group. My family isn’t rich, my parents are both immigrants and we’re spanish, you do the math. Now dont get me wrong my family isn’t poor either, we just struggle sometimes. My parents were good enough to put my sister and i through private catholic school for the past 14 years instead of just going public all the way so that alone took up a good deal of money and I refuse to burden them further by having them pay another cent for my education. Sometimes I wish I was smarter, or a better swimmer so that maybe i could have been somewhere else and possibly even dorming there but whatever I just have to work with the cards im dealt, besides baruch might have some surprises down the road.
