My name is David Wong and like everyone here a student of Baruch College. The first semester is almost over and us freshmen are going to finally have a chance to choose our own classes for the second semester. My baruch experience so far has been quite neutral. It hasn’t exceeded my expectations but it also hasn’t gone under. There are many factors that play into this. i have some troubles with teachers and the work but more importantly managing my time which is very crucial as a baruch college student. My first semester so far could had been better. I unfortunately ended up dropping math pre-calc i was really disappointed in myself. I guess i didn’t work hard enough but i also partial think it was the teacher’s fault as well cause i know that over one-third of the class dropped including myself. If i could do the first semester over again i would try to focus more on pre-calc maybe even take tutoring ahead of time, even see if i can change prof but i doubt that. I would also redo history differently. I love history, its very interesting to me but for some reason on both my essay and midterm essay they brought my grade down by at least one letter i didn’t think that was possible. I was quite convinced that my essay would be able to at least meet the standard but a few problems here and there brought it way down but not good enough to fail just yet. All in all i think the first semester was very interesting and i learned a lot from it. Some situations was more trouble than it was worth but i will figure it out and do better hopefully. Since i started Baruch College till now i was constantly worried about whether i would fit in or not. But I remember that I am surrounded by other freshmen like me, my peers. This makes me feel like i can connect with them and reminds me that its not just me that is a baruch freshmen and that i can do this just like they can. So far I believe I gained a little more confidence in college and learned a little about how the system works, but of course there is always something to learn and i will continue to do so along with my fellow freshmen. This concludes my last blog post for FRO. Have a happy and fun thanksgiving everyone. Thank you.

My name is David Wong a freshman in Baruch College, like most of you. I’m going to talk a little about myself now. What do i like best? well i like friends for one, family is a huge one and i like to watch T.V, play video games, taking strolls and above all else….’MONEYYYYY’. I know, i know that sounds wrong but hey what can i say I’m Chinese raised by parents who believe money is key to a happy life, i doubt it but whatever works, right? I dislike Insects especially bedbugs i had them for over a week i couldn’t sleep at all; people who shows no respects for their elders and family and excessive amount of hw. I see myself as a hardworking yet laid back kind of guy. My role in life is to live, to take care of my family and overcome the obstacles that comes my way. My family and friends is the most important to me because we all have ties and memories that are precious to us all and it keeps us together. I’m afraid offffff..ghostss…..yeaaa ghostss… Anyway Doing the things I like is what makes me happy. The first time i got pied over the summer for my summer job was the very first time i felt empowered. It was a very exhilarating feeling. My model in life is to respect my elders, family, and friends in general. I’m afraid of many things besides ghost of course i am afraid of death but who isn’t but more importantly I’m afraid of the future after all you never know whats going to happen. So far Colleges been rough. I didn’t expect to take midterms already but i did. the problem with school isn’t the fact that there’s too much work, its getting used to my new environment and adjusting my hectic schedule. OH, and i don’t think i passed my math midterm test.Thank you for your attention.

P.S. Yea i didn’t pass my math midterm test like i thought, better next time, right?..sighhh

Who am I? My name is David Wong, and i just turned eighteen congratulations i know, know the sad thing is my birthday was on the first day of school, sucks huh? I think of myself as a serious and also laid back kind of guy. Starting out in baruch has really been a life changing experience. i am still having trouble adapting to my new environment. Some of my worries consist of fixing my hectic schedule, all my work and time table is scattered all over the place. Reminds me of the time when i went on the NITRO coaster. Nice and slow then wham full speed ahead and your hang on to dare life you try to duck little to avoid that blast of air and keep your glasses on next thing you know the wind is trying to snap you in half. Anyways im getting off topic here i guess another concern of mine would be what classes i should look forward to in the second semester and how much work ill be getting later on near mid term and such. The experience is definitely different from high school in that you are pretty much responsible for everythingggg and everything in college cost money…a lot of money; for an Asian guy that’s our version of hell, i know i am suffering right now. There’s also the fact that with college making friends or connections is very key and that’s why Baruch tries as much as it does to promote a friendly atmosphere and make us college “kids'” more social. i”m definitely going to learn a lot after this year. i can honestly say that when i reach my sophomore year I’ll look back and say what was i worried about and such. pssh I’d probably still worry about the money regardless what year I’m in…in any case yea this is my 2nd blog i guess? nice to meet you all and everything.

good evening name’s David Wong and this is my first time posting a blog; Nice to met you all.
