Hey everyone. For those of you who dont know me my name is Ariel Basalely. When i think about who I am, I think I’m an advisor to my close friends. Im usually the person who my close guy friends can come up to me for advice with whatever they want whether its relationships, how to manage their time, what they should choose. Everything always differs. Another way in which i can describe who I am is a role model to my two year old nephew. He always copies what I do and I’m the closest uncle he has to his age, and I hope i can be a good enough influence on him
There are a few things in which I feel concerned about for my first year at Baruch. One is maintaining a good average. Its been a lot tougher for me with all the assigned reading and all the papers that I’ve been doing for ENG 2100. Its extremely overwhelming for me and it is the cause of my lack of sleep if you all want to know the truth. My next concern is probably that I wont enjoy the classes I’m taking at all. Thank god this quarter I have at least one class in which I have a somewhat interest in but otherwise I find my courses to be extremely boring. My third concern is that from my classes that aren’t lectures, I hope to give a good vibe to the teachers who will know my name throughout the semester, otherwise I will be paranoid for the whole year
For sure, my high school experience will be completely different from my Baruch experience. The reason for this is that my whole entire school contained only 400-450 students meanwhile there are about 1800 freshmen in Baruch. It was good to know that every face was familiar to me throughout high school, but I always enjoy meeting new people as I already have. Otherwise, I came from a Jewish school that had a required dress code and different hours than Baruch College has. The fact that I can go to school wearing whatever I want and the fact that my breaks are longer make Baruch extremely different for me
Baruch is for sure going to change me. The reason for this is because I will be more motivated to study knowing that college counts a lot in terms of everything. It very likely may be that my occupation in life can result from an internship or job offer that I got from Baruch. It will also change me knowing that I have a lot to see and experience as I go to college.
