Hi everyone! I’m Shannel Kim. I’m not much of a shy person. I’m pretty talkative and friendly to people I like but if I don’t like you, then…you’ll definitely know. Hehe… I really love funny people. I think sense of humor is the best trait anyone can have. I love laughing and having a good time. (Which basically means school is not my favorite place….)
My biggest concern for my freshman year at Baruch College would be time management. Not even a month has passed and I’m already behind with my school work. I’m the biggest procrastinator ever. I waste time on the computer and just roam around and by the time I set my mind to doing my homework, it’s time for bed. Another concern I have is meeting new people, but at the same time keeping in touch with my old friends. I like meeting new people because it’s great to know many different types of people but it’s hard to get close to someone without growing apart from someone else. My third concern would be actually liking Baruch College. I can’t decide if I like the school yet since it’s only been a few weeks but so far, it’s not that bad. The classes and (some) professors are great but commuting to school is such a pain in the butt. I knew I should have gotten a dorm…stupid me.
My experience at Baruch College will definitely be a lot different from my experience at my high school. For one, sitting through classes that are over an hour long is something that I’m not used to. I thought sitting in class for 40 minutes was bad enough. Also, college is going to be a lot harder since I have more responsibilities as a college student. Unlike high school where teachers and counselors held my hand throughout my four years there, there’s no one but myself in college to motivate me and remind me of what I have to do.
I was never much of a “city-person,” but after my first year at Baruch, I think I’ll know my way around the city a lot better. I think being in college will help me to better realize that the future is closer than it seems. Overall, graduating college is a must. I know it’s going to be hard but I know it’s going to open many doors for me along the road. Okay, time to sleep…finally!
