I think I’m a fun loving, at times easily irritated and a “go-with-the flow”type of person. I’m thoughtful, considerate, responsible and also a very lazy person! I’m not a very girly girl; I love wearing sweats, dressing down and not doing too much makeup however there are days where I love doing the exact opposite.It’s fun to roleplay and be someone you’re not but only on certain days. Speaking of identities, I identify myself as a Muslim Pakistani who is residing in NYC trying to absorb everything around myself as well as retain what I have learned in my culture and family values. I love meeting new people and making new friends so hopefully colllege will introduce me to all of that.
b. My top three concerns at Baruch being a freshman are : not making new friends that will stay with me for a long time, getting lost in the crowd and not making an impact in my life or anyone else’s.it is very important for me to make an impact in my life even as a freshman because it will be a year to remember.Another one of my concerns is that I will lose track of my homework assignments and bomb tests or quizzes. Since college is so different from highschool,the transition might be a big challenge for me but I hope I can learn from my mistakes early on.
c. My high school experience was a really different one from my initial response in college because of obvious reasons; not knowing everyone at school or seeing familiar faces because my high school constitutes of 400 people where everyone knows each other. It was very hard in the beginning to get used to the overwhelming transportation and commute as well as the buildings of Baruch in the city.
d. I think my first year at Baruch will change me in many ways; i willl definitely have become more exerienced in terms of social life and interacting with people of various backgrounds being that baruch is located in NYC, the melting pot of all cultures. I hope to learn a lot more than just school subjects in college but I hope to learn about social aspect of life such as meeting and interacting with new people as well as time management and personal issues and how to handle them properly.
