Hooray First Blog Post #1 and Countinnnggg……

Ah who are you. Quite a loaded question i suppose. while thinking about that one must realize the subjectivity of that idea. Who am I? To myself I’m an interesting undergraduate student who is a pretty decent bass player and knows how to crack a joke when necessary. To my father I’m someone can’t be “comprehended”. To my mother I’m a leech but overall extremely helpful, in stature and in work ethic. To my girlfriend I’m unintelligible. To me my girlfriend is unintelligible. Overall, I have no idea who I am other than who you think I am. (just please like me :P ) Oh, and i was born November 6 1993 in Brooklyn and I love jazz in an obsessive way.

B. 3 Biggest Concerns of Baruch

1. Not reaching my full potential in my own eyes (fuck everyone elses)

2. Becoming complacent and not participating in thing i want to participate in.

3. Getting really high the night before finals and waking up 6 hours late with a dead horse on my comforter and Justin Beiber next to me (highly likely)

C. Why high school is different from college

Honestly i was the smartest adolescent in my high school, bar none. Unfortunately with that intelligence came an enormous amount of complacency. Don’t get me wrong I received accolades based upon my academic understanding, but my lack of a dedicated work ethic still haunts my subconscious and honestly i know the reason I did not graduate as valedictorian was my lack of dedication in work. However, I am no longer dependent on my teachers to feed me knowledge. There is only one thing standing between me and an understanding of a topic and that is myself. I now realize that I have an enemy bigger than my apathy, it is my thirst for knowledge. I now know that I will never satiate my hunger for understanding and that provides me with an enormous pride.

D. Changes

I think i stated the majority of changes in my last paragraph. Overall complacency is my biggest issue and I plan on tackling that with an approach that is in many ways suicidal but also one i have a huge measure of faith in. As well I’m gonna be meeting people who are just as wrapped up in work as I am. I welcome that.
