a) who do you think you are!
so basically, my name is Mayank Suneja. i was born in New Delhi, India and spent most of my childhood years in India. i only moved to NY about 5 years ago. i have to say, Damn, its a big change! but a change that i definitely like and have gotten used to. So about me, i am a very nice and friendly person. i am overly optimistic about everything, and to be honest, my positive attitude always helps me get through hard situations. My family and friends mean a lot to me. i am always there for anyone if they need any help. Ever since i scored a really lucky goal, while playing soccer in 6th grade, i have become like a huge soccer fan. i play and watch soccer SOO MUCH! its like such an important part of my life. my favorite team is MANCHESTER UNITED, an english team, because they are just the BEST! 
b) Top 3 concerns about freshman year
1) Well, one of my concerns really is my SOCIOLOGY class! i will show you an example of what people do when my teacher talks. http://www.blog.joelx.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bored-class-average-teacher.jpg
ok im kiddin, its not THAT bad! but i always seem to get lost in my own thoughts in that class and can never concentrate. what really bothers me is what grade i end up getting! i am really hoping for a 3.5+ GPA and hope this class does not affect that!
2) Another concern for freshman year for me, and i am sure everyone else feels the same, is getting adjusted to life and the environment in college. Since Baruch is for the most part, a commute school, i guess i wont be getting the complete “on campus” college experience, but this doesnt seem so bad either. Out in the middle of the city, that works as well! i definitely want to get involved in school activities (PARTIES 
), like clubs (PARTIES ) and shows (PARTIES ) and stuff (PARTIES )! lets see how that works out.
3) Another HUGE concern for me is the amount of reading that we are assigned in classes. i am really not used to reading this much. in high school, all u had to really do was go on sparknotes.com and ur good to go! but here, u ACTUALLY have to read or u will be lost in class! i guess i gotta get used to that as well. i do NOT like reading 
c) How is baruch experience different from high school experience?
– When i was in high school, all i used to say was “aah, i wanna go to college already” and now since i am in college, i say sometimes “aah, i miss high school, i wanna go back.” But this transition is a very important part of our lives. But ive realized, college is so much different from high school. Everyone is so independent in college. no teacher is gonna remind you to do your homework everyday or remind u that we have a test coming up! u can leave whenever you want, come back whenever u want, no restrictions, everything is ur own decision. and to be honest, i really like this change. SO FAR! 
d) How do u think your first year will change u?
– My first year of college is already changing me. I am getting less sleep everyday, skipping meals and spending a lot of time READING (something i BARELY ever did in high school). however, optimistic that i am, i feel that these changes will help me become more mature and overall develop a better personality.
