Who am I?
In a word, simple.
I grew up watching scifi shows and singing (Filipino affinity for karaoke and such). I have a great appreciation for exotic cuisines (because my parents took me with them when they went flying all over the place to find and eating absolutely everything). I also love to dress up (high heels, make up, expensive dresses I will wear only once). I held a grudge once, wasn’t particularly fond of it, and now I try my best to be explicitly understanding. Although I complain heartily about class work, I’m a fairly level headed and cheery person. I enjoy a good crowd as much as I enjoy perching on a rock with a good book near the fountain at Central Park. I’m versatile and adaptive, so to knock out the last question: my first year of college will change me in ways that will (hopefully?) allow me to achieve a 4.0 GPA and a social life.
3 biggest concerns for this year are:
- Writing analytical papers longer than 4 pages
- Time management
- Balancing social life with work (which I suppose could also be categorized as time management)
The biggest difference I feel between being a high school freshman and a college freshman is the dress code. I’m a girl who’s been in a catholic school for my entire life. Although my wallet is basically nonexistent now, I’m very grateful to be out of itchy oxford dress shirts and cardboard-esque skirts. I find that donning my own wardrobe enhances my ability to concentrate in class. A comfortable student is a receptive student.
