Blog #1 – Looking at the Man(jeet) in the Mirror :)

Who am I? I often ask myself that question. I do know I’m a very fun loving, friendly person. Having fun and being able to just be myself are two big things for me. I try to live my life with as much purpose as I can because you never know when it’ll end. One thing my parents had taught me from a young age was to all ways work hard and stay humble. Having parents whom immigrated here from both India and Guyana, I’ve seen how hard my parents have worked to get to where they are now. Seeing how hard they worked has inspired me to work hard for my dreams, because I know someday I’d achieve them.

I had a few concerns coming into this semester at Baruch. Knowing only very few people coming into Baruch with me, making friends was something I was concerned about. I was also concerned about having that ‘College’ experience all though I was coming to a commuter school. Being able to transition into the ‘College’ level of work was something I worried about. So far in these few weeks of college, I’ve allready made a good amount of friends, and I am pleasantly suprised with student life/college experience I’m getting here. All ready I’m able to see all the Clubs and Groups that students can join, and even all the after school activities like parties and such that one could go to.

My experience here at Baruch will be very different than my High School experience. My High School was very small with only around 160 kids per grade. I knew everybody in my grade, and I was good friends with a good part of them. Here at Baruch there are so many people here its a bit daunting. Everybody seems to have somewhere to go, or something to do at all times. Being able to be more independent with my studying and work will also be very different than my High School experience. I wont have anybody babysitting me anymore to get my work done; It’ll all be my resposibility.

I think when it comes to my first year here at Baruch, I’ll become a more open and independent individual. Juggling school and work will give me a better sense of resposibility and  I’ll be better prepared for the Real World.

College is something I think I’m really gonna love..
