Mandatory Post 1

Who do I think I am? I am a bee. Wait, did I seriously just use a metaphor to answer that question? Alright, let me explain: I am a tiny bee that is insignificant on its own, but with the teamwork and communication with the rest of the bees in the world, I can probably make honey. Well, not exactly honey, but something similar. Basically, what I’m trying to say is that I, myself, am nothing special. Sure, I can do lots of things, but in the end I’m just a human. Not that being human is not great, but its when we work together as a giant united community that we shine the best and accomplish goals…Similar to bees working together to make honey! Now as a tiny bee that has made it’s first steps into college, I have a few concerns. My main concern is NOT procrastinating. I’m sure I’m not the only one, but in my last year of high school I had a serious case of Senioritus. One of the most severe symptoms of this horrid disease is procrastination. This year in College, I hope for a new start and ridding my habit of procrastination for good. But considering that I am writing this blog post the morning of the day it is due, I don’t know if I will be able to stick to my goal. Another concern of mine is trying to put all the college resources I have available to use. I’m trying to force myself to use the free weight training room that is available, although I cant seem to do that either. Another one of my great concerns is distraction. I’m sort of hoping not to make too many friends at this college so I am not distracted from focusing on my assignments and readings. But like everything else, I’ll probably fail at that too. Looking back at high school and now at college, I can tell there are quite a few things that will make my Baruch College experience different from my high school experience. For one, there is a LOT more freedom. I love being able to leave my school whenever with no questions asked. Also, I am pretty happy Baruch is NOT shaped liked a prison. One of the greatest things about my college experience that I look forward to almost everyday can be summarized in one word: Bubbletea. Yes, I said it. All my friends in high school kept insisting I tried bubbletea, and now there is one right outside Baruch. I am completely hooked, addicted, and obsessed. My desire for bubbletea makes me look forward to going to school everyday.  That being said, I am not too sure if college will change me that much. If anything, it will improve my ability to longboard/skateboard because I like practicing a little bit of longboarding inbetween classes on the sidewalk (although I really am horrible at it). Overall, I guess I would just be a little bit more independant than I was before.
