Who do I think I am? I know my name is Amador Delerme, and that I’m male. Is that enough? No? Well then.
I’m generally a quiet person, and like to keep to myself. Obviously, that’s not exactly recommended in today’s society, so I try to communicate more when spoken to. Not sure how that has been working out. Anyways, I’m a mix of Chinese and Puerto Rican. People tend to flip out when they hear I’m half-Chinese for some reason, especially when I speak some Cantonese. What I like to do most of the time is watch anime, and read manga. I’m basically what you would call an Otaku. I even keep my own MAL(myanimelist) profile in order to keep track of what I have read/watched. (http://myanimelist.net/profile/arkane is my profile for the curious)
…I think kinda trailed off there, lol. Back on topic.
My top 3 concerns for my freshman year?
First and foremost, getting to know people, and making friends. You really can’t have a good college experience if you don’t have any friends. That also includes your normal daily life, obviously.
Secondly, passing class. I have this habit of leaving things alone until the last minute. Something that I really need to change. Like this blog for example. I think I’m the only one who didn’t complete his first blog yet. I even have an essay paper due tomorrow… Well, enough of that.
Third… Nothing comes to mind at the moment. Do I have to make something up?
Experiences… The most obvious one would be the feeling of independence. In High School, you couldn’t exit the building whenever you felt like, and buy a cup of coffee, or go into the computer lab during breaks to type a blog, could you? There’s no limitations, you’re free to do whatever because hey, you payed for it. There’s also the clubs you could join. A club in particular that I’m interested in is the Japanese Anime Asylum club. You already know why, so I won’t go into detail or I might get side-tracked, again.
How do I think my first year of college will change me? I’ll be more social, hopefully. The clubs will probably be what changes me the most. Back in High School, the cafeteria was where I could talk about anime stuff if I happened to know someone who was interested. Unfortunately, I could only ever find one or two people. With clubs here in Baruch, things should be different. Getting to know a whole group of people who are interested in the same things, attending conventions, things like that.
I’m bad at conclusions, so I’ll just end this post here.
Later!
