“who do you think you are?”

Who I think I am? Well, I am a Baruch College freshman, I am a dog owner, and I am a resident of Brooklyn. I enjoy having a good conversation almost about anything, I like to listen to music, and I hate going outside in the rain.
My top three concerns about my freshman year in Baruch College are no different than anyone else’s. The amount of homework I receive on a daily basis is one of my biggest concerns; since I am used to procrastinating until the very last day. Another concern of mine is failing; I am unsure of what to expect on exams given in college or how I should prepare for them. Lastly, I am concerned about my time management, it is difficult for me because I am not used to the strict deadlines given in college.
The amount of work definitely makes my college experience different than high school. In high school, or at least senior year, I had little work assigned to me since our main priority was studying for our AP exams and applying to college. Also, college allows me much more freedom than high school. In high school we weren’t allowed to leave the building until the school day was over, whereas in Baruch I leave the school on a daily basis to get lunch or go to another class.
I think my first year in College will make me smarter. With the amount of work I receive on a daily basis, I would be very surprised if I don’t learn something new. Though some of my subjects are very straightforward, other classes require me to think about solving a problem much more than I am used to. I am used to having Google solve all my problems, but with Baruch’s strict plagiarizing rules, I try to limit my use. Just like freshman year in high school, I think that my first year in college will be the easiest; which is not a good thing considering that I have enough homework for almost every day of the week. I hope my first year in college will make me more diligent. Not putting enough effort into an assignment or studying for an exam can be catastrophic to my GPA. Unfortunately my two hour commute deprives me of much of the time I can use to work on my homework or studying for my exam.
