I think I am a very well rounded individual. I think Im unique in my own ways, and Im very competitive when it comes to a challenge. I enjoy being pushed to my limits because then I feel like I always tried my best and thats all that matters. Im also a very fun person and I love to explore new things, and travel to new places and find out new things about myself all the time.

My top three concerns about my freshman year at Baruch would be time management, studying, and being able to keep my social life. I think time management is my main concern because everything else ties into that. I was never an organized person before college, but I think college is somewhat making me become an organized person. Its important that I manage my time accordingly, and I get all my work done on time so that I can have a social life outside of school. Studying is also another concern, because I really despise studying, but I’m somewhat forced to study now that Im in college and the work is a a lot more than in high school. My social life is my last concern because I think its really important that you have a good balance between work and leisure, so that your never too overwhelmed. I think having a social life balances everything out because its your free time to just get away from school and forget all the things you have to do for a couple of hours.

The one thing that makes the Baruch College experience different from High School is the freedom. I think in college you have a lot more freedom to do whatever you want. You have a lot more options to make choices on your own, and you don’t have teachers constantly bugging you to get things done, its all your own responsibility. I think having this freedom makes life a lot easier. You get to finally be an adult and do things on your own and make your own choices.

I think my first year in college will help me mature and take on my own responsibilities. I think it will help me “grow up” into an adult, and learn how to do things on my own, and realize that someone isn’t always going to be there to remind me that I have to do certain things. Its all my own responsibility now, and its up to me to get things done.  I think my first year here will change me in many ways, but all for the better, and in all ways which will be beneficial to my future.
