Who do you think you are?

I think I am a very independant person, yet pretty lazy and maybe too easy going.  Procrastination was one of my biggest problems in high school. I would always find myself writing important papers the night before it was due. That is something I promised myself I would change in college. Besides procastinating, another concern I have about my freshman year at Baruch is balancing school and sports. I knew being a student athlete would be difficult, especially while getting used to the college workload. I think playing sports in high school was easier because teachers are always aware of practices and games. In college, professors don’t care about how often you have practices. It’s now my resposiblity to divide the time between the two and sometimes choose one over the other.  One last concern would be getting used to living in Manhattan. Living in suburban Long Island all my life, I knew living in the biggest city in the world would be a big change. I think the biggest difference from high school to college is that no one will watch over you to make sure that your school work is done. Many teachers in high school had various strategies to make sure their students completed all homework assignments. College professors however, leave the responsibilty up to the students. I think my first year in college will ultimately make me a more responsible person.
