Who am I? I’m Audrey, Aud, Aud Lew, or Audacious. I’m a dreamer, an artist, a writer, a pianist, a photographer and a teenager. I’m also a freshman at Baruch. Before this semester started I was so excited but also scared out of my skin. One of my major concerns was keeping up with the material in all of my courses also, the word syllabus just scares me. I was also concerned with not knowing where to go, believe it or not. In high school, I would know exactly where to go for the solution to problems, I would know who talk to about a specific issue where as in Baruch I thought I would be completely lost in the sea. But the one thing I was concerned about the most was not staying true to myself and changing my ways just to “make friends” in college (I can tell you that this is no longer a concern).
College life is a different breed from high school life. It’s more raw and real; it’s like a reality check. The one thing I know that will make my experience at Baruch College different from my high school experience is the fact that I can broaden my network so much more. Where as I had only about maybe a thousand or so people going to my high school, I now have the entire campus..the entire city to network. Another aspect that I think will be different is the atmosphere in general, everything is so much more fast paced yet at the same time more relaxed. It’s a complete contradiction but some how it works.
Change occurs whether you like it or not. I don’t exactly know how my first of college will change me but I do hope that it will change me in the sense that it will make me more mature in all aspects of my life.
