I haven’t figured out what my goals are; besides striving for excellent grades and trying to get involved with the Baruch community. I’m only an immature girl who doesn’t know what she wants yet after all. Although, I do have some idea on what to major in; perhaps accounting or possibly international business. It only just feels like yesterday I stepped out of the teenager zone and moved onto the adult zone. The nostalgia feeling of high school and old classmates and friends comes back from time to time. For me, adjusting to college seems fine at the moment, I’m not complaining. Figuring out time management, and knowing that I’m the only one who takes full responsibility of my own actions is a huge step. The idea of growing up and each day passing by just seems scary. Sometimes I look at my mother and I see her growing older each day and it makes me not watch to grow up. It makes me want to go back to the leisure times of being young; where watching cartoons and not having a care in the world was simply amazing. Although I am maturing, I’m sure to keep my immature side: the part that loves to watch cartoons, play ridiculous games with friends, or jumping in puddles when it’s rainy weather.
Going back on the subject of college, I think things are going just fine. Some of my professors are quirky, peculiar, enthusiastic, nice, and just plain boring. I used to think that in college, you would not see the same faces of your classmates in each class but this is not the case in Baruch. I’m kind of disappointed. I think that without “blocks”, it would have given us freshmen more of a chance to go and meet more people. I’m still thinking of clubs to join, perhaps taekwondo? I was always interested in learning some type of martial arts or self defense. I guess chinese movies took an influence on me. I saw some of the taekwondo club videos and it looks so intense, it intimidates me. So I’m undecided on joining…
College doesn’t seem scary. It’s just the idea of being alone in a new place that’s frightening to most. I kind of like the idea of having a lot of work and at the same time I don’t. It makes me more studious and less of a procrastinator. I think that’s a good thing, but it also takes time from my social life. My close friends go to colleges in different states and countries; it’s hard to talk to them at times. But I have a feeling things will work out well, even as this college process is a long way to go.
