Who am I? Well I am:
*An average girl minus the average part;I’m uber short*
*I can be lazy*
*I have bad time management & can be forgetful even though I tell myself I will do something & leave notes, which would explain why this post is two days late- SORRY!*
I think I am someone reliable, trustworthy, responsible and someone who is hardworking, but I’m well aware that I am no where near perfect. I know that although sometimes I tend to make mistakes it’s okay because I’m trying out this thing where I’m trying to be more positive about life and the obstacles it may throw at me from time to time.
I’m an artist as well because I love to draw even though i’m not that great, I love art, I love music, I love photography. I love being creative and imaginative. There are a million wonders in this world it just depends on what you make them to be.
I am also the baby of the family, with two older siblings that old enough to be my parents, heck they are my second pair of parents.
With that being said, my top 3 concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College would be:
1) Time management: In high school all my classes were one after another & my breaks were no where as long. Being in college with two to three hour breaks in between each class makes it hard to avoid procrastination which I’ve had a bad history with.
2)Adjusting # students classes: In my high school we only had 100 students per grade & everyone knew everyone & it wasn’t hard to get to know everyone, especially since there was 25-30 students per class. In college the size of the class ranges from 35-410 students that’s a big jump!
3) Passing all my classes: The way the classes are taught are way different than how it was in high school. The professors aren’t there to guide you through everything, rather they just give you the assignment and expect you to complete them and if you don’t understand it’s your own responsibility to find out the answers by asking for help or finding out other ways to help yourself to understand. They don’t baby you. You’re on your own.
What will make my experience here different than in high school are the people that you meet, the opportunities that are presented to you because of what you’ve achieved in high school, how well you perform in class and how you put yourself out there.
The first month of college has already changed me noticeably. I am no longer as dependent, I’m slowly but gradually becoming more responsible I’ve matured a lot and by the end of my freshman year I’m pretty sure that I will become a better role model for those who are younger than me. I know that I will be wiser from those who’ve I’ve met, my professors and from the decisions that I will make.
