Hello, I am a Korean American girl and I always try to finish all my assignments/projects way before the due date because I learned a very important lesson when I was in elementary school. Back then, I used to procrastinate like most of my friends and put all of my work to the side and always played first. But, one day when I had a big research project to type up about 10 pages, my whole family were going to eat dinner out at a family party, I was so sad and also angry at myself for procrastinating. So, after this incident I always try to do my work ahead of time. As you can see I am writing this today.
The top three concerns I have regarding my freshman year at Baruch College is first, I would not be able to keep my GPA high, because I heard it is hard to pull up the grades later on. Second, I do not know how to sign up for my classes, especially because I would not be in a block anymore. Third, I would like to find a better way to buy textbooks next semester because the books are so expensive.
So far, I think that College is really different from my high school because the students can first, use cell phones, laptop, and other electronics in college without trying to hide from anyone such as the deans who would confiscate them. Secondly, after we finish taking the test students can leave the classroom. Thirdly, students can leave the building when they want without worrying about being suspended.
My first year in College will make me learn two important things. First, to teach myself, because some professors do not teach everything they should, so in order to take the test, I need to teach some stuff on my own. Second, I will have learned how to manage my time with studying with the long time traveling to school.
