They say the only opinions that matter are the ones of your own. Well, I guess it could be true when it comes to explaining who we are. I’m someone who never stops talking if I get comfortable around my surroundings. I’m who makes everyone around me laugh because of the silly things I say. I’m also a student with long-term goals, a sister and a daughter with responsibility, and a girlfriend with tolerance. I’m a scary tutor who makes the kindergartners and first graders run the opposite way whenever they see me. I’m also many other things except a genius, super model, comedian, and the rest of the list of my impossibilities. It’s not easy to define myself when I’m still on the path of searching self identity.
Being a freshman isn’t easy because of adjustment. I’m concerned about my GPA, future classes, and my future friends. My GPA obviously ranks first because I must keep it up to maintain my scholarship. There are classes, such as Anthropology, that I do not work well in. If my GPA is below a certain number, then it would become a big matter that would affect me on the long term. My future classes are also one of my concerns because they’re my building block to success. I’m not sure which class to take first and if they’re suitable for my major. Lastly, who would be influencing me in the future? Friends are important because they take part in shaping who you become, I hope I won’t make the wrong choice by joining a wrong crowd.
Many things about Baruch sets itself apart from high school. In high school, I was surrounded with the same faces and activities from September to June. In Baruch, there are fresh faces everyday for me to look at, and I love the amount of events that different clubs host. My first year of college would definitely help shape me into a more independent person. Also, college would also change me physically because of the innumerable places to eat around!
