Hi, as many of you know already my name is Bianca and I am a Baruch college student. Being a first year college student there are a few difficulties that come along with that. My major problem that I am having is probably time management. I like to leave my work until the last minute to do. Even though that’s not the best idea, I still manage to get all of my work done on time. As far as my classes go, many of them are going very well. Political Science and Anthropology are the exception. My political science teacher does not teach at all and my anthropology class is very hard to understand the information. After discussing this problem with this class in Freshman Seminar, half of my class went down to the department of anthropology and complained and ever since then, the teacher has changed her ways in the classroom and has not only made the class tolerable but actually interesting to sit through.
Since I am officially a student here at Baruch I can say that I play the role of a freshman in college. I also play the role of a daughter to my mother and father, a niece to my aunt and uncle, a godmother to my little cousin, a girlfriend to my boyfriend, and an overall fun person.
When it comes to my high school and college experience, I definitely enjoy my college experience better. In high school everyone “babied” you and questioned every little thing you did. In college no one really cares or worries about you because it is up to you to do well in each class. College also offers me a lot more freedom then high school did and allows me to become more and more responsible.
Some of the things that I enjoy doing most when I have free time are hanging out with my friends and my boyfriend, going out, and just having a good time in general. Man things that I do NOT enjoy, that can also be called fears would be snakes, spiders, fire, and pigeons. Although many people will say that pigeons are a strange fear to have, I am actually terrified of the though of being pooped on as they fly over my head. Whenever one comes near me I literally run away from it.
Everyone in the worst has had to have at least one embarrassing moment in their life. One of my most embarrassing moments in my life would have to be the nigh I was out at a club with a few of my girlfriends. As I was walking down the stairs to use the bathroom I tripped over my own two feet and I went tumbling down the whole flight of stairs. I was absolutely mortified. Luckily not many people were around to see me.
On a higher note, although everyone has their downs in life, they also have theirs ups and feelings of accomplishment. The one time that I felt extremely accomplished was when I helped my friend get his high school diploma. My friend had a lot of trouble with math so since I was good in math I helped him study for his final test. With my help, he passed the test, which allowed him to get his diploma. This not only made him happy but it made his family happy and it felt great knowing that I helped him accomplish that. Because of this, my motto in life is “Never give up.” If everyone in life gave up, then no one would accomplish his or her goals.
