I am an Asian-American born and raised in New York City. I am an athlete, student, son and brother. I can be a little hard to understand. I don’t think that I even understand myself sometimes. I am smart but lazy. I know I can do better than how I am now but I don’t have the determination and motivation to do so. I’m a good friend and I can be very understanding and sympathetic. I am very curious and have always been ever since I was young. I want to better myself and I’m aiming to become a better person with every passing day.
My top concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College are the workload, the transition between high school and college, and the time management. I am naturally very lazy and I don’t do well with a lot of homework. I usually take my time to do it and I put it off until the very end. I would like if there is very little homework and all we need to do is to study. I want a smooth transition from high school into college. I don’t like the feeling of being at a new school again. I want to feel welcomed and to feel like I’m in a nice environment to learn. Lastly, I am worried about my time management. I want to use my schedule and the breaks between classes effectively. I don’t want to put time to waste and just not do anything.
What I think will make my Baruch experience different from my high school experience is my schedule and the freedom that we have to go wherever we want whenever we want. My short schedule allows me to do more of the things that I want to do. I have more free time and less time spent at school. However, a good amount of that time outside of school will have to be spent on schoolwork and studying. Some of the breaks between classes will allow me to spend time on my schoolwork and studying too as well as anything else I want to do. I have a lot of free time on my hands but I have to use it right.
I think my first year of college will be a cold dose of reality. At first, I’m not going to work very hard. I’m going to be lazy and then when my grades come in, I’m going to realize that I need to work a lot harder than I have been every working in school. My first year will show me that I can’t live being lazy like I have always been. I need to actually start working hard to get the grades that I want.
