My name is Maggie Chan. I’m a Chinese American. I live in Elmhurst. I am not good with words and public speaking. I can be quite an awkward person if you don’t know me well enough but overall I think I’m an easy going person. I run out of things to say pretty fast like right now… I like to eat food… and trying new things just for the fun of it. I suck at sports. Right now I am also a broke college student. I never knew books could cost so much!
3 top concerns I have about freshman year at Baruch College: First of all I wasn’t sure if I would like it at Baruch. It seems like Baruch is pretty much like high school all over again aside from the 3 hour breaks and 10 times more work but I guess it’s not that bad. Now I’m wondering how I’ll pass my classes when I can’t really remember what I read in the textbooks. I haven’t even gotten my TI-89 yet. Lastly, I was scared I wouldn’t make any friends because like I said I can be quite awkward but thanks to LC-16 I’m not a loner haha
So far, I think because we were placed into blocks, my Baruch experience isn’t much different from high school. I go class -> I go home. Everyone says to get involved and join something which I will eventually but it’s easier said than done. I think my first year of college will make me more independent. There won’t be anyone there to remind me when an assignment is due or to borrow homework from.
