Me

Hmmmmmm, who I think I am….   Well, I guess I’d start off by saying that I am Korean and I love chicken.       I enjoy playing sports, working out, chilling with friends and meeting new people. I consider myself outgoing, friendly, independent, kind, and motivated. I am very competitive (in a good way and bad way). I don’t necessarily agree, but people say that I have a small case of OCD. I love challenges, not problems.  I’m lazy when it comes to work I HAVE to do and I procrastinate a lot even though I know I shouldn’t (you could tell by when I’m sending this blog). I am not proficient in Korean (even though I really wish I was) and I love to eat. There are many more things I can share about myself but I’ll save that for when you actually get to know me.  lol   There are many things that I am worried about freshman year but the top three would have to be poor time management, not being involved in school enough, and not doing as well as I want to. Everyone says that time management is key in college and I believe so too. As long as a person can manage his/her time well, life flows more smoothly. This is also a good life skill to learn and have in the future. The reason I think not being involved in school enough is a major concern for me is because Baruch is a commuter school. This means that everyone comes to school for their classes and then has to head back home. College is where people generally make the friends that they’ll have for the rest of their lives and I think it is important to be exposed to all different kinds of people. Not only that, but if a person just comes to his/her class and then leaves, he/she misses all the opportunities that are available around Baruch. And the last one is probably a concern for almost every freshman out there. Nobody wants to do poorly their first year in college cause like that just sets the mood for the next semester and etc. Starting off strong freshman year will help set the standard for future semesters. College is completely different than high school. In college, you are exposed to so many different things that high school you probably have no idea about. What ultimately will make my college experience different from my high school experience is the amount of freedom and responsibility I’m given as well as the dorm/apartment life. College has definitely already started to change me, not in the sense of who I am but how I perceive things. After my first year at college, I’d have to say that life won’t seem the same anymore. I probably won’t take things for granted as much like the car I drive or the money I spend freely. I feel like by the end of the year I’ll understand a bit of what the “real” world has in store for me. I’ll definitely have a lot of fun along the way but in the end college will “make me or break me”.
