Thats a pretty broad question to ask. Who am I? I am alot of things to alot of different people. A brother, a son, and a good friend. But what who do i think i am? I would have to say i am just a normal freshman at Baruch College. But I happen to commute from New Jersey, so that plays a big role in my “double life”.
My top three major concerns at Baruch College while being a freshman are; passing the classes, meeting some interesting people, and getting to class on time. Passing the classes is one of my major concerns because i didnt do so well in highschool and i can easily slack off, so i need to stay focused. Meeting some new people is another major concern because im commuting, i dont really get that privilege to have a roomate and easily meet new people. My last major concern is getting to class on time. There seems to be a strict policy on tardiness at baruch. I wouldnt want to upset any of the proffesors or put my grade at jeapordy for being late.
The workload had definetly made the college experience way different from the highschol experience. i usually get alot of work in english and math that keeps me busy for awhile. And the amount of freedom you get at college is defintly different from hgihschool. I mean i have the choice to do anything i want. I dont have to come to class or do the homeowrk, no one is going to go after me. But i choose to do it because it was be stupid of me not to. But i really do aprriciate that. Another thing is coming to new york city everyday is pretty cool. I grew up in a suburban area and nothing usually goes on around there, but the city is filled with excitement.
I think my first year at Baruch will really make me more independent. It will also get me more focused on school. And going to college is obviously going to make me a smarter individual. The biggest change i would have to say is move from my smalllittle town to the city. The transisition is going to be a little weird and bit of getting used to. But i am still very excited for that in january. It is literally the next chapter in my life and i can not wait to start it.
