Mandatory #3

Baruch has definitely lived up to my expectations in most ways… I didn’t want a college that was all the same type of people like my High School and I made the most diverse friends here in my block and clubs I joined. Shoutouttttt to Sheila, Victoria, Kolbein, Mike, Youssef and the rest of Block 55!

My first semester was good except I had to drop math because I was failing. In the beginning I was also feeling a little bit down because of the lack of a campus… most of my friends commuted so it was hard to go out together. As the semester went on though that all changed. I’ve been able to go hangout with my school friends and people from the dorm. I had alot of fun making new friends, hanging out, joining AIESEC, and the work load was not as bad as I imagined it to be. I now know that I really need to study more next semester though and not leave everything to the last minute.

There are few things that I would change about this semester. I would definitely not have failed out of math if i could do this all over again. Also, I would have made freshman seminar 2 semesters because I feel like we are all just starting to get closer but the semester is basically done.

Baruch did not change me as much as being in NYC did. I guess I was a little bit sheltered before since Long Island is its own bubble. I’ve met so many interesting people, I’ve had alot of cool experiences, and I’ve learned how to be on my own. :) I’m excited to see what the future has in store as my friendships grow stronger and I get closer to my career goals!

You are missing a tooth, you look like you are forty years old, and you are sitting in front of your welfare housing building … why would I ever give YOU my number?

 

Listen, I didn’t even care when you and your other 40 year old buddies all smiled at me and told me I was beautiful.  I said thank you. I was polite. But if you think its ok for you start screaming “hey mami” at me and shoving your phone in MY face asking for my number.. oh no. No, No, No.

 

Want to know what I did? I put my hands infront of my face and shouted, “I’m ONLY 18! NO THANK YOU”…and then I ran.

 

Seriously, what if I was your daughter??? Would you be checking me out and licking your lips then?
