Subject: Question about homework assignment #2

Dear Professor Kardashian,

I have a question about the homework that you assigned earlier today. Do we need to cite the sources for the mini annotation? I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your time and efforts.

Best Regards,

This year, to say the least, is the most stressful and unlucky year I’ve ever experienced. In the beginning of the year, I went to Europe with a few of my girlfriends and we visited the most beautiful countries in Europe; Spain, Italy, and Greece. I took over 600 pictures just in Greece and Italy, and by the time I reached Spain I realized I lost my camera. Talk about bad luck. When I got back from Europe I had a series of very temporary jobs with horrible bosses. Furthermore, I was endangered of failing English a month before my graduation. Mind you that I have a 92.5 on my high school transcript. In addition to what seems like a string of bad luck, I came to Baruch and I met a group of unintelligent, unhelpful, and unreliable kids in my block. I’m just kidding. This group of people is probably the few accidents that are helping me get through this year and finish it the right way. Thus, even though it’s not a great year, I’ve learned and grew so much from what has happened and I want to thank the important people that make it better every day.

I am a eighteen-year-old student attending Baruch College. I’m extremely hard working and dedicated. My top three concerns about freshman year are getting a 4.0, balancing school with work, and making new friends. I need to get a 4.0 so I have the option of transferring to NYU Stern. It’s a goal of mine but the more time I spend at Baruch, the more I contemplate about transferring. Balancing school and work is probably the biggest challenge I have right now. I worked when I was in High School but that was a joke. Attending College and having a part time job is much different. And lastly making new friends was a concern for me but not anymore. I was scared to meet new people but excited at the same time. I’m glad I chose my block because the people that are in my block are so “chill”. I can’t thank them enough and if I get a 4.0 it’d be because of their help. The main difference between high school and college is the commute. Jesus Christ…that’s the worst. I am completely drained after a full day of school and the three hours of commute that come with it and on some days I have to go to work for another 7 hours. I used to live across the street from my school and now I have to wake up more than two hours before class just to be there on time. It’s ridiculous. However, other than the commute, college is much better than high school. We have so much more freedom and trust from our teachers here. There’s no b ***shit. The first year of college will definitely change me in a better way. I think i’ll learn to manage my time better and not procrastinate. It will help me grow up and get out of my comfort zone, which is exactly what I need. All in all, I’m super excited for the rest of the year!!
