What do I like best about myself? What do I like least about myself? What do I self-identify myself as? What roles do I play in life?

These are all good questions. Good questions mean difficult questions. Questions I may not be prepared to answer.

Well, I play a lot of roles in life. I’m a daughter, sister, granddaughter, teenager, and many other things. But my newest role in life is being a college kid. I like it a lot more than my other roles.

They say with independence comes responsibility. I’m definitely feeling the independence and definitely feeling the responsibility. There’s something about it that makes me wanna stay on top of things.

I usually enjoy my day at school, sometimes I’m too tired to enjoy it. Thursdays especially. Getting out of bed in the morning has been getting really difficult. Going to sleep early hasn’t been working out either.

College is a bit different from high school. High school kinda mattered but it really didn’t. Now we’re in the big leagues though. It’s time to step up our game and achieve greatness.

Hi there! My name is Dariya. I am very excited about my first semester of college. I am 18 years old, and I live in Yorktown Heights. Most people have no clue where that is.. It’s only about an hour upstate. I consider myself to be a pretty nice person, and I love meeting new people. That is one of the reasons that I went to Baruch, because it is in the middle of New York City, which is filled with lots and lots of cool people.

It’s been a couple weeks into the semester and I am already starting to struggle. In most of my classes, there is assigned homework for every class, and if not homework then reading in very boring textbooks… In high school I never used to read textbooks, but now I have no choice ]: Also, I have already been sick twice since the semester started, and I am not liking this weather we’ve been having lately. There’s a lot of responsibility and credibility that came along with this new college experience and it definitely is going to take some time to adjust. I hope to make the best of it.

As far as change goes, people are always changing. You’re changing, I’m changing, the world is changing. But that’s okay, it doesn’t bother me much. I just hope that this year will bring lots of positive change.

Thanks for reading!
