Oh crap i almost forgot this
My experience at Baruch college has been fine overall. I expected to not be as social, as in parties and stuff but I did not expect that I would like it as much as I do. Granted, I do say “ugh eff that test” or “i dont wanna go to that class, we don’t learn anything” but I am still pleased with my choice of coming to baruch. I have a close knit group of friends and always have help if i need it.
My first semester has really helped me transition in to college life. I really study now and do my assignments. My grades werent all that great in the beginning but im getting the hang of it, now its a piece of cake. I don;t think i will fail any class so that’s good.
One thing I would do differently is start working hard from day number one so I wouldnt feel overwhelmed when we did have a test and paper and quiz to do on one day. But I got used to it so its not so bad.
The way I’ve changed is how I actually do work and study. I never did that kind of stuff. I always got amazing test grades in high school without studying, for quite literally, any test I’ve ever had in highschool. Not even the SAT’s and i got a well above average score twice. College made me more responsible about my work and I think ill be able to grow into a great student come next semester and so on.

MONONUCLEOSIS-LOG
So on Thursday I spoke about how my dad has been there for me every step of the way. Now im just going to refine what i said because at the time i was not very prepared to speak in front of the class.
So basically my dad has been there through the thick and thin. Upon his request and my mothers refusal he let my 2 brothers and me enroll in a Martial Arts Academy. Both of my brothers started when they were three and it was my turn. I was 3 years old when i was a white belt. My dad always told me i would whine about not wanting to go to the dojo and how i would lock myself in the bathroom and play with my toys (i know…im so cool). But in the end, he always got me to go. I thank him for this. If I just gave up on it I wouldn’t be the outgoing and fun guy I am today. Not only did it make me outgoing but it also made me very confident in myself. My dad always said “You got your black belt at 13, most of these people on the streets cant even throw a real punch, don’t take sh*t from anybody” This was all said in out native language. Because of the positive encouragement from my Dad i went on to get a 2nd degree black belt and then a 3rd. After all this martial arts business my dad accomplished his goal of having his 3 sons become blackbelts but his support didnt stop there. He showed up to my first track meet in 9th grade and even though i didnt do that well he said “You’ll do better next time, its only your first race. Keep on working hard and you’ll make it to states next year” The crazy thing is, he told this to me during winter track…and i made it to the Spring outdoor season State championships in Buffalo. The one thing that my dad did that makes me so happy and know he’s always going to be there for me was when i was at the state meet and he drove up to buffalo to see me race. He told me he had business to take care of and bid me goodluck and what not. But he showed up at the meet about 2 hours before my race.
I could say more but i have a lot of other homework to get done. But in all, I guess i just wanted to share with everyone how much I love my Father and no matter what I can always count him to be there for me.

EMAIL THINGY
Dear Mrs. Mearle,
Hey Mrs. Mearle, I was just emailing you to tell you that I had some really bad sushi last night and now i have the runs. I know I’m being very straight forward and I could have just said “hey, I’m sick.” But no, you are my teacher and you deserve to know exactly what is wrong with me. I am deeply sorry for not being able to show to class today and I am sorry for not being able to email you before class due to the fact that I was in the bathroom all morning. I can come in on Wednesday with a doctors note and I will be up to date on all the work I missed. Okay, now I have “to go”, I can feel it. Thank you for your time and I’ll see you on Wednesday.
Sincerely,
Fahad Ghuman

Who am I? I don’t know, who am I. Am I a figment of your imagination? Probably not. Anyways, my name is Fahad Ghuman.
“who do you think YOU are!” is the first question for this blog post. Let me just say it that there should be a “?” instead of a “!”. But to answer the question, I think I’m and outgoing individual and very competitive in anything I do. I think I’m a fun guy that people like to be around.
What are my top 3 concerns about my freshman year at Baruch? Well, probably the biggest concern is going to be my time management. I was known to be a huge procrastinator in high school, i would then never be able to actually finish the work because it would be too late. I know what i have to do in college and I intend on changing my habits. My second concern is getting these blog entries in before midnight because its 11:45 right now. Just kidding, but I seriously need to hurry up. My real second concern is getting too caught up in social life. I need to put school before anything because that’s what matters most right now. It kind of plays in with time management, I need to focus on school but also need to set time aside to be more social and have a good time at school. My third concern is finding an internship by the end of this year. I went to a club meeting where they talked about getting internships and they talked about resume’s and what not. They made it seem that u needed a bunch of things before you could make a good resume. All I have now is working a year at Baskin Robbins. I need to start working hard to be successful.
What will make my Baruch experience different than my high school experience? I know the biggest change will be the amount of studying and doing work I will be doing here is going to be probably 99% more than i did in all of highschool. Another change will probably be not being able to have more time for friends as i did in highschool.
I think my first year in college will make me more mature and less outgoing because of all the studying and working I will do. BUT IT WILL NEVER CHANGE WHO I AM AS A PERSON! Anyways, that’s pretty much all i can say about what this year will do for me, other than have me stressing a lot more than in high school.
My computer time says 11:52, my watch says 11:56 and my phone says 11:50. I think I did this on time. Thanks for spending your precious time reading my blog, i know it made you’re day 10x better, just kidding. Bye.
